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

Keep Pettine unless Jim Harbaugh is available

The ravens are not going to fire harbaugh.

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!
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.

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!

Who?
Les Miles?

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'?

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.Kelly inherited a decent team looking to go to the next level.

I would guess that his next HC gig will be in the college ranks.
-
Yup, fully expect that. Or maybe Tennessee, back with Mariota.

Unlikely, he seems arrogant. But he might also manage to persuade them to give him the HC job.

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.

That can happen in every market. And you don't have to have a rough start. Kelly was 10-6 and 10-6 in his first year, and now after giving up 45 points in consecutive games, the entire city wants him gone.
How long did Whisenhunt last in Tenn. I think they hired him the same time the Browns hired Pettine.
And McCoy in SD.....again, I think hired same year as Pettine....and he may be gone.
And the only thing that reprieved Joe Philbin in Miami for a while was that he....or was it his wife....had cancer.
They basically fired John Fox in Denver after having gone to the playoffs like every year there. Who would want to possibly go to a situation like that?
So....it is stupid to conclude that no one would come here because they may get fired if they don't succeed.
Every single fucking coach in the NFL is susceptible of being fired if they do not succeed.
Two losing seasons in a row in Pittsburgh and they would probably start calling for Tomlin's head.
