    I want a coach with a dominant personality that has passion and exudes machismo.

    A guy that will mold the team in their image, someone that isn't afraid to go off script and give an answer that isn't cookie cutter and "nfl pc".

    sounds like your on board with some Gruden.

  • I was hoping they'd hire Lovie last year. The Browns really need to hire a coach with positive NFL experience. To me, that means Lovie Smith (or Shanahan if he is fired).

  • During Smith's tenure in Chicago he never fielded an Offense that ranked higher than 23.

    He also only had one season worse than 7-9. In the past decade, the Browns only have one season equal or better than 7-9. He's as safe a bet as any I think.

  • and yet they managed to make the Super Bowl and won a boat load of games.

  • I'm worried that Gruden has been away far too long. He seems fat and happy to be on TV. Lovie has only been away one year, which should be just long enough to recharge his batteries and come out swinging. Lovie has done it in the NFL, and consistently. His teams were always well prepared, competitive and he won far more than he lost...........When was the last time Cleveland could say that?

  • like lovie smith. no problem here.

    i say rehire mangini and rob ryan.

    Exactly............................Damn I'm getting old

  • my only gripe with hiring lovie is that he may not agree with how horton runs the D. I do like Hortons style. I think lovie used to run a 4-3 so it may fit...

    also wasn't norv here because chud hired and worked with his son...

    Shit maybe norv will be the HC.

  • Lovie hasn't been rumored for anything so far as we head into the offseason but then again Chud wasn't really being considered for much going into last off season either.

    Can't argue with that, I just don't think it's likely to happen, To me Smith is an 80-2010 era Coach and the game has headed in a different direction.

    That old school coach did pretty well last year at 10-6.

    why is there a guy named hatie out there? 😎

  • Lovie Smith blowes...NO!

    Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~

  • Why would a coach the caliber of Lovie Smith want to come here and be a fucking sock puppet with Banner and Lombardi's hands so far up his ass?

    He fucking wouldn't.

    We're in the same situation we were with that fat fucking walrus in charge. We're getting a Shurmur quality coach. Fuck this front office. I refuse to support this team in any way if McDaniels is the next hire.

    because he'll get paid that's why.

    bad mood tonite ha nick?

    what you actually liked the 2013 version of the cleveland browns.

    i had vented my disdain for chud on many threads but really didn't think it's be fair to fire someone after one year.

    but hey, that's life. and for you to say haslam sucks is crazy. he hired a guy and expected him to meet certain criteria, mainly win more games. that didn't happen.

    bye bye.
