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

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.

Bring Back Glass Bottles

Meyer!

ConnerLangford

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

The guy can't even manage a fucking clock. He's terrible and has no idea whats going on in the game.

He didn't even know why Duke Johnson didn't involved in the 2nd half against the Cardinals

If Pet does get replaced then for the love of god give the new HC 3 years before everyone starts calling for their head. Pet got 19 games before many of you started calling for his firing. Two drafts to try and fix a team that almost every position could be upgraded via a draft pick or FA. The browns are so devoid of real NFL talent that any HC and GM needs to approach it as building a new expansion team. This team will never move forward until the coaching carousel ends.

Pet can't even manage a fucking clock. He doesn't even have simple fundamentals down, you don't give time to a guy like that.

So what will be the excuse to fire next HC? The level of hypocrisy is unreal. JM can fuck up virtually non-stop and the Johnny "sit-n-spinners" unroll their football Jesus poster, slap the autographed JM dong they bought on it. Then plop their fat ass down and rotate until they can come up with an excuse to explain away his behavior. Yet they want fire a first time HC because he's made mistakes before his second complete season. Many were calling for his firing after game 3 of this year. Makes sense I mean firing the HC every 2 years on average for the last 15 has worked out so well.

I think he'd have a better feel for this team than any currently on staff, with the possible exception of Farmer who seems to play blindfold pinata with a draft pick stick.
