Yes it's stupid. And why does the media feel the need to keep taking shots at the Browns? Because that's all this article is trying to do.

what I don't know is...was Pettine going to be off the table if they waited till after the SB to hire a HC?
The story is that Pettine gave them an ultimatum saying hire me now or I'm staying in Buffalo.

Interesting... and I like the attitude...

^+1. Exactly. Pettine essentially told them, you have 48 hours to give me a yes\no, or I have to stay with the Bills, I owe that much too them. If Pettine was out of the picture and Quinn had said no, the Browns were FUBAR.
Quinn was only the DC for one season, just like Gase in Denver. His resume is really not that impressive. He took the 2012 #4 ranked defense (coached for the previous 4 years by Gus Bradley) and like everybody said "played base defense' and won games b/c he had the better players on the field. He didn't "out coach" or "out game-plan" anybody, he just lined up his guys and said "you can't beat us." That probably won't work in Cleveland...
If you were listening to some of the post SB analysis, Seattle runs a very vanilla D- with almost no tricks. Their thinking is "we have superior talent at every position, here we are- try and beat us".

Here's an article, via a link from nfl.com, about Pettine backing out if Browns FO didn't make a decision quickly:

And I agree, the fact that this guy wanted the job "badly", and wants to get the Browns toughened up...is exciting to say the least. Love the new attitude as reflected on that billboard pic.

Of course so did Chud, Brady Quinn, Charlie Frye and Tim Couch. And I like all 4 of them. Just saying.

Of course he has to have the skills to back that up...that's TBD...but it still needs to start with the fire and desire first.
And the difference to me between the guys you mentioned and Pettine, is the attitude.
They were: "Yay, I'm a Cleveland Brown, bring out the sunshine and rainbows."
versus
Pettine: "AFC North fb must be tough, with a damn strong defense. Now let's kill those black and gold motherfuckers."
Nice to have staff & players who love the Browns as much as we do, but I'll take the second choice just the same.

LOL... Damn, Z... you have to be the most resilient motherfucker I have ever "met"...
Here's the thing about Pettine's "ultimatim"... our FO's response to it of hiring him so flies in the face of all the "yes-man" speculation associated with the HC search, that I do not know what to believe anymore.
Like I more or less said in a post yesterday...
I have a feeling it's going to end up being really hard to hate this FO and ownership...
... but I think I can be OK with that.
