Around the league, the Browns hc job is now "radioactive"
-
Sure, Manning will want to live in Cleveland after he retire-s,when he can sit on the beach in Tahiti drinking Pina Coladas, or get on any one of the network pregame shows- he's very well spoken. It's a nice dream Gip, I hope it happens, but probably not.
And this begs the question...do we do the unthinkable and root for Broncos to win the SB?

Manning is not Donkey Teeth who cost the Browns three trips to the Big Dance. That was 20+ years ago, though as one poster has in his tag line- Karliss missed- and I believe that to be true.
Hard to say if Manning would retire, or come back for another year should the Donkeys lose the SB- they have to get there first, which isn't a given.

The Berea triumvirate has had over two weeks to come up with the coach that saved Cleveland with seemingly little notable progress. They've had their share of potential come in
for a visit but find out in the end the prospect was there to touch up on his interview skills for a job with a bona fide NFL franchise. Oh, wait, the Browns are waiting for the
playoffs and Super Bowl to be completed so they can bring in the NFL rock star coaches. that's gotta be it. Sadly, we the fans will settle for another schlep who can dazzle
them in the interview with his understanding of the game and what it take to win but hasn't a clue on how to be a leader of men and a motivator.......getiing the maximum from
every player, on every play, in every fuckin game.
Bring in the sweater dude and forget about these young NFL wannabe coaches who think they can bring the glory back to Cleveland. Tressel knows what the Browns mean to
northwestern Ohio unlike the list of carpetbaggin motherfuckers who have been coming in for the big payday only to leave the team no better off that it has been the last 15 years.
Can he motivate and coach professionals? That's the million dollar question. He certainly has had success in the amateur ranks. His fatal flaw was merely trying to protect his
players from prying eyes.
The talent pool he had to work with at Ohio State is what made him look good. When it came to big championship games more often than not he did not have his teams ready. His offense is also way to fucking conservative. I might actually throw up in my mouth a little if they bring him in. I would vastly prefer Melzahn or even Gase.

Obvious the Stooges want a young and upcoming coach- though I'm not nearly as hard on Tressell as you are. Jim is on the high side of 60, so he's not in the Browns plans.

forgot all about this band. isn't that paul rogers vocal who played with bad company and was frontin queen for awhile?
i'd take the sweatervest over any candidates that are left to be interviewed.
sure he was conservative with his team. hell he only had one playmaker on the offensive side of the ball in clarrett. things change, people change.
you never know he could be the next jim harbaugh or pete carroll.

Saw this "radioactive" post a few days ago. What does it say that 4 of the 6 guys interviewed have turned down the job? Said, "thanks, but no thanks." No one worth anything wants to work under this FO. Fuck it. Do we need a coach? Just let Banner and Lombardi call plays down themselves. They're obviously fucking geniuses so why not. Kelly played them like a fiddle last year and they ended up with their 6th choice just to fill the seat while they prepared a massive roster overhaul. Shitcanned that guy and now they are going to end up with a no-name 5th choice again because no one wants to work under them. Clusterfuck. Browns are the new Raiders, get used to it.

LOL... this immediately came to mind...
Mike Lombardi: If you don't mind, I took the liberty.
Mike Lombardi : I drew up about seven or eight plays. I figure that's about all this bunch can handle.
Jimmy Haslam: Oh, these are good. These are very good. Uh, what are these little arrows?

Yup... Paul Rogers it be...

On Tressel... not over any candidate left, but we could easily do worse.

Yep, and a relatively unknown guitarist who goes by the name of Jimmy Page.
Sorry, no relevant comments about the Browns. This is about as low as I've been
on the team since Modell moved to Baltiwhore. I have absolutely nothing good to
say about the team or FO. 2014 has been flushed down the crapper and I honestly
don't see anything to be hopeful about for the near future.

Nearly 30. And horse face is still part of Denver, as an exec.
I was joking, and that was my point in rooting for Denver to make a run and win the SB. Then Manning would more likely retire and come work in Cleveland. (If they lose I think he'll stay and give it another shot.)
As much as I don't like Broncos or 49ers, I'd be happy for Manning or Phil Dawson should one win the SB.

Fuck Denver...
Fuck Manning... both of 'em...
And fuck Phil..
That about does it...

After Gase says "NO" (and honestly, other than the most homer-goggle wearing people on this board, does anyone
here REALLY think he will take the job? ), won't it be a lot easier for Haslam to simply hold a Broadway style open-casting
call? "Anyone who wants the fuckin' job, just give us a call." Sort of an open mike night for would-be coaches.

Something else about The Firm (side note: went to see them at the Coliseum, 3 things: Drunk, Fight, didn't leave with the girl I took)
The Firm existed from 1984 to 1986. The Browns were 5-11 in 84, Marty took over, 12-4 in 86.

there you go.
nice story (i guess...?).

Actually an incoming coach now has the upperhand. Unless he goes 0-16, he won't get fired. He knows the Browns FO wouldn't get anyone to stick after the 2014 season. And Haslam knows it too. Haslam's apolgetic letter wasn't to the fans, as much as it was a subtle message to prospective coaches. Look for the Browns next coach to stick for a few years no matter what.
And because of what I stated above, look for the other 2 stooges to stick as well. Haslam is getting a bad reputation as an employer with high turnover and he knows it (NOW).
Haslam isn't stupid, he has to at least partially see his two stooges as obstacles at this point.
