  • Is Mike McCarthy done tugging on Aaron Rogers cape cause he sure the hell makes no adjustments? This maybe Sean Peyton landing spot if saints get stupid..

    Pettine and the coaches are gone. The new regime should go back to the 4-3 defense and start letting players develop instead of letting them walk.

    The new regime better draft impact players- not projects! If Farmer stays I will tweet him every time Khalil Mack gets another sack he has 15 thru 15 games!

    Draft Joey Bosa, Zeke Elliot and two wide receivers! Then draft Cardale Jones. I also heard it "through the Grapevine" that Peyton Manning will be coming along with Gase. So let Manning be a role model for Jones!

    Whoever they hire must have vision for the present as well as the future. Pettine had tunnel vision and was a stubborn ass!

    What are you smokin'? Elliot will not be there if we take Bosa @ #2 overall, unless we trade away the bank to move up for him in the mid-first. That would cost us next year's #1 or at least a #2 plus another. Now Henry just might still be there at the top of the 2nd if we are lucky. And for the gunshy Browns fans who are afraid of another Bama back, I'm calling it now. Henry is going to be a very good NFL back for someone. Last year I called it on do everything Tyler Lockett and Seattle moved up to steal him in the early 3rd. He's been an excellent get for them. Browns sure could have used him with all the WR injuries and misses. Are you kiddin' me? Paying for Bowe instead of moving up for Lockett? Mayle? What a joke of a GM we have.

  • #Browns GM Ray Farmer may be fired without ever hiring a coach. Had 2 top picks forced on him: Manziel (Haslam's call), Gilbert (Pettine's)

    This is why I'd rather see Farmer get one more year than Pettine.

    Two-thirds of the reasons people hate him were not even his call. If we literally picked ANY other players instead of Gilbert and Manziel, most of his detractors would change their tune.

    I hear ya Tour. Does ego trump the opportunity to learn from one's mistakes in this case?

    Didn't seem appropriate since the asshole does own truck stops (albeit the one's daddy gave him).

  • I would like to see Haslam hire Marrone.

    That way 3/4 of the way through another abysmal season, Marrone would just walk away saving Haslam the trouble of firing his ass.

    I would think with the impending blow up, JM played his last game as a Brown.

    We will get all the good names in rumors and interviews.

    Then we're going to get the jets TE coach or something.

    Sounds like what we just did 2 years ago.

    Honestly.....if they push Johnny onto the new coach, then it is absolutely a hopeless hopeless situation...

  • Marrone got 4 mill. for not coaching the Bills in 2015 while double dipping in Jags for more $$$. Marrone's Agent is far to smart for us!!

  • I combined all of these threads into one so there aren't 5 different threads all talking about the same thing.

  • When all the rock star candidates choose to work for front offices that aren't sitting on quick sand - we'll end up with some poor guy that's been driving a Charles Chips truck for the last 2 years.

    And Farmer's presser was so awesome...

    @canton-dawg said:

    If Fisher gets fired, St Louis would be the best landing spot for the next HC. They already have a very good defense, with a strong running game in Gurley. All they need is a decent QB and a WR and they will compete.

    Add a fresh arm for sure, but I don't think Foles is done. I think Fischer stays though... or should I say moves with the team.

    Elsewhere:

    • I think Coughlin will retire... and then unretired to Miami where a TE coach is dismissed.
    • Agree that Pagano will be shown the door... replacement below
    • I see Sean Peyton going elsewhere via the trade route... Indy seems whacky enough to mortgage their future for a HC
    • SF is where our next HC will come from... Tomsula just looks like Cleveland...
    Not sure about: TN, SD, and Detroit...

    My surprise change? Dallas...

    GM Jerrah needs a scapegoat and Sean Peyton might be his kind of guy...

    Now we finally know why JM is in Vegas. Haslem told him to spin the wheel. 😆

  • So I wake up early, go get a great workout in and I miss not only an 8 page thread but now talk of Haslam getting rid of Pettine...?

    I have this feeling Jimmah is chasing the fools gold that is Chip Kelly.

  • OK lets see if anyone gets it right .......Say who you would want that is available and also who you think we will end up with. Only 1 choice for each ....

    Want : Gruden

    Prediction : Marrone
