I'm Actually Rooting For Shurmur To Keep His Job

    I can understand why people think the idea of keeping him is crazy because I would have a few weeks ago.

    I also admit that I don't get to see what the guy says after the games being over here, so don't really know if he has a plan to take us gradually forward this season or is just some dumb fuck who got lucky by having a bunch of talented rookies given to him.

    Either way, like I said, with the new owners in charge he now knows he has to get things going or he's gone, which is a win win deal for us Browns fans.

    Yep...I'm sick & tired of talking about draft picks this time of year....this team needs to learn how to win sometime, and that sometime is now.

    Shurmer could make it tough on Haslam. I was shocked last week when he went for it twice on 4th down, and actually threw out of the end zone. Was it Shurmer learning, or was it because we were playing the Raiders?

    Attack attack attack on both sides of the ball, that's what I want to see.

  • I don't think shurmur is an idiot necessarily I think he's a guy who's had a tough team to start a head coaching gig with. Like it or not the fans are out for blood in this town. Win win win or get out of town. He's learning the rooks and sophmores are learning I think he's doing an ok job and might even pan out as a decent coach in the future. I wouldn't mind him staying as long as Haslem is there to put the needles to him and pressure him to be aggressive and leave his highly conservative comfort zone. I don't think Haslem will retain him, but I wouldn't hate it.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • If we get some big name guy and he does no better within 2 years then this shit happens again. This team is playing hard for him, I think if he delegated the calls a little more he would be in better shape. Once again we have been in pretty much every game this year. We are just very inconsistent. With the coordinators we have, there is no reason to blow things up again. At the end of the day though, there will be some big names floating around this offseason and we will probably move on AGAIN! No matter what Im still gonna make games and spend money on watching them.

  • You do relize the players are playing there ass off because

    1. its there job

    2. The fear of God named Haslem is looking down on them

    Shurmer is a Moron.....

    We have 4 wins

    Cincy Good win

    San Diego WE won because we know how to play in that type of weather and Rivers does not

    Steelers game- NO BIG BEN

    Oakland game- Its Oakland

    Indy game- Shurmer coast us the game not Gordon dropping the ball

    Both Balt games could have won got Shurmered

    Cowboys game Got Shurmered

    Giants game got Shurmered

    Philly game got Shurmered

    Not saying we win all those games with a Different coach, but I know with Caoching staff from San Fran, Green Bay, Balt, Pitts, NE, Tampa, Alt, NY Giants, Seattle, INdy, we win at least 3 to 4 of those games that would put us at 7-5 or 8-4 not 4-8

    Steelers beat the ravens with batch. Makes the browns win seem better

  • If it's not Shurmur, then who?

  • Shurmur needs to demonstrate he can BLOW OUT A TEAM with KC tomorrow. Also he needs 7-9 to be considered an option.

  • Pittsburgh, without gay ben, beat Baltimore. Why are you homos calling the Stoolers QB "Big" are you queer? It looks that way when you type that.

    Agreed. I can't stand it when Browns fans call him Big Ben. That's for yellow towel mouth breathers. Consentlessberger does just fine

  • The whole point of my mindset, though is that I want to see the Browns win above all else. If he can somehow win out with the remaining schedule, he makes a strong case for his return. If he can't beat Pittsburgh or Denver, then fine, let's move on. And for those who would compare it to Mangini's finish that netted him an extra, arguably wasted year; his team was only 5-11, this team would be 8-8. I just want to see this team win, and I don't want to have to wait for next year anymore.

    btw, anyone else catch pacquiao marquez 4? best fight i've ever seen, hands down.

  • as you state. "we could be 8-4" well we are 4-8. THat right there should be enough reason to get rid of him

  • I'm just a ball of emotion right now.

  • Shurmurs playcalling has been very good today.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • The next three weeks are going to determine if Shurmer keeps his job or not. I'll give Shurmer credit: The past two weeks the play calling has been 100x better and we're scoring points. But you can't argue that this year it's pretty easy to look good against the Chiefs and Raiders. Also, although he's looked good recently he's also the reason we've lost at least 3-4 games. Imagine if we take say that Colts game, with the steelers soon to be loss today we're one game out of the playoffs. A win over the fat bastard Crennel doesn't make me think he's coach of the year material.

    He has three games to prove if he can keep up with the big boys. If he goes 2-1 or 3-0, I'll do a 180 and say he should keep his job.

  • I hope Jimmy has put the fear in him so that he'll play aggressive. He had some really interesting plays today.

    Edit - interesting in a good way. Finally.

    I agree. I think he realizes that his job is on the line and is going balls to the walls with plays. Hope he keeps it up.
