  • Having the lead or tied at halftime in 10 of 16 games and only winning 4 is reason enough to be fired.

    Agreed. When you add up the 2nd half failures, game day decision failures and QB decision failures (if in fact Chud was responsible for not seeing Hoyer's talents) it makes sense that he's gone.

    I gotta say, I'm probably more 'excited' about our future this morning, than I would've been with Chud still the coach. That's not to say I wanted to see us fire the HC after just one season, but I'm excited to see where we are going to head now.

  • It is to be seen if this will be a good move or a bad move but you have to admire them for having the balls to admit they made a mistake and to correct it knowing you're going to take flack over doing so. Now is the time we need to cash in on these bold moves (Trent trade, Chud firing) let's hope we get it right this time!

    The fuckers didn't even put a name on the press release they put out last night ... just "we" ... Haslem? Banner? No one wants to take "credit" for it"?

    .

    He got 4,000 yards out of the passing offense and allowed Josh Gordon to become a star despite playing the entire season with retread QBs no one has wanted or will want, and virtually no run game to support the offense.

    You didn't give the guy a chance. sure, maybe the next coach does great and you'll all look like geniuses, but you are still dicks for hiring and firing this guy and wasting a year of everybody's life.

    The reason, or at least one reason, that Chip Kelly didn't come here was because he supposedly didn't want to be under joe banners thumb. So take that for what it's worth I was told that by somebody who should have a good understanding. At any rate No, Chud did not get a fair chance. On the other hand if one of the reasons is that he went to the wall for some players who let him down oh well. Maybe if Jackson and little are so flabbergasted they could have played a little better in the last 4 games and maybe there pal would still be here. Unfortunately the team collapsed in the 4th quarter of the games and of the season.

    Smart man, that Kelly-guy... Was mentioned during last nite's game that one of the reasons he rang back up the Eagles after "choosing to return to Oregon" last year was the stability of their organization.

    Wonder what happened in the coordinator meeting earlier.

    Word on ESPN is that all the rest of the staff has been told to sit tight.

    Chud gave the starting job to Weeden over Hoyer to begin the season at the behest of Mike Lombardi. Weeden lost two games, and Hoyer comes in and suddenly wins three games. That stroked Lombardi's ego and was the move that began digging Chud's grave.

    Lombardi is on record calling Weeden a "panicked disaster" as well as claiming Hoyer to be a starting caliber QB, yet Chud still started Weeden over Hoyer.

    It's not a mystery why he was fired.

    ...but what you are saying is a mystery.

    "At the behest of" means "per the request of" or "as ordered by". So if Banner ordered Chud to start Weeden (as you say in your opening), then why was that an issue? And once Hoyer was installed as the starter, there was never a game when Chud started Wheezy over Hoyer.

  • Chud was garbage. Bottom line. Yea this may be unfair for the home town turd. But who cares. It's sad when shurmur may have been a better coach. Haslem said in July the last three games had to be better than the first three and they weren't. Hell that may have been the worst ending to a season ive ever seen. See ya chud. Your a nice guy. Your a nice guy. But that don't fucking cut it in the big leagues. Get the fuck out and drop ur clip board at the door.

  • It's the FO fault - they hired him in January of 2013 and fired him in 2013. You can say Chud sucks all you want, comes back to the FACT it was a bad hire by this enept front office and Haslem if he sucks so badly.

    You too blind to see that? Or just too stupid?

    Just another move by the Factory of Sadness to ensure it continues to put out its losing product for years to come.

  • It's like a divorce, while it's horribly tough, it's better for everyone to do it quickly so everyone can move on and improve their lives. Yes the FO hired him and fired him quickly, but at least they didn't drag out their mistake for several seasons.

    No.

    That's the point - just because he's fired doesn't gurantee better results with soemone else. So you assume this FO will bring in someone better? Because why, their illustrious track record of doing so? Or more blind faith that hasnt worked with this organization in over 20 years..

  • I agree with Cbus Brownie. It was a bad hire to begin with. It was a bad hire and a bad plan. He wasn't qualified and he didn't know what he was doing. Could he have done something good if he'd been given enough time? I think the only thing we can fairly say is that we don't know. But it seems obviously now that the FO was not willing to give him that time. That being the case, they should have never hired him in the first place.

    4-12 is 4-12...period. That is Chud's record. Hopefully the next coach will do better. Hopefully they hire the next Lombardi. Hopefully they'll draft the next Tom Brady. We'll see. I'm not jumping off a bridge while slitting my wrists like you seem to be,

    Lol, hopefully. I've hoped for alot of things from this team over the last 20 years. Here we are.

  • Again, I agree with Cbus Brownie. This is the same thing I said about the Richardson trade. People are too optimistic that "new and unknown" will mean "better". If an organization doesn't have a track record of making good decisions, what in the world gives you confidence that future decisions will be good? Could they be? Sure. But I don't know that we can ever call an undefined chance at a future player or coach definitively "better" than a current or past one until we see who that future acquisition is.

  • He garbage. People can polish a turd all they want

    My best friend got married a few years out of high school to a girl who he knew for less than a year. They were divorced less then 2 years later. That was in 1990. He has now been married to his 2nd wife for 20 years and has 2 grown kids. It can happen. You're a Browns fan.............What else do you have but hope?

  • How about some accountability from the Front office and Haslem? As a fanbase, we deserve it.

    You pick a head coach and fire him 12 months later for sucking, that's YOUR bad. Not his.

    In their presser they quoted "the fans deserve to win now". Kind of ironical, isn't it?

    In my opinion, this upcoming HC hire and draft will determine the path of our team for the next decade. We will continue to be the worst franchise in the NFL or we will be brought back to our rightful glory with annual playoff/AFC Championship contending teams. I see no in between.

  • Jimmy was asked from a reporter. "Jimmy can you assure the fans that you don't have the 3 stooges running this organization"..........LMAO

  • Personally worst coaching I've ever seen.

    True, but....Let's make it a little more analogous to our situation.

    What if your buddy had been married 10 times since 1990? The same number of HC the Browns have had in that time frame, including 96-98, none lasting for more than 4 years, most gone in 2-3.

    Are you confident the soon to be 11th will be the one?

    I loved hearing that! Good! I'm glad the media is holding his feet to the fire! They as well as the fans should!
