  • Glad to see im not alone in my rather harsh but honest "early assessment" of coach Pettine..

    Hopefully he will eventually get it but i really would not count on it..

    Possibly the worst coach the browns have ever hired..

  • Who gives a shit what they think? The guy hasn't even coached a single regular season game.

    He has also had to deal with the JM circus, Gordon suspension, and a fan base that is desperate for a winning but will turn on you in an instant. Not to mention he has a boss that's showed he has no issue firing people after a year.

    I'm sure he's stressed as all hell. So why don't we wait to see how regular season goes before we get the pitchforks?

  • Espn sucks ass. I'm surprised they even thought to rank any of the coaches outside of the NY/boston area. They can eat my shit.

  • That bottom tier is stacked with first year coaches. Jason Garrett (who is severely hamstrung by "coach" Jerrah) is one of the few down there who has more that one season.

  • We've gone from ripping QBs for their preseason performance while recovering from an ACL to bashing coaches who have not coached a football game yet.

    Seriously ... Can he coach a quarter before we call for his head?

    Gips, why don't you just buy a pistol and put it in your mouth? You are the most negative piece of shit I have ever heard.

    My "early assessment" of you is that you are a jerkoff.

    How can you assess a coach who hasn't been the head coach in a single regular season game yet?

  • I refuse to believe the sentence "Possibly the worst coach the browns have ever hired" is anything but an attempt at trolling.

    This guy as with any of the garbage choices this regime has pursued thusfar will be an absolute fail hire and uncapable of winning as a head coach we will be stuck with this horrid regimes choice for a long time to cover it up..""""""

    Yeah. except your "early assessment" was already made in january ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ BEFORE Pettine was even hired. You're just a worthless whiny bitch. Go back to Pittspuke you loser!

  • just STFU already about " rather harsh and early assessments" regarding coach Pettine

    worst coach? really?!!

    reading garbage like espn link is no different than listening to fanboy shit - just wont do it.

  • Tom Landry 0-11-1 in his first season......considered one of the worst coaches in the league

    Chuck Noll 1-13 in his first season....considered one of the worst coaches in the league

    Bill Walsh 1-15 in his first season....considered one of the worst coaches in the league

    Jimmy Johnson 1-15 his first season....considered one of the worst coaches in the league.

    At least Pettine has company.

  • The cowards at espn will refuse to stick their neck out about the Browns

    until they start winning.

    That isn't on Pettine, anything else is complete BS.

  • Nowhere to go but up

    Interesting bit to me was how fast the totals fall after Sean Peyton. Apparently there are fewer elite coaches than there are elite QBs.

  • Read quite a few post on here re Browns bush league performance last sat night. yep, the coach has to take the sword for that sordid fiascal. if espn based their rankin on ps week 3

    performances then petine surely qualifies for the 31 slot. Not fair to rate until regular season? yea, I can go for that but again I saw nothing besides some stellar individual defensive

    perfomances that gave me any hope for a week 1 to week 16 competitive team. ......soooo look for petine to wallow in the league coaching suckage

    also interesting how almost all of the "elite" coaches also happened to have elite personal and elite QB'S and elite GM's.....

    IMO, it takes a great GM and great players to build a great coach....it seems like all the great coaches LOST when they had crap teams, but WON when they had good teams....so is it the coach or the players that makes a great team....???

    An example......when Green Bay won the SuperBowl ...."suddenly" Ron Wolf was the best GM out there, Holmgren became the best coach/president/gm out there and Favre was the best QB.....and ALL have been mentioned as THE reason GB won....could it just be they had the best team???

    I understand that. And there have been bad coaches who didn't win with talent too....

    My point is that, HISTORICALLY, coaches(and QB's, ftm) who win SuperBowls are often elevated to GREAT......while they were considered fairly average prior to winning it all.....

  • could be he's holding a lot of what they're going to do in the regular season close to his vest.

    i KNOW this team is not as bad as what we've seen in preseason. i know it.

    he's had a lot to decipher in TC in a short amount of time and if nothing else this preseason was just an extension of that and is sifting through talent and situations to decide who stays and who goes.

    who really knows what is going on inside the browns facility? the guy might be the best coach ever and this was all a plan to throw off our comp and to leave them guessing until the browns open up the bomb bay doors over pittsburgh.

    if not, go to the bank and invest in some drink ware cuz there's always plenty of booze available down at your local sack and sip. 15 years of sluggin down beers and cocktails on sundays (and whenever else a cleveland team loses) and the liver's still going strong.
