If Pettine is not around next year, is Chip Kelly a good option?

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.

That is the technical meaning....but yea, it has other interpretations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kelly will get the same millions to go fix USC/LSU or any college coach opening to coach Kids cause he sure the hell can't handle Grown Men.. Dungy would be like watching Banner fall asleep in the middle of a presser. Get Younger with some Fire on the podium please.. A Bryan Kelly @ND would be a better Kelly along with Leroy Kelly.. Hell Nau to Chip Kelly here

For the love of Christ can we keep someone around for atleast three years, oh yeah I forgot Browns 101 keep changing so it never gets better.

I'd take a hefty bag filled with old mayonnaise over Pettine.

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.

Pretty sure Holmgren is not interested...

DeputyDawg

Hasn't Dungy been retired for a while? That implies to me he doesn't want to work again, so why would we want him? Isn't it better to keep someone who wants (hopefully) to prove themselves? These are genuine questions, I'm not intending to sound sarcastic.
