Just scrolling through to post this exact comment.... too late...
As for the rest...
I'm not a Gruden fan. He won with an inherited TB team and then tore it apart. Too volatile for my taste.
Saban has burned his NFL bridges as far as I am concerned with the way he fucked over the Fins. Besides he has all the spotlight and $$$ he needs at Bama.
I think Cowher is interesting. I have no doubt that his fire would reignite in a heart beat. And vs Gruden I think it's the right amount of fire. Plus if he doesn't take a job soon, the calls will dwindle to zero...
Billick - Nothing there but ego...
Reid - Why go after another "can't do it" retread?
Mooch - no
Holmgren - hell no...
What about Jim Tressel? Always thought he was cast in the mold of Bill Walsh, and in the NFL there are no rules against free tattoos...

i knew of gruden when going to sandusky HS. he was no tough guy then. i think he might have taken his napolean complex and turned into this 'chucky' persona. i don't think he's a great coach. if you think billick was lucky then put gruden up there with him.
no one on that list excites me so i didn't vote (there should be a select button for 'none of the above').
i agree with someone in another post that we should hire marty schottenheimer as president (see ya fat boy!) and let him figure out the rest. i wouldn't however flush everyone out who is a part of this coaching squad. i'd keep jauron and any other coach who has proven themselves (shurmur and childress got to go) and i'd keep heckert.
there's something ingrained in this WC style offense we play that just falls flat.
edit: well i just read about banner replacing holmgren, so the schottenheimer reference is null and void. another idea shattered. lol.

thanks. didn't see it.
at the time of my vote it's interesting to see that 'gruden' and 'other' are neck and neck.

And the Texans with a MASH unit won in the playoffs, Ratbirds go to SB if Evans holds onto ball and 9ers are in if Ginn is returning punts.. All these teams have top defenses in the league and outside of Hou, a bunch of soso O's...
"All these teams have top defenses" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since 2000 only the Ravens in 2000 had a "GREAT" defense.
You say the ratbirds woulda shoulda but didn't and the 49ers woulda shoulda. but didn't.... If that's the case the Browns would be 1-0. Afterall we should have intercepted that pass Vick threw.................................
Anyone can get to the playoffs, hell the Bungles got there last year. And they will be lucky to win 6 games this year

Bring in John Benton current Texans O-Line coach also a long time student of the zone blocking scheme to run the Offense.
And bring in Bernie as our new GM.

I would not agree with that. They were close, but the 2000 Ravens I think would rank better.
Also, the 2005 Steelers defense would be in that conversation of best defenses since 2000.
The problem with trying to rate the "best defense" of all time is the age old problem of "different eras" having different rules or different philosophies.
E.g. There were massive rule changes in the late 70s/early 80s geared toward improving offensive output. Some of the greatest defenses we all know: Steel Curtain/Purple People Eaters/Fearsome Foursome/Grits Blitz/Doomsday etc. of the 60s/70s were able to bump and run down the field...able to use the head slap...able to pummel QBs almost at will
..all of which would be penalties today.
And even going back. In the early years it was quite common to have a 0-0 tie. I am curious when the last time a game ended 0-0. A shutout of any kind is rare today. Offenses were not as adept then.

The Bucs D was good, but the Ratbirds were WAY better. Balt gave up 23 points total in 4 playoff games, TB gave up 37 points in 3 playoff games. Balt allowed an NFL record 60 rushing yards a game.

Let us not forget the 1985 Bears. No discussion of the greatest defense ever is complete without them. They are pretty much consensus #1.

Thats a good one. IMHO we should keep Jauron and all of the defensive coaches. He showed last yr that he deserves the job. But, we desperately need an offensive-minded HC and better position coaches. Holmgren had the right idea with Shurmur but he just seems like an idiot. And, Childress is useless as well. Neither one of these guys can call plays.
Bring in a HC to coach and an OC to call plays. That's the way it should be. I like the guy from Houston... as an OC but we need a true motivator HC to inspire this team that's been like a bump on a log for too long.

i agree with everything you said.
now here's the question: who would you pick as the next HC?

Nobody is going anywhere, not right now anyways. Is it that much of a surprise that it's NOW, on the cusp of us turning the corner and taking the playoffs by storm, imposing our will on defense and hitting the offense with big plays, when once we turn this around the Browns product will skyrocket. Just look at what Hillis did in one OKAY year! Everyone wants to see the Browns stomp ass. We're in the right direction and Haslam is just the first to make a bid... there will be more.
The Cleveland Browns are one of the biggest and best franchises in all of sports.
The Browns will start to win... now.

I didn't vote as I am elated that we are starting a relationship with a passionate OWNER who is also a football FAN. I totally trust what he will do. That being said, I have seen NO ONE able to dissect a play or situation better than Bernie Kosar & am hoping there is a place in the Haslam/Browns' family for this brilliant football mind.
To once again use one of MY favorite sayings (inherited from Dad)......"We'll see".

The train is just getting started, but once he gets some momentum, what's going to stop the train?
Our O-line will respond. They've been blocking for Hardesty and Jackson for the last month. They are not the same caliber of runningback as Richardson is. He will INSPIRE them with his die-hard running and never giving up on a play. They will gel very soon and with a player like 33 behind them it will push them so much harder and then consistency comes in where they will know what is the best point of attack for TRENT to hit them on... do you know what I'm sayin? Let's get some coals in the furnace and get this train moving!!! Go Browns.
