Who would you want to coach us next year? Try to be somewhat realistic

Canton Dawg

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?

How about Shaw at Stanford? Has built a pretty good resume under some good coaches and as the head man himself.

He's a really good coach and probably far too smart to ever wear brown and orange.

I would say that makes him a fucking moron no matter if his college skills translate into any kind of NFL success.

I could support someone telling Jimmy that he will need a little more control, if in fact pet does not have that control, but that's about it.

Leaving a successful, secure, D1 Pac12 gig that he is happy at, for a dysfunctional, perennial losing, NFL program with a track record of firing its head coaches every couple of years would make him a fucking moron. He's far too smart for that, as I would be.

But you on the other hand apparently...............

That's right. If I was afraid to accept a promotion because I didn't think I could do the job or I wasn't good enough that's one thing.

I guess we have differing definitions of the word promotion.

Could be, maybe I was too harsh. I'd say maybe if somebody's happy coaching high school or college with no desire to go to the pros whatsoever then fair enough. I think the gist of the conversation was that candidate X is looking for a professional head coach job yet wouldn't come to Cleveland. Seems to me if you have any confidence you should be able to look at this franchise and see that there is a path to success. Certainly a better chance New England Green Bay Seattle etcetera etcetera.

Stevie Wonder. A blind could may be able to coach better than what we have now.

Sir Barksalot

Stick with Pet.... not many coaches have instant success in the NFL. We just have to be a little more patient with our HC than we have proven to be in the past, but................... For the love of all that is holy FIRE THE DC !!!!!!! He has only been a DC for these two years in his coaching career and he has put out the worst run defence in the league both of them. Clearly he is not cut out for that gig...... not sure who would be good DC but that is where change has to be made with our coaches.

gumby73

^^^^about the only guys out there that could keep Pettine as HC is Farmer or his old boss Brian Billick as GM. Billick as a Brown. Don't see it. but I bet Bellick can draft & find nfl talent.

Jim Bob Cooter, the Lions OC. The Lions offense has been pretty good under him, he's an up and coming young coach who I think could work out for us
