McCarthy?

I'm starting to have some doubts about Williams as DC.

Do you want him to stay for continuity sake or do you like the job he's done as DC?

Same. I like he got the D gets takeaways but I don't think he's the guy who can take the D to an elite level. CLE doesn't stop the pass or run at a high level under him and you have to be great atleast at one to be a legit defense especially pass since passing numbers are crazy these days.

He's a likable person but I'll take results with a new guy versus keeping a guy because I like his personality.

It is hard for me to warm up to McCarthy. I am hoping for something a little fresher.

Their issue is chemistry, they've lost it, and one has to go....could you imagine the fan base reaction if they got rid of Rodgers? Nothing wrong with McCarthy.

Browns Daily reported yesterday that Sam Wyche Tweeted or wrote that McCarthy will NOT be coaching the Browns. I'm not sure where he got his info from, and they didn't divulge, but it's music to my ears. I just finished listening to Gregg Williams' press conference, and I remain impressed. I've never really listened to coach's pressers before, but I always listen to every single one of his. I enjoy what he has to say, and while he doesn't pull any punches, he's always respectful and polite. I'm starting to turn into a Gregg Williams believers, and I can see why players seem to like playing for him. I really hope we get back to winning this weekend, and I think we actually will.

I thought you were kidding. Urban really is retiring after the Rose Bowl. He's made enough in his coaching career to retire to broadcasting.

He did it before.

Lord knows though he's made enough to retire several times over......it's not the money. Will he return? Maybe, maybe not.

Back to mccarthy, i wouldnt be horribly against it. Is he a def or offense guy? If he was offense and had a good deal to do with overseeing the passing game.....im all for it.

OK I am watching the City documentary on Netflix and - since then - watch them. A NY station replays all their games on Tuesday.

Of course, some teams - like City - have $$$Billions to spend.

Some of the $$ he even earned honestly. In his very distant past of course.

Yea he is rich, but it ain’t always about $$.

I’m really just wishful thinking. I’ll admit I am homering out because my grandma’s cottage is in Ashtabula.

When I originally posted about Meyer, I was posing the question:

Is he a Browns fan?

I’d take Meyer to coach this young team for the next 3-5 years.

Meyer has a brain cyst that causes severe migraines under stress. I can understand why he is retiring but as an Ohio State fan I hate to see him leave. Barring some medical breakthrough I doubt if he coaches again but my guess is he will probably work a less stressful job behind a microphone in the future.

They’re more of a mafia than a football club. They’re owned by a state the UAE and have circumvented all the fair play rules to ensure they stay at the top. See investigation below

My club only really spends the money the club earns itself and has a team made up of mainly young English players. We’ve been very good for a few years but can never compete with the likes of Man City. Them and the likes of PSG and Chelsea have ruined the game unfortunately. It’s not a fair playing field at all.

Apologies to the soccer haters for the above ?

I feel for ya. Here in the states, major league baseball is the same way, another reason that I don't follow it much. The Yankees and similar teams have the resources to buy up all the top talent.

Don’t get me wrong in the 80s early 90s we were a richer club than most and have bought players because of it but it was on a much lesser scale. We nearly went bust whereas City will neve run out of of cash.

On the above note yesterday we tried to get tickets for the Red Sox Yankees here in London next year. Somehow there was none left and they’re mostly on resale sites at inflated prices already.

Is it a problem you have over there because we do with any events like this or concerts etc

Sorry if this has been beaten to death. If so, I hope the Administer pulls this post or - at least - merges with an ongoing dialogue.

Who will be the next Browns' coach?

Although it seems that the current guy has a good chance of getting the full-time gig, Dorsey has lots of contacts across the league (Green Bay, Seattle, Kansas City).

Given his success with putting points on the board - i.e. giving Mayfield what he needs to become a premier NFL QB - his experience in cold weather, AND his Green Bay roots with Dorsey), I believe Mike McCarthy will be given strong consideration for the HC position.

Opening up myself to lost of criticisms, etc. I state the Mike McCarthy - assuming he leaves GB - should be the next Browns HC.

Let's start (or continue) a discussion.

noooooooooooooooo.

i don't know.....he seemed to be heading in a downward spiral....i'd look around a little longer to see what other options exist....

I think he'd suck behind a mic... really boring style.

Given Urban's failed previous retirement this thought crossed my mind today...

Urban Myers : Browns Special Teams Coordinator/ Asst. Head Coach

You know he loves his STs and keeping him a step removed from HC should take enough pressure off of him without him completely leaving the game.
