    No way! This guy signed Demarco Murray and didn't play him! Did anyone watch their last two games? I can't believe he'd rather lose than play Murray! I hope we don't acquire this guy. Maybe he goes back to college, hopefully! He's an NFL bust!

    He played Murray. Murray just isn't a good fit for his style. Which is why it was a strange pick up. Check the stats, the other backs averaged much higher than Murray did in ypc.

            Considering the job he did with the Beagles in player moves, NO THANKS.

              I guess in Cleveland, "setting your franchise back" means "winning games".

                He may choose to go back to the college ranks. If he opts for the NFL, I would think that the Browns & Titans might show interest, but who knows?

                      This Shit actually scares me. We have a fire from the hip dipshit owner. And firing HC and GM will make me cringe. If Kelly is the future of the Cleveland browns I call Joe Thomas being the first guy gone.

                          Just asking, not implying, but why are people opposed to Chip when he won 10 games in his first two seasons and did so well as a College coach?

                            Wondering the same myself, also well documented he likes the QB we've drafted in the first round (whatever you think of JF personally)

                              And unless Haslam has decided that Pettine isn't his man he shouldn't be even thinking about it, but I'm old fashioned.

                                Difference was back then that he was THE dude everyone wanted. He got humbled a lot in this situation and don't forget the Browns wanted him really badly. The Titans make a crazy amount of sense but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Jimmy gives him a phone call.

                                  He meddles in player acquisition and from the looks of things doesn't know how to do that at all. Chip had talent left over from Andy Reid then shipped it all out as soon as he got control as GM.

                                    Ha!....The Chipper got axed.....well, no surprise there.....talk about dismantling a team....

                                    And he pretty much took Haslem for a ride during the last mating season and then turned, thumbed his nose and went elsewhere.....so, it would shock me if Haslem just sets that aside and tries again.....

                                    No....I think Jimmys pride wouldnt allow him to make that call.....

                                      I'd be intrigued and wouldn't hate it.

                                      Pros:

                                      He went 10-6 his first two seasons

                                      26-21 overall.. Better than any coach we've had

                                      Manziel "broke his heart" when he decided to go to A&M instead of Oregon. Said Mainziel was " Tailor-made" for his system.

                                      We have a good offensive personnel for his high octane offense (especially if Gordon gets back on the field) mobile qb, big #1 receiver, speedy #2, quick possession receivers

                                      Cons:

                                      His ego: He needs to let a GM pick the players

                                      Defensive players hate him because he doesnt believe in time of possession, so defense plays 80+ snaps a game

                                      Some players accuse him of racism

                                      He's not a "people person" some players don't like the way he sees them as cogs in his system and not as humans

                                        I don't think Kelly has any interest in coaching here by how it went before; and, I am not really a Kelly fan anyway (great in college but will not go anywhere in the NFL).
