  • Personally, I really dont worry as much about HC as I do about the position coaches and coordinators....these are the guys who coach our players, call the plays, decide on who plays and who doesnt, etc.....

    I know the HC is the bottom line....but really, he has less affect on the players and games than most people think....

    So, Id still like to see Pettine at the helm, but would welcome an upgrade to the guys who are actually coaching the players......

    Truly....there is no "one guy" that I can think of that I believe would just turn this team around instantly, unless that guy has an awesome staff already in place.....who that guy is?.....I have no idea......

  • Gruden.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • I can't really think of the "one guy", and even if there WAS a consensus #1 candidate, the odds of getting that person to Cleveland are remote. I guess if I had to pick one it would be Gruden. I don't care if he won a Superbowl with Dungy's player, he still won a damn Superbow, and he took the Raiders pretty far as well. As far as who the coordinators would be, I have no clue. And THEY would be the ones that truly coach the players on a daily basis.

  • The only guy mentioned that I would like to see as the next HC, and would realistically consider coming here would be Josh McDaniel.

  • I want Pet, but with a new DC.

    Not very realistic, but I was not kidding when I told our BUF visitor that if they are one and done with Rexy, I wanted him to come DC for us. Where I think Rex's bravado is a team detriment as HC, I think it is a D asset as DC. The guy can coach and inspire D.

    The other position where coaching has to improve is OL. As a group they are underperforming. The whole is far short of the sum of the parts. Were we not set with Flip... and I think he has earned another season... I'd look at Munchak for OC. He has done fine work at PTG. As it is I don't think we could get him without creating an Asst. OC position.

    The bucs were crippled after the SB year in terms of salary cap, injuries, etc. - kinda like what's happening to the Ravens now (which is something I am not complaining about)

    After they finally got a west coast QB (Garcia) and some decent talent they had a couple more winning seasons and a playoff appearance before firing him.

    But nobody should get their hopes up, if the people who are calling to fire Pettine get their wish, we'll be getting a Shurmur probably.

    I'd be perfectly OK with retooling the defensive staff and keeping Pett. The only thing I'll be mad about is if we make no personnel changes - cleaning house may not be necessary though.

  • Gruden or Dungy!!! Why both them have many contacts in the nfl would be able to put good staff together!!!

    Right now santa claus and 5 elves could do better then petine and his staff.

  • Gruden and Dungy proved they did it before (Gruden even won a SB against a team he raised up to SB level). I don't want to know about people who never proved anything. Or whose heydays were in college.

    All the way from Torino to Cleveland: GO BROWNS!!!!!!!

  • How old are their "contacts"?

    Both have strong ties still in the NFL community through the regular commentary/broadcasting they do. They keep up.

  • Anyone but fat ass Pettine.

  • Gruden 2016

  • A good GM should already have in mind or good relations to the guy he wants on the sidelines than you let the GM get his man. Farmer was not Pets Man. do not wash, rinse & repeat in the FO. They must work together & not out do the other.. If any of Belly Checks active or former staff would like to return to finish the job b4 Art got stupid would be a good start. Did Farmer find his coach on the Stanford/Cal game trip? who knows what Haslem/Farmer is thinking either?

  • Hue Jackson or Adam Gase.

    Woof Woof!

  • id be ok with mcdanial or gase also

  • Another guy I would be interested in is Carolina's defensive coordinator Sean McDermott.

    But who am I kidding, he would probably have zero interest in coming to coach the Browns.

  • Same on McDermott.. we'd certainly get our 4-3...

    Aside: Of all the successful HCs Rivera is the biggest surprise to me. A so-so LB with a so-so position and DC history survives a close call at CAR and now with a team lacking weapons is rolling.

    I predicted (before last season) that the panthers would go 6-10 and he would be fired.. Well I was pretty damn close record-wise, but didn't count on the rest of the division sucking so bad. If they hadn't won the division I still think he would be gone..

  • Mike Pettine.

  • Can we get Andy Moeller (sp) back after a year of banishment?
