    I always thought of Ernie Accorsi as someone who could come in as a consultant. Too bad he was picked up by the Lions.

      Chip Kelly wasn't a good idea the first time around.

        Yep, plus he didn't want to come here, said we didn't have enough talent.

        So what does he do in Philly? Purges the talent they had (McCoy, Maclin, DeSean Jackson, etc.). I think the Browns could beat the Eagles right now.

            Chip Kelly imo runs an unreasonable offense for the nfl. There is a reason he's struggled since the one season he took the league by surprise. The Browns would need to change a large part of their team to make his quick offense work. Firing yet another coach is one of the bigger mistakes the Browns could make. When was the last coach that was actually able to make a mark on a team in Cleveland? Continuity and trust will go a long way with pettine. You can't keep white washing the process and expect something to miraculously change. You should hope that if haslam learned anything while part of the steelers it was that continuity is important. No way would I fire pettine after one season.

            Yea, maybe, but, oddly JFF is one guy that could perhaps run that offense.

            Firing yet another coach is one of the bigger mistakes the Browns could make.

            It is a vexing conundrum.....get rid of someone you think may be inept (this defense is clearly ineptly run) or give a guy time to work out of it. Yes, a number of coaches started out poorly their first few years, but went on to do well: Noll, Walsh, Belichick, Landry etc. Hard to say what we have here.

            When was the last coach that was actually able to make a mark on a team in Cleveland?

            Butch Davis could have.....but he overreached.

            It has been two seasons now......and the fact is....Pettine has gotten worse. Last week was one of the worst coached game in the last 15 years.....and there have been a lot of bad games in that time.

              Another point worth mentioning is coaches not wanting to coach in Cleveland because they know if they have a rough start they may get tossed.

                                If we're going to get a new coach, we need to take a chance or get a big name. Fuck that one guy that used to coach some other team but was fired. Give me an innovator, a young guy with potential, or go all in on a big name.
