Who takes the fall?

The Browns Board
370 53 11.8k
  • Jackson has this team playing the best ball we have seen in years, and with this ragtag roster of players. The team is getting better, week after week. I don't think anyone goes.

  • If ya can't see the improvement in the Browns, huge improvement, ya just don't want to.

    Used to be, they often had no ability to make any big plays, couldn't run the ball.

    Crow just ran over a hundred yards, had Miami beat, and scared the hell out of the Redskins

    the first half.

    TEAM LEADERS

    Kessler, a ROOKIE, completed 70% of his passes, and Crow and Duke averaged 7.5 and 5.9 yds per carry.

    This is a worthless whining thread.

  • Besides the way the Titans are screwing up their running game offense, I think that there just may be a win there in week 6. Talk about a screwed up coaching job, the Titans take the cake. They are tied with the Bears for least points per game.

  • Nobody, we don't have the talent to win many games and that's just how it is.

    I believe that Derrick Henry is clearly the problem there and has zero to do with Coach Mularkey's excellent schemes.

    Haha

    I haven't seen their games.....is Henry a TR redux? (after 4 games....too early to tell)

    They are not using him much at all. Certainly not nearly as many carries as pre-season.

    From CBS sports

    " (10/03) Henry rushed three times for nine yards Sunday in Houston.

    Henry got a season-low number of carries while DeMarco Murray scored two touchdowns on a season-high 25. The rookie out of Alabama had been spelling Murray for 8-to-10 carries per game prior to this, but the veteran's strong play has made it difficult to justify taking him off the field. Henry's problem is a lack of opportunities more so than a lack of skill."

  • Yup... Murray's been getting me projected points plus in Fantasy. Henry just isn't seeing 2nd and 3rd string Defenses like he did in preseason. Not sure how the TN staff is supposed to "manage" to arrange that.

    And there is no "fall" in 2017... not the same as saying there will not be changes... especially among assistant coaches.

    so hypothetically we go 0-20 losing all 4 preseason games and all 16 regular season games? Who stays? Who goes?

    personally i think this is an unlikely but possible scenario. I got us winning 4 down the stretch but that's neither here nor there.

    I can see us letting go some odds and ends on the coaching staff (horton/hamilton/saunders) maybe a front office figure(berry/sashi/kovash).

    I highly doubt jackson will go but it's possible after such an occurance and more importantly if there is another high profile coach available.

    Or hey does no one get fired at all? Maybe we actually hire someone? A true OC prehaps? More Front office personnel?

    I'm not on the 0-16 train anymore. Had the Dolphins beat. Everyone stays, at least through next year.

    Yeah...we gotta win one or 2 at least.....maybe more......including preseason, Hue has lost his first 8 games played, which has never happened in Browns history.....and, while I thought this could end up being the worst team we've ever fielded, Im thinking not.....they're due and Hue just has to get that first win in the tank.....SOON!.........Patriots anyone?

  • The only way anybody gets fired is if Jimmy goes on a bender. He knows he must stay patient, despite the record.

    It sucks to be 0-4, but outside of the Philly game, they've had the lead in the 2nd half in every game, they just can't close the deal.

  • continuity for the sake of continuity is as bad or worse than lacking patience.

    Now that's the Mud I know and love!

  • Nobody on the coaching staff is getting sacked until the FO are entirely happy with the roster (this FO is going nowhere) as only then will they judge the coaches use of the talent they've brought in.

  • No no no. Stop firing people after one year. We'll never get better like that.

    @mld-woody said:

    I couldn't agree more. We need to quit firing our coaches and give them time. We are the only team that had more coaching turnovers and losing records. Let's keep this entire staff for at least 3 years (5 max) and see what happens. I personally believe in a few years, we could be there.

  • We now have tied the worst start for the browns since 1999. Coaching needs to be held as accountable as our players should be. if we go ONE more loss it will be the worst in franchise history. Firing a HC is generally a bad idea but if the shoe fits for WORST OF ALL TIME then its tough luck next man up.

    the ravens just fired their OC for the second time in 4 years mid season. You guys act like firing a coach is automatic 2-3 years rebuilding and sucking and thats not always the case. I argue that keeping the WRONG coach is as detrimental or MORE SO than firing to often

  • Again... there's no fall. But that is not to say that there will not be changes among the assistant coaches.

    There will be better coaching talent caught up in the off-season shuffle, and some of that will see what we are doing and climb on board.

    You're a frickin idiot, man. Please stop being a Browns fan. You're hurting us.

    My beliefs also! Well put?

    No need to warn war... he's not an idiot.

    And, yes, I just called you an idiot. In under 200 posts you managed to trigger one of the two or three tripwires here that will get you a warning.

    I'm not sure you have the temperament to make it to 500, but the jury is still out.
