    Chubb was horribly underutilized. How do you cure that? Don't wait for the end of the season to ditch Hyde. Trade him off while he has some value to someone and you fix the underutilization problem at the same time.

    My only gripe Tex is yeah, we can now utilize Chubb, (looked OK last Sunday) but at the expense of depth. He better not get hurt.

    Or else what? We win one less game?

  • Has anyone started a thread about which coach might take Hue's place?  A few weeks ago, I would've thought that subject was entirely premature, but now, I don't see a way Hue keeps his job.  I'm not even sure Hue makes it through the BYE WEEK because I think we play at the Steelers, and then the freaking Chiefs heading into the bye.  Can the Browns win one or both of those games?  Sure, anything is possible.  Everyone likes to point to that blowout the Bills had over the Vikings.  Anything is possible in the NFL.  Is it LIKELY?  Uhhh....no.  No it's not.  I'm not trying to be a negative jerk, I'm really not, but I have a bad feeling we're about to get our azzes blown apart like Cam Erving trying to block Cam Hayward.  We get blown out two games in a row, and I think it's gonna be lights out for our coach.  

    So who do you guys want to be the next coach?  Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma?  Historically, I HATE hiring college coaches in the pros, as I can hardly think of a time where it worked.  I get that he's known as an elite play-caller and all that, but the college game is so different, and I'm not sure I want a coach who has NO real NFL experience.  Even if he was the college coach of my young QB.  I've also heard an old friend of ours John DeFilipo being mentioned as a "hot candidate", and someone who has a good track record with working with QB's in Philly.  I've heard so many people saying they want a new coach, but WHO do you want?  Do fans have the mentality that "anyone has to be better"?  Heck, maybe they're right.  Our Browns are number 1 in THE LEAGUE at creating turnovers.  Number 1!!!  Can you freaking believe that?  What did we have last year?  13? And do you think that just ONCE, maybe just once, our defense could actually return the ball for a freaking touchdown?  Jesus, I see defensive TD's EVERY SINGLE WEEK, yet we can't seem to ever run one back?  Lord it's so frustrating.  But hey, I'm not complaining about the turnovers, without them we'd be 0-7.  I just wish we DID something with them on offense.  

    How can you lead the league in turnovers and only win 2 games?  Yeesh.

    Yes, sort of.    The name I suggested on another thread was Mike Munchak.  Others had other names.

    But if you want a thread like that...just start one. No one stopping you.

  • Hue Jackson will not be fired.

    https://dawgpounddaily.com/2018/10/23/cleveland-browns-hue-jackson-says-job-safe/

    Jackson was given a long-term commitment by Haslam, possibly 5 years to produce a dynasty. Again, take it from the king of this board, the one who teaches you all....Hue is here for awhile. If he gets fired during the bye week or before, I will jump in Lake Erie wearing lipstick and pantyhose.

    In the NFL, isn’t the vote of confidence about the same as the kiss of death?

    Yeah, I know. I guess I saw I see the Fire Hue Jackson thread and think that might be the place to go. Munchak is interesting though.

    Now we will hold you to that?

  • It’s good these owners have sense and have the ability to block out the outside noise. 

    You would think year after year, with a revolving door for head coaches, that we as fans would have it figured out by now.

    I just wonder how it’s gonna for us fans when Hue does/doesn’t get fired ?

  • Munchak? Great player... good OL coach...

    HC? Not so much... unless you are looking for Forest Gregg 2.0.

    Well, that is up to the individual fan, isn't it? Browns fans are zealots and often create their own fake reality, so when actual reality hits they fabricate all kind of crap to save face for being so far off base.

    Case.in point, Hoorta and Flugel actually thoughts Haley and Williams (coffee fetchers) were brought in to keep Hue in check.

    Now Haley is in jeopardy, and if Williams D doesn't stop the bleeding, he will be in the hot seat as well.

    Look at the logic, my friend. It really implies heavily.that Hue is not going anywhere, any time soon.

    1) 3 Years Ago Hue was the hottest HC prospect in the NFL. When he came to Cleveland he held ALL THE CARDS. Haslam/the Browns were in a bad place with a bad reputation for not sticking with coaches.

    Do you not see the high probability that Hue made sure he had some longevity BEFORE he agreed to come here? 

    2) If you are firing a guy you do it at 1-31.

    3) You don' t get a new OC, DC and #1 Qb and then fire a HC leaving everyone in limbo. It just isn't done.

    4) Hue is 2-4-1 with a Steeler tie and a win over the Ravens. Excitement and i terest in the Browns is high and most feel the Browns are improved and will win 4 or 5 games

    You don't fire a HC who takes you from 0 wins to 5 in 1 year.

    Hue is safe.

    I just think fans of any fan base can’t handle losing and want to place blame on coaches for not getting Ws, when in reality, our coaches are coaching a lot of high level college atheletes with limited NFL gameday WINNING experience.

    Yes, Haley makes some questionable calls, so hopefully HC Jackson will step in and “override” or “veto” some play selections, especially in critical situations.

    And tbh, I think G. Williams is blitz happy, but I do like the type of coach he is and I don’t wanna see anybody fired until next year at the least. 

    Besides some of the referees. Lol (Hugo Cruz)

    All valid points. I just don't see Hue being fired anytime soon. Certainly not this season.

    IF the BROWNS do not beat pizzburgh they will be 2-5-1 half way through the season good chance then they will NOT win 5 or more Hue will be gone if any good candidate comes along probably even before week 15 or 16......if available, for sure as the playoffs move along.

    But he is a nice guy.

    It's a tough call either way but when do you say enough is enough and try to bring on another coach......if available...... or try yet another season with a super young team and the same HC.

    In 2 1/2 seadons they're looking at 3 wins IF they wait until next year with no improvement they might have 5 or 6 total wins in 3 years. One thing for sure they will not compete in 2018 and may in 2019 with a good draft and other position magic. Maybe more decent candidates might actually consider Cleveland. 

    They started 2-4-1 not 4-2-1 and a tough schedule left, I have no problem with a HC job search beginning whenever. (oh I'm not available, prior commitments 😆).

    I guessed 5-10-1 before the season, I hope they can hit that.

    Just like yours? He (Munchak) was pretty mediocre as a head coach of the Titans. Record not appreciably better than either Haley or Williams in that regard.

    Once they've won somewhere else, they don't win again with a new team.
