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

I think you're correct about a lot of things, but the difficult part of the equation is figuring out exactly what is wrong. Honestly, that's above my pay grade. It's safe to say we need more talent,
I'm not sure firing Pettine would help, but at the same time, are we doing more damage by keeping potentially the wrong guy? I wish I knew.
Well,,,,,it's above my pay scale too......Im just saying that I dont believe Farmer, Pettine & Oneill are all incompetent....
But just firing everybody again would show me that Haslem IS incompetent and has no clue whats wrong with the team or how to hire the right people.....
My experience has always been that you can only win with talent....lots of talent......Ive never seen a great coach win it all without great players.....and, right now, we dont have any great players....
so, before switching coaches, Id at least wait to see what this one could do with the proper talent in place(and healthy).....

At this point.....if O'Neil would go, I would like to see what happens going forward from there.
And the other thing I would change is for Ray Farmer to not be such a stubborn ass about the WR position. Get a good one high in the draft.

The only thing that makes great players great is success - and that is largely due to utilization and supporting cast.
There's no talent differential between Edelman/Amendola and Benjamin/Hawkins. Same measurables, same strengths, same weaknesses. But one group has a great coach utilizing their talents effectively and a great QB able to anticipate when they will be open and deliver them the ball in space.
On paper, our team is just as talented as at least half of the league, yet we are incorrectly utilizing our players (Sheard, Mingo, Crowell), underutilizing them (Duke, kind of Hartline) or not using them at all (Bowe, GIlbert). The only talent we're really seriously missing is a three-down OLB and/or stud ILB.
The only person to blame is Pettine. Farmer gave him a team of talented players, Pettine has found a way to fuck it up. I'm sure Arians, Quinn, Harbaugh, Ryan, Rivera, Fox, Pagano, Lewis, Reid, Zimmer, Belichick, Coughlin, Kelly, Carroll, Smith and Bowles could manage more than two wins with our roster.
Look at New England last night - Amendola out, Lewis out, Edelman out, Gronk injured late... and they still probably should have won that game. Are New England's fourth string WR's really just head and shoulders more talented than our starters, or is it more likely that Belichick and Brady know how to use the talent they have?

And if we get a new coach he will want ALL NEW PLAYERS people he picked and in 2 years by the time they get developed we will get a new mother fucking coach who will want to bring in guys that he hand picked and in 2 years we will get a new coach who wants his own guys.......... YOU CAN'T BUILD A TEAM IN 2 FUCKING YEARS

You can improve in two years, not regress.
I don't know why the common belief is that failure = firesale. The odds that Pettine, and O'Neil, and Flip, and Farmer and all of our players are shit are astronomical. There are plenty of teams that have lost a head coach without losing a GM, or a coordinator without losing the HC. Just because one guy goes doesn't mean you scrap it all and start over.

agreed, but we regressed in a big time way...from game 12 last yr to present day. We lose tonight, we lose the rest of the games, bank on it..even frisco will kick our ass. So it that is the case, we go 2-14, yeah, there better be some changes made because after yr 2 we are going backwards man...

Cause your high. The Browns are awful.
The Browns are awful......mainly because they are coached terribly. So you are right.
I see where maybe they have at most 3-4 spots that could/should be filled/upgraded. (not counting injury)

Again Cleveland has maybe 6 players that other teams would want as a starter Benjamin, Barnidge, Schwartz, Thomas, Mack and Lee.

If Mud and I agree it must be true but this is exactly what needs to be said. If we get the right talent and still can't win, see Detroit, then fire the coach

Let's please hope Pettine is still around next year or we're gonna get another round of the sports world laughing and peeing on us.
That being said, if Manning says i'll be the OC if you hire Dungy as HC.....ok deal. Then people would understand why we fired Pettine. But if we fire pettine and go into beggar mode again, "pweeeeeessee come to Cleveland"....the franchise is done. We don't fire another head coach for YEARS without his replacement ready to go next day.

Are you serious?? I understand the consistency this team needs with coaching, BUT Pettine is a joke of a coach. Tonight's coaching snafu's weren't his first or even his 2nd. This is his 2nd year and the guy still has no clue what he is doing!

A lot of their players would look better if they were better coached.

They'd look better if they played better.....
Just wait till we get a new coach, then you all will see that some of these guys just suck at their jobs......

Well, I agree that it is highly unfair to assess the value of some of these players due to the poor coaching they receive.
If we can get some good coaching......some real professional coaching and some real professional talent evaluators, and a number of these guys don't perform....then so be it. At least then, hopefully, we would really know.
