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

    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.

    Who?

    Les Miles?

  • Keep Pettine unless Jim Harbaugh is available

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

    Pretty sure Holmgren is not interested...

  • 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.

    The ravens are not going to fire harbaugh.

    Jim, not Jon. For clarity.

    I read that Jon, why would Jim come back to the nfl? He just went to Michigan.

  • Yeah... Uh... Jim isn't leaving any time soon lol.

    He could have had half of the HC jobs in the NFL last year if he wanted them.

  • there's only one guy i would say fire pettine if this person came available...and that's Cowher. Who has probably zero intention of ever coaching again. So we stick with Pettine and see what he can do once his guys are in place. That's that.

  • Chip Kelly...hell no!

    ^+1. Anyone who watched the Lions plaster the Eagles today still want him? I agree with Vag- Kelly has been figured out. Too bad we don't play the Eagles this year.

    The guy is a control freak that can't evaluate talent on the Pro level. Ran off some mighty good players I'd be happy to see on the Browns.

    well that defense isn't his fault though is it?

    He's found out NFL offenses can't score 50 a game every week like he did at Oregon. 🙂

  • His starting QB is out....

  • Kelly cleaned,house by getting rid of all their star players, then got Deer caught in headlights, Bradford who's terrible! Demarco,Murray doesn't fit his system and they just lost to the Lions by 30 points, last week to Bucs by almost 30. A rookie QB TOSSED 5 touchdowns against this group.

    Kelly is horrible. But he would clean house!

    what's his nfl record like?

  • Kelly inherited a decent team looking to go to the next level. He had some success with the players they had, including Shady, Foles, Jackson, & Maclin, then he wanted to run it all his own way, sung a browns-worthy trade for Sam Bradford, is surprised at his non-elitenes and injury proneness, and his team is now sitting at 4-7.

    What about this exactly screams 'hire me just as soon as I'm fired from my current job'?

  • Yeah... Uh... Jim isn't leaving any time soon lol.

    He could have had half of the HC jobs in the NFL last year if he wanted them.

    Never said he was. That would be the only coach I'd want at this point in time other than Mike Pettine. Even if the hoodie wanted to be in Cleveland, no thanks unless it was a GM.

    The Philly fan base and media have turned on Chip, so the writing is on the wall that he will be gone at season's end.

    I would guess that his next HC gig will be in the college ranks.

  • Yup, fully expect that. Or maybe Tennessee, back with Mariota.
