    Report: Urban Meyer Has 'Strong Interest' from Browns for Head Coach Position

  • I’m surprised so many Browns fans would be against a great HC/leader who also happens to have grown up in Ashtabula.. about an hour from Cleveland. 
    Meyer would make sense. 

  • Please god no...

    This batshit bitch will hang himself in the showers during halftime of the first game.

    How can it not be? I have a feeling today's Citrus Bowl is important to his future.

    You told me you like art for setting up the current Afcn. That’s when I lost my respect for you. Get any mirrors as gifts?

    You don’t remember the tarmac meet? Or how artsy farts was the nfl owner that lost money? Or telling me how much adoration you have for him setting up the afcn as it is. 
    the nfl was going to take the team from your hero for the way he bled money.  You admire him but aren’t a fan.... lol

    So, the claim is that Art Modell set up the current AFCN?  Actually, I think the division is set up the way it is in spite of Art, not because of him.  He hated Paul Brown and wanted no part of Brown in his division...but the league insisted.

    The league put the Browns and the Ravens together simply for the reason that they wanted the drama and the conflict of those teams playing together. I think Art had fuck all to do with it. 

    The Steelers/Browns rivalry predates Modell.....and really, it was more Art Rooney agreeing to move to the AFC in 1970 that created the predecessors of the AFCN.  Modell moved for the money....Rooney moved for the good of the league.

    Your only theory of Art being responsible is that it was his ineptness as an owner that set forces in play that led to the creation of the AFCN....he certainly did not do any pre-planning to accomplish this.   Like I said, it happened in spite of him, not because of him.

    Why would he waste his time with such a crap organization like the Browns? I'm guessing this interest is very one sided

    The Cleveland Browns like any of the other 32 teams is no small operation maybe run differently than some others but a big "corporation" in itself.  Just scroll down and see what is involved in making the BROWNS tick.  https://www.vegasinsider.com/live-odds/line-originator/nevada

    The first two names on that list are also the two biggest reasons to run from this team. 

    I'd certainly love to see him coaching for any team I root for, but I just don't think the odds are in the Browns' favor

  • I am afraid that if the Haslams got ahold of Urban Meyer they would turn him into Rural Meyer

    You would almost have to have a coach with NFL experience.

    For some reason we are selecting the coach first who will then have considerable input on the GM selected.  
     

    anyone see a problem with a college coach (never coached at the NFL level) directing or giving considerable input in the decision to hire an NFL GM.

    Anyone see a problem with a GM AND a HC reporting to the owner?

    It didn’t work for Pettine & Farmer...I highly doubt it’s going to work this time around.

  • @flyingfooldoug said:

    So, the claim is that Art Modell set up the current AFCN?  Actually, I think the division is set up the way it is in spite of Art, not because of him.  He hated Paul Brown and wanted no part of Brown in his division...but the league insisted.

    The league put the Browns and the Ravens together simply for the reason that they wanted the drama and the conflict of those teams playing together. I think Art had fuck all to do with it. 

    The Steelers/Browns rivalry predates Modell.....and really, it was more Art Rooney agreeing to move to the AFC in 1970 that created the predecessors of the AFCN.  Modell moved for the money....Rooney moved for the good of the league.

    Your only theory of Art being responsible is that it was his ineptness as an owner that set forces in play that led to the creation of the AFCN....he certainly did not do any pre-planning to accomplish this.   Like I said, it happened in spite of him, not because of him.

    Not my theory. Tour is the art modell admirer here. He claims art set up the afcn as it is now and loves him for it

    I heard the same report.   I would rule him out for sure.

    Well....Art was good.....originally....setting up a lot of things that held sway in the NFL for some years...or at least helping to do so.  Though, things that may have seemed eleeomosynary on his part,   like the move to the AFC,  were more motivated by an immediate payment of cash to him rather that it being for the good of the league, even if it was good for the league.  But later, it was all about just bad  financial management on his part. Did Art have a desire to win?  I have no doubt about that.   He just had not much of a clue how to set it up so that the team was successful  both  financially and on the field wise.  When it was clear to everyone else that he jumped the shark in his ability to run an NFL team, like the Producers of Happy Days....he turned what was originally Happy Days into  Pathetic, Suckotage Days.

    You are in serious need of remedial reading. Here's proof...

    @tour2ma said:

    Not a fan of Modell by any stretch, but pissing on his "grave"? No... I draw the line at "Jump, Art! JUMP!"

    As for the Ravens... They are a natural rival given our history... and I love rivalries. What other team shares a division with three, true rivals? Where two rivals, CIN and BLT, were made off the playing field? It's been 20 years, but we are finally approaching the full realization of all those rivalries on the field.

    Who can we thank for setting up our unique division? Art...

    I love it...

    Actually what Jimmah just said is... "Right now, we are just focusing on people with NFL experience.” Smacks of Jimmah feeling like he has Urban in his backpocket.

    So the question becomes... how long is right now?

    It didn’t work for Pettine & Farmer...I highly doubt it’s going to work this time around.

    I don't remember it being a huge issue with Pet and Farmer. Now Hue and Sashi... huge issue.

    But this time giving the new HC a role in choosing his GM has the possibility of mitigating any problems.
