Coach Chud Fired
-
The only thing that could possibly lead to that would be some sort of problem between the FO and Chud. The FO's inability to provide players had more to do with this season's failures than the Head Coach. If the FO has their sights set on hiring a specific coach may be available this off season, then I could see them doing something like that.

Agree... there's more here than we know. Maybe Grossi sheds some light tomorrow AM...
Uncertainty over Chudzinski angers players
December, 29, 2013By Pat McManamon | ESPN.comThe feelings of the players were evident, though.
“That’s ridiculous,” linebacker D'Qwell Jackson said.
“I’d be very surprised if they make a change,” tackle Joe Thomas said. “And disappointed.”
“I like coach Chud a lot,” said tight end Jordan Cameron. “He’s a great coach and he did a great job, and it’s his first year. I like the way he is. He’s a competitor and he’s a grinder.”
Cameron later added: “Guys deserve a chance to turn a program around and get things going, so (the possibility) is kind of shocking. I’m all for Chud and what he does, and support him 100 percent.”
Safety T.J. Ward, who could be a free agent, said the team believed in Chudzinski through the entire season.
“If we didn’t believe in him we wouldn’t have played for him,” Ward said. “You’d see a lot of rebelling and a lot of guys doing their own thing, and I don’t think that happened at all this year. It just didn’t happen the way we wanted it. When you have guys playing until the end of the season when there’s nothing to play for, you know you’ve got a good coach.”
“To start over again, it would be devastating, I think,” Thomas said.
Sure doesn't sound like a team that quit on Chud...
I guess this shows Jimmy is serious about winning, and losing will not be tolerated by anyone. I hope the FO, and players are watching.
Guess again...
We appreciate Chud’s passion for the Browns, and we have great respect for him both personally and professionally,” the team said in a statement. “We needed to see progress with this football team. We needed to see development and improvement as the season evolved and, unfortunately, we took a concerning step backward in the second half of the year. Our fans deserve to see a consistently competitive team. We have high standards, and there’s an urgency for success. When we believed we were not positioned to achieve significant progress in 2014, we knew we had to admit that a change was needed, and move forward. Browns fans are the most loyal and passionate supporters in the NFL. We’re fully committed to bringing them the winning football team they deserve.”
Sounds like BS to me, but what really scares me is the "urgency for success". Seems 180 deg off of the pre-season party line... reeks of panic... or resentment.
It's dumbass knee jerk decision.
Good summary...

It's about all of our top players, including Ward. When the leaders of your team come out and back the HC, then you go ahead and fire him anyhow, that is a shitty thing to do to those players. Look at a guy like Thomas, who took a big contract extension to stay with us, because he believed the team was heading in the right direction. What kind of message does this send when the best players you have are against the firing of the HC but they just go ahead and do it anyhow. If I were those players, I would be demanding a trade.
you are putting way too much on the emotional side of the game. the players get paid, nicely correct? are they are just going to leave because a coach they liked got fired? GTFO! really.
hate to burst your bubble but you do know keanu reeves is gay correct? well maybe you do know and are a fudge packer yourself.

I totally disagree with your drunken rant...Expect Ward,mack and DQJ to be gone next year...oh and guess what...we'll be 2-14 next year and fire the next coach we hire..mark it down...

who is gonna come after seeing a firing like this?
^+1
Maybe I am in the minority but I am tired of shuffling coaches and systems here. I believe I saw enough flashes of good football to stick with it. With 7 top tier draft picks and plenty to spend on FA's we should have stuck it out. This kind of knee jerk shit has me honestly wondering if keeping my season tickets is worth it and that's saying something as I waited a long time to get them. Someone should post a poll on the firing. I would love to see what the majority think.
^+1
Why the fuck would Lovie Smith or any coach with any kind of name for himself want to coach under lombardi and banner? There are plenty of other vacancies. This team is fucking dysfunctional. JH3 is a fucking asshole and Banner is an asshole too. If we end up with McDaniels or O'Brien, I'm not even going to bother watching football next year. We're in the same exact position we were in when Holmgren was boss.
Another coaching churn, just what the doctor ordered.
Kick Banner and Lombardi out the door while he's at it...They chose the guy...or got stuck with the guy after everybody else thumbed their noses at this joke of an organization
"We're in it for the long haul" I don't believe a damn thing you say anymore Banner- I always thought you looked like a weasel- and you just just proved it. JH- go shove that new jumbotron up your ass sideways- you've just outdone Jerry Jones.
It's dumbass knee jerk decision. I blame that eggsucking weasel lombardi. I didn't like him
before, didn't like the hire.
Sounds to me, that Lombardi was brought in to lower the bottom line for Haslam. I told Canton Mike
Lombardi would be trouble.
Lombardi had alienated players in the past. If I was a fa with the Browns, I'd walk to another team, that's
what I would do. Apparently, he alienated Chud and Chud told him to shove it.
Maybe Haslam is a crook after all, and has money problems. There has to be some kind of dramatic explanation
for this debacle. Continuity????
There is no light at either end of the tunnel for us right now. It is a dark day in Browns Country right now. Especially when the best players like Thomas, Ward, and Jackson were backing Chud. And I just saw an acticle on Ward saying that Chud's future whould help make his decision come FA time.
The only light at the end of the tunnel is yet another train ready to run us over- this time I'm getting out of the way first.
hes not even top ten take the goggles off dude
Pro bowl Alternate says otherwise dipwad
show me where he is top ten I cant find it and I looked up the top ten. He was not on the list sorry but it's your opinion and not fact.
See above.
This is ridiculous, you want instant results Jimmy? I suggest you show Lombardi and Banner the door while you're at it. Thanks for blowing the 2013 draft. Sure, we can win with a third string qb, and a street FA RB. You can bet Thomas and all the other long term players are tired of this shit- and finally, so am i.

I don't think it's stupid at all. I think anybody with the moxie and strength to be a head coach is going to be possessed of enough self confidence as to not think there's a chance he could fall on his ass. I'd think anybody worth a shit would believe rightly or wrongly that he's the man to turn the team around.
I mean I don't want some pussy wringing his hands and worrying oh me oh my I'm not sure I could go 5&11 next year.....

That's why the need a proven NFL head coach. Someone like that won't worry about getting fired. Some assistant or college coach might worry about that
But therein lies the rub. If he's proven why is he out of a job?That's why the need a proven NFL head coach. Someone like that won't worry about getting fired. Some assistant or college coach might worry about that
One reason for hesitation I could accept might be that if a candidate has other options he might choose one in which he has more control and does not to answer to people like Banner and Lombardi.

I don't remember Chud being the 5th pick. I remember Kelly and doug morrone.
Banner and jimmy told us "he was our guy." "We are going to be patient and build for the long haul." One year? They know better than release Lombardi to the Cleveland media. Whether Chud is fired or not they owe us a fucking explanation on what they saw in chud and why they hired him in the first place. We were told it was a collective decision. Well collectively they were apparently all friggin wrong.
"Chudzinski grew up in Toledo, Ohio, where he pulled for the Browns. Chudzinski interviewed with the team on Wednesday, and was viewed by many to be a longshot for the job.
However, he wowed Haslam and CEO Joe Banner during his meeting, and the team decided to give him the job after interviewing at least eight other candidates."
http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=8833956&src=desktop
One of which was only to satisfy the Rooney Rule, so I really only count seven of them.
sorry i dont see where they settled. like i said they interviewed their guys and chud was hired within a couple days. if they waited a month and alot of headcoaches were hired before hand i would agree they settled."Chudzinski grew up in Toledo, Ohio, where he pulled for the Browns.

regardless at this point and like its being reported is what its showing the league and the rest of the HC candidates is the instability of the browns organization at the top. now we have free agents that will need overpaid to stay because they dont trust the FO

Fuck yeah! I'd definitely show Lombardi the door! He is a fuckin' snake! Starting to really dislike Banner as well!

Very very disappointed to wake up to this news; Hootie The Owl (Banner) and Jimmy better be right on this is all I can ask / hope for....sigh it is so difficult at times to be a fan of this team and supporter of our city

Haslam is about money. The only way to keep this shitty team relevant and in the news is through shit like this. Obviously they can't be relevant any other way because the team sucks.
Fuck the entire fo and haslam too. Just tired of this shit.

I'm not 100% sure but I think he has done 1 presser with Jimmy and Joe at his side.Has anyone even heard Lombardi speak?

Haslam just gave Chud 10 mill to leave....hardly about money. I've read it was because LomBandi wanted Chud to shake up the locker room by cutting Little or Luavou and he wouldn't do it....well that and the total fucking collapse.Haslam is about money.
