I LOVE Pettine being the head coach of the Browns

I'm allowed to be immature, I'm retired. And it was expressive, creative, and
somewhat accurate, and got a childish response from you, Go figure, eh?
And the Brownsboard World Turns....

Most interesting thing in there is Pettine's philosophy on building a team. Seems he does not feel free agency is the way to go unless everything is just right:
"I think if you look at the history of the league and if you look at the dollars that are spent in free agency, I think a lot of time teams -- when you're essentially paying retail, you're day one spending a lot of money on guys -- that's difficult to build a team that way. I know, you look at the amount of space that we have, but I think the key thing here is the teams that are most successful in this league grow their own. That they draft guys, they bring them in -- you reward your own guys with second contracts. That's how you build chemistry. That's how you build cohesion. That's how you build long-term sustained success. I think you still need to be active in free agency, I just think you need to be very prudent. It's gotta be the right player, but more importantly, it's gotta be the right price."
I also thought it was funny what he said about Shanny's 32 points: "if a guy truly doesn't want to be part of the organization, then I wasn't going to sit and waste a lot of time on it. I didn't need to go through 32 points or whatever it was."
I only ever used 1 point when leaving a job, "I have something better so I'm moving on in two weeks. Thanks for the opportunity to be ready for this move."
Who the fuck needs 32?

"Kyle Shannaflimflam was just an immature, childish bitcher"
Uh huh, and calling him Kyle Shannaflimflam is super mature...

Pettine's a good coach. Beat the Steelers and Bungles in his first year and had the Ravens on the ropes twice, once with Conner Freaking Shaw in the last game of the season on the road when other Browns teams would have quit.
I'm just laughing at all the negativity from fans this offseason, and if Old Browns Fan wants to start 94 threads about why he loves the Browns I am going to let him.
We set the ship straight a year ago when we put Farmer and Pettine in charge. To get 7 wins out of this team the first year without Mack, Cameron and Taylor nearly the whole season, and only negative production from Gordon, and a journeyman QB, and three playoff teams in the division ... not bad for Year One.
This offseason stuff that some folks are flipping out about, well, it doesn't really affect what we are doing here with Farm and Pet.
Shanahan leaving: I give no shits. Buh Bye, new guy will work better within the entire philosophy of the team.
Farmer texting: I give no shits. I'm sure lots of execs did it (now they won't) Farmer got caught because Shanny was comparing pussy rashes with Mary Kay and it slipped out.
Johnny in rehab: I give half a shit. Listen, it's not the end of the world if the QB we took at #22 busts out, we have more draft picks, there are more QBs. Farmer had the balls to draft him, I hope this doesn't make him shy away from such bold moves, because sometimes they hit. who knows, Manziel, may still hit, we've got him locked up if he does.
Gordon failing: I give a shit, but i don't blame PetFarm. Wasn't drafted by these guys. You can't babysit a 23 year-old 24 hours a day.
What else are we "mad" about? Rookie corner is immature? Stop the presses. Ticket prices raised? They were the lowest in the league, you can't hold the new ownership responsible for the product the old ownership gave us. This franchise needs to think and act like an elite franchise and they should be charging at least the the league average.
I think Jimmy has balls, I think Farmer has balls, and I think Pettine has balls ... and I think now is the time to show your support, any front runners try to jump on the train next year, I'm going to kick them in the face.

Thanks Zombo but my goal was only 75 posts on my Browns.
I just wanted to try and wake some people up to how destructive that negativism is. We have 32 teams who are in competition and our club is pulling itself up off the mat. They need our support. I am so looking forward to seeing the dog pound rocking and fans excited again.

I've made my remarks known that I just don't see the fascination with kid Shanny. It's clear that over a prolonged period of time his offensive mindset gets figured out. It really seems to me as well that he's the type of guy who relishes in his last name.
I felt the same frikin way about Pat Shurmer too. Everyone kept saying the guy knows offense but the crap he put on the field was never good.
-
Pettine is a good general. And he hates to lose. Good. I'm that way. I see him going into a game focused on what his team is going to do and less concerned about what the other team is going to do.
The good coaches hate to lose. Urban Meyer said he told his players when he worked them hard preparing for the Oregon game the choice was put in the pain of the extra work to get ready for the hurry up offense of Oregon or face the pain of losing. I saw what happened. It paid off.
The NFL is different than college but that principal is universal from high school to the pros.

Great interview... thanks for posting it, cal...
Loved this Playboy interview moment:
On what was the best part of his rookie head coaching season:
"Seeing our guys celebrate wins in the locker room. I tell the guys: "There's no better feeling than winning. The food tastes better. The drinks taste better. Don't think it too lewd, the sex is better."

Fan negativism is not destructive. That has not a cabbage fart's effect on the team.
Bad quarterback play, bad defense, injuries, bad talent evaluation.....those are destructive.

Even if it doesn't effect the team I don't see fan negativism as any kind of good thing.
I never coached an NFL team but I have always thought a big part of the process is a coach who is able to week in and week out get the team to play at the highest level. Maybe fan support is good in that area? It wouldn't hurt.

So, should we powder their butts as well. These are men, not babies. I don't think they should act like babies. They want their tushies powdered? Play well and win.....they will get all the powdering they can stand.
