What 'type' Of Coach Do You Want?

The Browns Board
29 22 1.4k
  • Offensive minded, smart, innovative and ultra aggressive with the genuine ability to evaluate and utilize every scrap of talent at his fingertips..

    I am sick of the below average dunces that this club has brought in and called coaches over the years but that is what we are now destined to get again..

  • The bottom line is I want a head coach that let's the players play and actually works his coaching scheme around the talent. I don't care if that's Kelly, Whisenhunt, or anyone else. It's plain to see if a coach comes in and tries to a run a system not suited for the players, they will fail.

    Edit: Furthermore, I also want a coach who has an identity out there. Ideally it would be a more offensive guy but just something where the guys buy into the philosophy of team.

  • I want an expert offensive guy, who knows how to use the talent he has to build a winner without some vague 5 year plan.

    The talent the Browns have now, you could win right away, have a great draft, and be a playoff caliber team next year after the first.

    Yes, INNOVATOR. That takes a bit of guts, to create something.

    Shurmur just had a system that didn't fit his players, then turned around and threw his players under the bus,

    saying they have to play better.

    Seriously? You can't get the plays in on time? You keep calling the predictable run on first down most of the time?

    You keep calling a short pass route that is a few yards short of a first down?

    I want an aggressive coach, who doesn't play the conservative, hope not to lose football.

    That, imho, is the quickest way to UNinspire your players. A bit of a river boat gambler like Sam Rutigliano, an expert COACH

    like Sam, Blanton Collier and Paul Brown, and a coach who has rules for EVERY player, the entire team like a Vince Lombardi,

    and a coach who knows why offenses have offensive lines, unpredictable and aggressive play calling...

    is that too much to ask, just once?

    eh... could be. I hear Kelly isn't coming to the Browns. Well, if he has kids....the Cleveland schools have a nationally bad rep, you know.

  • I love defense. If you can stop the other team, then you have a better chance at winning. That being said, the NFL right now is geared toward offenses. Also, we just sat through two years of shit terrible offense, so that also makes me want an offensive guy more.

  • An offensive minded coach how changed his system to fit his current players strengths. Not someone who comes in and says they are running this and gutting the roster cause the pieces are not perfect fits.

    Either that or a defensive minded coach, aka Lovie Smith, who can put together a fantastic defensive unit and run them to perfection. The hiring of a good offensive mind would be necessary though.

  • I lean to the D-guru side here for a couple reasons ...

    - Fits with the image of the Browns and the city.

    - In addition to devising D game plans tailored to stop the variety of NFL offenses, real D-side geniuses can dissect the D they are facing that week.

  • a players coach, a guy who actually played.... Lovie Smith or Ken Whisenhunt . Stay away from promoting coordinators (except if Arians- hes got rep)

    Kelly? glad hes out! stay put in Oregon for all I care....

    Keep Jauron for continuity on defense, if possible....

    O coodinator? dont know...

  • Now that this Kelly fiasco is over I hope they just take their time and make sure they explore every option.

    I don't have a preference over offense or defensive minded.

    Lovie Smith,Mike Zimmer,Rick Dennison are guys they should take a look at.

  • I think we need a guy who excites the young players and somebody they believe in. A great motivator is key IMO. We need the "guru-type" guys coordinating O and D but a leader is what we need most of all as a HC

  • i want an in your face guy like harbaugh.

    i'm a believer in defense winning championships so i lean towards a D guy.

    either way haslam has said who ever he taps will be around for a long time so this decision is HUGE!!

  • The problem I have with Defensive coaches is theyre usually conservative as hell on offense. I want a guy who isn't afraid to go for it on 4th downs, rather then punting or kicking a FG. If we are up by 14, don't try to run the clock, go for the kill shot.

  • Good posts-I simply want an aggressive offense and defense.

    I will add that our new coach needs to put an emphasis on winning our divisional match ups. We've been beat down so many years, it's time to turn it around.

  • AGGRESSIVE!!!

    The Browns image has always been offense until Marty, Marty balled us into oblivion.

    you're right BUT it doesn't have to be that way. i see a HC as more a manager of coaches. let the OC do his thing. let the DC do his thing etc. sure he has the right to override and make final decisions but hopefully the person we bring in is flexible in his style.

    but yes aggressive all the way.

  • Offensive minded.

    I hope Jauron stays on as our DC. I think are defense is a pass rusher and CB away from being elite.

    Whisenhut is a offensive coach but his inability to develop any of the three different QBs that started for him is cause for concern. Arizona does have a horrible OL which can destroy even the best of QBs (not saying that Arizona's QBs are good).

    I do believe that Kyle Shannahan deserves a look. Look at his ability to instantly change his offensive gameplan when he has to replace RG3 with Kirk Cousins. Alfred Morris is of similiar build to T-Rich. Garcon is big like Little and Moss is the speedster like Gordon.

    WHy not get a chick to coach the Browns?

    Agreed. You're my top choice.

  • or maybe get that hermaphrodite griner from the baylor women's basketball team to play WR. what's she/he like 7' tall. hell she/he can take a hit, just don't go low and hit her in her dick.

    Why not let the "fan of the week" coach the team? Instead of pizzas for section 524 Row 15, let one of the fans call the plays? Wouldn't be any worse than Shur-loss.

    you'll probably lose that promotion next year but gain the free slurrpy with a fill-up at one of jimmy haslam's truck stops.

    yum.
