Pettine The Right Coach For The Browns

The Browns Board
41 22 2.1k
  • The Browns have perpetually been in transition since 99. I liked Pettine's attitude at the start saying they were not rebuilding this year and we had enough quality players to compete in the NFL. The Browns did compete this year and in a rarity were still in the playoff picture in December. Pettine comes from a very good defensive background with the Ravens, Jets and the Bills. The Browns took a lot of time in hiring Pettine and I think they did their homework when they chose him. He brings some much needed stability to this club. I for one am getting tired of blowing everything up every few years and starting over. Since 99 we have averaged a new head coach about every two years. The Browns needed someone that can bring a no nonsense, no excuse, winning mentality. Mike Pettine is a hard nosed ,no nonsense type of coach that can relate to his players. This is exactly the type of coach the Browns needed. We now have some good chess pieces in place and I hope we give this some time to bear fruit. Things are looking up in Cleveland...finally.

  • I think Pettine has done a good job. But remember, no one else wanted to come coach here either.

  • They did get turned down by some of the coaches they were looking at probably because the Browns organization was toxic due to their reputation of instability and constant firing of head coaches. That is why I am glad they found this gem in Pettine. ^^

    Fetching coffee for Rex is not a very good defensive background.

  • The QB situation being bungled from the get-go, too many penalties, terrible clock management and questionable effort from the team in big games are all reasos for me to wonder if Pettine is the coach of the future. He does well in press conferences though.

    Handling of the QB situation is only significant downgrade I saw, but even in that area there were good moments.

    Penalties? D is tied for 4th with 85. O is tied for 21st with 103.

    Clock management? Some questionable moments to be sure.

    Questionable effort? See below....

    @bbedward said:

    Idk if I'd put the questionable effort all on him.

    Hard for me to put any upon him. Teams inexplicably "go flat" every week at every level of the game right under a coaching staff's nose.

    I think that more often it is on the roster's team leaders for not raising the issue than it is the staff for not sensing it. The team can sense a "hollowness" in the prep that the staff cannot see in a normal week... let alone one where the "excitement" of a change to a "rookie QB stud" is occurring.

    Moronic, simply moronic...

  • I wouldn't question the effort either....

    Last year, my memory had this team leading a lot of games and then losing at the end....

    THIS YEAR, I saw this team start a lot of games slow, then come back and fight till the end.....

    In fact....most would consider us a second half team....so, wouldn't a second half team be indicative of good half time adjustments and a team that doesn't quit?.....and didn't THAT aspect of our team improve this year?

    I think so....

  • I'm not sold on Shannahan, but pleased as punch with Farmer, Pettine, and O'Neil.

    I don't wanna see any of them go, including Shanny. I get so tired of the carousel.

    Oh please....I'm more on topic, more respectful and less vulgar than many of the posters here. If I got banned it would be simply to shoot down any opposing and unpopular viewpoints....which is fine and all, but I don't think that's the point of a discussion forum.

    You may be less vulgar but you are completely full of bovine feces. Your posts all carry a tone of you having inside knowledge and we know truth is you have no knowledge. Per one of your other posts if you are truly 73 you are the oldest punk on the earth. As far as "on topic" you have basically just posted 200 versions of how Johnny can suck and still start all of next year.
  • He's sure better than anyone else we've had in the last ten years. He needs all of next year before we can really form an opinion. So far he's pretty good with what he's got to work with.
