        Totally fine with it. I really am curious to see what Haley and Williams do without the cloud of Hue over their heads. Saunders has been around the league forever and I'm not worried he can control the guys in the locker room.

          Probably the right coach to guide the ship for the balance of the season, but his name will be included with Haley and Williams on Black Monday when the Browns clean house.

            I dont understand why they didn't give Haley a chance. He has proven he can run a top tier offense and were going to let that go for a question mark next season? Dumb

              He’s made many questionable calls this year in crucial game situations(end arounds, double screens) that have HURT this teams chances of winning

                I really liked our DC. I hope the new coach keeps Greg but I am sure that is not going to happen.

                  Just heard this on NFL network regarding the relationship between Hue and his assistants.

                  Just said that Hue gave the team the day off after beating Baltimore and the assistant coaches were furious.

                  Hue wasn’t cut out for the job.

                  I don’t know much about Sanders besides it sounding like a familiar name.

                  All I really know he’s an older head who coached in the 80s, maybe exactly what this young team needs.

                    The Steelers have gotten better on offense without Haley and they don’t have Bell

                    We have a #1 QB with huge potential we can’t let anyone ruin the chance of him succeeding.

                      Saunders hasn't been named interim coach.  Nothing has been announced yet.

                        I don't think Todd knew he had a super young team when he drew up this offense, it may have worked for a team that had a few years under their belt

                                  Baker was on fire in the second half against Tampa when OC called double screen(holding on Des Harrison), and run, on first downs in OT when again, Baker was on fire..

                                  end arounds was called against NO(game tied I believe) when TT was playing with 5-6 minutes left, and it went for -8 yards...

                                    Doesn't Baker being "on fire" make the arguement that Haley deserves more than a handful of games to develop an offense for him?

                                      Haley sucked before too. That’s why he got fired. Ben hated him and Hue brings him here.  Sheesh! I like Saunders and at least he will make the 2nd half of the season worth watching. The plan is to get Mayfield the weapons he needs to win with in the off season

                                        Zombo is right...he's a respected guy who can coach the rest of the season and the staff is likely blown up at the end of the season anyways.

                                        Hehe, he was just playing I think.  Saunders was hired as interim to just keep the wheels on as best as possible, and I think it makes a lot of sense.  And the guy might be 71, but he's got the energy of a freaking toddler!  I don't have any unrealistic expectations about what Saunders can accomplish in his 8 games, but I'm very interested to see how the players react to the massive changes.  The gossipy sports writers make it sound like Baker isn't sad whatsoever that Hue Jackson is gone, and if that's the case, I'm betting other players felt the same way.  

                                        We have our monster defensive player in Garrett, our QB in Mayfield, a badazz CB in Ward, and several other key pieces to build around.  Our cupboard if far from "full", but it ain't empty like years past, either.  Once we get our coach, I could really see a transformation happening.  Right now we need to keep Baker healthy, and we need him to learn as much as possible during this difficult season.  It's been said before, but I always think back to what Peyton Manning said, "I learned the most about playing QB in the 4th quarter of some blowout losses."

                                          Totally fine with it. I really am curious to see what Haley and Williams do without the cloud of Hue over their heads. Saunders has been around the league forever and I'm not worried he can control the guys in the locker room.

                                          u do understand that hue had "nothibg" to do with the defense right? absolutely nothing. garrett wasnt questioning hue's defensive schemes last night, he was questioning gw's.
