Gregg Williams interim head coach
-
If he finishes 6-2 he will be the coach in 2019.. that would be 3 more victories in half a season than Hue did in 2 1/2 seasons...
so? The two arent neccessarily connected in such a linear way wrt decision making though.
Every interim coach isn't interviewing for the job. Dorsey/Haslam very much picked an interim here that they wouldnt have to worry about such a thing.
They are going to pick some new guy. Williams is not coaching to be the browns HC in 2018.

This just in. It is 2018 and Williams is the Head Coach.
This team has shown us they can compete with anyone for at least 4 quarters THIS YEAR. I think we can all agree that the 1 Unit ruled with a "LET'S PHUCKIN HUNT" mentality made it possible to be in ideal positions to beat NYJ, Baltimore, Pitt, NO, TB. No coddling or plastic fanny pats required. The biggest times they struggled were when the offense couldn't possess the ball for any length of time exactly like Jax this year. It sure feels like the 2 other units (STs and Offense) that Hue chose to interfere with most remained most penalized and undisciplined. No consequences for repeating mistakes, blowing off responsibilities or lining up wrong - just a very youth footballesque "it's okay" fanny pat to guys that are supposed to be PROFESSIONALS. Nothing like the "GIVE YOUR SOUL TO GOD BECAUSE YOUR ASSS BELONGS TO ME" Williams instilled in his defense. So, here we are with 8 games left looking to what has worked saying good bye to what hasn't...
Let's see what Williams does with the opportunity. FWIW, Bill Belichick only had 1 winning season in 5 years here during his first Head Coaching gig; and it didn't look ANYTHING like his 2nd HC opportunity in NE. The difference? His 1st gig followed the decade Cleveland frequented the playoffs most (since the 50s) so a lot of old players and salaries needed to be purged out. If you look at Gregg Williams' situation in Buffalo, it was very similar to that where Buffalo made the playoffs 8 times in the 90s and purged out old players and salaries at the beginning of the next decade when Gregg Williams was signed as HC in 2001. At the same time, the Tom Donahoe that got fired for bringing Bill Cowher incompatible personnel was now the make or break personnel guy Gregg Williams had to count on for whatever that's worth.
The only question to be answered THIS YEAR is - is Gregg Williams in the right place at the right time?

That said, you listen to his press conferences since he's been promoted- and seeing him on Hard Knocks, it's obvious he's 180 degrees different (and comes off as way more intelligent) from- as I think we should start calling him "the departed coach who must not be named".
I'm sorry, but I can't get over the fact that he tried to drop that line of cowpoop about how four NFL teams told him all he had to do is say "yes" to them and the head coach job was his without even a formal interview, but he didn't even bother because he wanted to be the Browns DC.

Was he drinking that purified water Ghoolie is in charge of?
"Only 4 NFL Teams told him that? How disappointing! I had at least 37 NFL teams interested in me. However, I also had 163% of America and 200% of Russia interested in me so I ran for President and WON! This was punctuated with the largest Inauguration crowd ever. Just ask Fox News..." - Donald Trump

wtf are you talking about? You sure as hell aren't in touch with reality. Williams' bullshite is unwelcome and has been a giant failure of late. The rest of the league laughs at him
like the loudmouth idiot he is. Williams hasn't instilled shite in this defense except a lack of containment and lack of on the field discipline. There was a small period where an not maintainable turnover differential had us in decent position,, but now thats passed it is clear the defense is terrible and is getting killed schematically as well.

Our defense is pathetic. So is our offense.

In case you didn't notice, the Chiefs have been killing everyone, not just the Browns. I'll check but looks like Ward and Kirksey were out, depleting an already thin secondary

Gaines too. They used both backs and even threw to Duke. Kept Baker alive too. For an interim staff, they did alright.

I'm just not a big fan of going for 2 in the first half. Too many things can still happen. So many ways the game can go.

I think if we had a reliable kicker, we’d probably kick the XPs. But we don’t.

But they'll trot him out to attempt a 51 yard field goal - that he made?

Yep. Less pressure to make a 51 yarder. If he misses? Oh well. If he misses a 30-40 yarder, he sucks and loses his job.
He has a big leg, clearly.
Just isn’t reliable.

If you knew that he was injured. Otherwise, a kicker that you put on your team ought to at least be able to make extra points.
Of course, if you see that your relatively new kicker is missing extra points badly and you're gonna cut him after the game, then sure, forego extra points entirely.

Just terrible game day coaching.

Reading comprehension and math must be a struggle for you. Most of the posters have said if he wins a large sum of games, he could win the job. “If”. No one is inferring he will. Williams working out would be shocking.
not at all. If he goes 6-2 he still has no shot at the job. none.

williams hopefully will not be the coach, however, you can't blame him for this loss....he did not even know he was the interim until tuesday maybe...against this team the chiefs....pfffffft....you tell me a coach you think would have won this game against this team with all the same Sheet uncertainty with the clowns.....and i'll tell you you are crazy....

Didn't blame him for the loss..... blamed him for going for 2.

everyone nationally is making fun of all these clowns...
williams isnt going to stay on as DC next year.Which is a good thing.
-
but thats ok because Im sure williams can just take one of those 4-7 hc jobs that he 'doesn't even have to interview for, just show up'.....

Like countless others have told you, I can't help you with your reading comprehension issues. When healthy, our defense was easily #1 in getting turnovers about 5-6 weeks into things. You alluded to it above but the sad thing is you don't have the first clue as to how or why the dynamics of what we can and can't have changed. And you can pretend all you want there haven't been 4 OT games, which was improvement you want to pretend doesn't exist.
That said, coming off 0-16 football last year - could this defense afford to face KC without the following starters (or situational role players ) for significant portions or all game: Ward, Mitchell, Randall, Schobert, Gaines and Kirksey. Try playing someone in a game of chess where they can use all their attack pieces and you only get to use pawns and 1 attack piece (Garrett). Let me know how easy it is... Oh wait, you already did...
Last but not least, Gregg Williams was the DC of 2 Superbowl Teams (NO and TN) so he has a job in the NFL today while you're making Tacos.
