Childress isn't the answer for Browns
January, 27, 2012
By Jamison Hensley
The Browns made the right call when they decided to add an offensive coordinator, and they needed to hire someone with experience.
But hiring Brad Childress -- who was officially named offensive coordinator -- is not the answer. The Browns really needed to push to get Mike Sherman, who appears to be headed to the Miami Dolphins to be their offensive coordinator.
The problem with Childress is his track record with offenses. In the eight years that Childress has been a head coach or offensive coordinator in the NFL, his offenses have ranked in the bottom half of the league five times.
The disturbing part is he's only been an NFL playcaller for one season. The result? The Vikings finished 23rd in yards and 26th in points (17.6 per game) in 2006 before Childress passed those duties over to offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell the next season. Childress didn't call the plays in his three seasons as the Eagles' offensive coordinator (Andy Reid held that role) and he didn't call the plays in his final four seasons with the Vikings.
That resume doesn't inspire confidence that he will turn around a Browns offense that scored more than 17 points twice last season. Then again, it's hard to imagine any coordinator could really affect an offense that has major question marks at quarterback and running back as well as a void of playmakers at wide receiver.
Hiring Childress isn't the worst move. The team could have simply promoted quarterbacks coach Mark Whipple, but that wouldn't have accomplished anything.
Pat Shumur was overwhelmed in his first season as the Browns head coach, and he needed to have the responsibility of running the offense taken away. The only way an inexperienced head coach will succeed is if he has experienced coordinators supporting him. The Browns will have veteran voices with Childress and defensive coordinator Dick Jauron.
If I were Shurmur, I would rely on Childress' advice but not his play-calling ability

Browns building an experienced coaching staff and will return to greatness. You need to give them time with the new regime. Stop being so negative and chill out with "chilly"

With Childress, Browns will now take RGIII. Next pick Kendal Wright WR, then Marcellus DE, Osemele OT, LaMichael James RB, Bryan Broyles WR.

Well there ya have it folks.

what the heck is hiring this dimwit supposed to accomplish? he's never done anything, he's just another retread with limited personal experience of success on his own.
If Childress is the answer, I don't want to hear the question.
-
We could have hired Bill Wash as OC and people would still complain.
-
I gotta agree with the Worrys on Childress he didnt do anything in Philly that was all Reid...
Makes me wonder though wasnt he the one who thought Tarvaris Jackson was a stud?? RG3 may be coming to Cleveland i guess that could be seen as a positive at least
-
Nice to see Holmgren and Heckert sticking with their plan of handing out cakewalk paychecks to their buddy-buddies from yesteryear.

If you really think all these guys don't WANT to win, and they want to end their careers being a joke, I feel bad for you. Everyone in this league wants to win, get your head straight.

If you think a new OC is going to be the reason any QB gets drafted then your an idiot.

Don't look now, but I think FINNIGAN1 is Brad Childress. He's the only person who could be so amped over this hire.
If the reason we were looking for an offensive coordinator was to relieve Shurmur of the pressure of calling plays, why bring in an offensive coordinator with no history of playcalling?
To me, this move reeks of a "good ol' boy" network hiring. That's not always a bad thing, except in this situation it means two things:
1) We now have two coaches on the staff who do not know how to call plays.
2) We will be taking RG3 in the draft.
Childress was credited with "developing" McNabb in Philly, leading him to five Pro Bowls. In Minnesota, Childress showed an affection for Tarvaris Jackson, trading up to get him in the second round, when Jackson was predicted as being a 4th round pick at the earliest.
I'm sure Childress sees RG3 as his next McNabb. McNabb and RG3 had very similar college careers. Granted, RG3's numbers were higher, but he attempted nearly twice as many passes as Donovan did in college. It's a safe bet that Donovan would have had very similar numbers if he played in the "pass happy" system offenses of today.
"I think you judge quarterbacks a little bit differently...When you see what you want at the quarterback position, you need to go get it. And that's exactly what I see with ____________________ is a guy that's a piece of clay, that has all the skills in terms of, No. 1, what's he look like throwing the football?...He's got a great throwing motion; he's athletic. He has all those things that we're looking for, and he's wired right."
Brad Childress, on...no not RG3...Tarvaris Jackson. If that's not foreshadowing then I don't know what is.
And FINNIGAN1, if you want to call me names try to belittle me, have the balls to do it where everyone can see. Don't personally message me insults, you pussy.
And stop double and triple posting, asshole.

Your an idiot for assuming i thought anything, i simply said he likes mobile QBs i do not think he will make the selection but he will be dicussing the outcome as well as Shurmur and Holmgren and Jauron..Im sure there will be tons of Scouts giving there opinons as well but Heckert will make the final call

i don't like Shurmer, but i do like the fact that both of his coordinators are former Head Coaches. All of that experience and their input can only help.

Actually, add Defensive Assistant Ray Rhodes to that list. He is also a former NFL Head Coach. Give all that experience & a 3rd straight solid draft a full training camp & that ain't bad. I like the way we're headed.

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
Lerner is indirectly paying Bob Lamonte millions of dollars per year. How dumb can a silver spoon billionare be.
-
And all these guys are former head coaches for a reason. And don't give me that "good coordinator bad head coach" garbage because it's said so much it's cliche and is the exception not the rule.
