Browns to interview McCarthy
-
I may be too simple of a man but a little research on Mike McCarthy shows that in 12 seasons in Green Bay he was 135-85-2. Included in that record is a 10-8 playoff record with one Super Bowl championship.
The Browns have won 47 games since 1999. Should one count the Browns last 18 playoff games, they would have to go back to 1968. I don't care if it was the NFC North.
Why would any fan be against such a hire? What have we really to lose as fans? We tried the next genius on the coaching tree, a couple times. We tried the lightening in a bottle offensive-minded du jour a time or two. We tried the defensive guy. We had a disciplinarian, he was not retained. We tried the up and coming offensive mind diamond in the rough. Remember when we were all afraid someone might snatch Freddie up? We even let a rookie have his input in the process.
How about a guy that just wins?
Let's not over complicate and over analyze. That road, in my opinion, has not previously worked.

Spot on with “trying the next genius on the coaching tree.”
I would like the next guy to try to win with the core we have but with slight modifications to personnel. When Dorsey was fired my first reaction was well here we again with 50% roster turnover. If Depo is really in charge I have to think we keep the core and modify some of the fringe pieces.
all I want in the next HC is a proven LEADER and I think with this team that leader needs to have a proven record. And next this HC needs to really make three key hires OC and DC of course but the QB coach very important to get inside Bakers mechanics and head.

Correct me if am wrong here ?.. Browns 1st interview is with McCarthy like Tomorrow* 'Thursday' .. than i see reports only interviewing Robert Saleh in san fran this* weekend? (and yes Jimmy your flying to me) Meanwhile Skins have a coach & signed a decent D cord & somehow we have 8 to 10 more interviews to have? This year is off to a banging start..Tia, Can ya get a crew together to run our defense?
Tia, Can ya get a crew together to run our defense?
I would be happy just working on personnel. But I have some phone calls to make if you're insisting.
Going to be weird explaining my defensive motto to ownership and managment though...

I don’t know if that’s the case I thought the interview took place already.
It’s more of a concern That we are picking the coach and not having a GM direct the efforts gonna be interesting power struggle I guess or they will go with a young and up and comer that doesn’t care. -

Well, the Redskins had weeks to interview head coaches and Rivera has by far the best resume... There's a couple guys we want to talk to- but can't because they have playoff games this week... What's worse is not doing due diligence. And I'm on record hiring the coach first and then the GM is a BAD idea, as well as both reporting directly to Jimmy.

It is highly possible from what I have heard that the Brown WILL be going with the " HC in charge" model. That in essence, the HC will be the boss of the GM.....which I guess can and has worked. BB and NE operate that way. a
I think it works that way in KC with Reid at the forefront. It would not surprise me if it is that way in New Orleans.
Someone mentioned SFO.
Anywhere else?

What did you hear? (or did you listen) & who/what is SFO?... in presser, Jimmy maintains the HC will name the gameday 46..while the GM will control the 53..McDaniels is to interview next Friday..Do you think he will show with that cat out of the bag?? nobody in this room, can't avoid talking to much to media including this fine coaching hiring staff
Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends -
Ok, we have gotten past the interview with an experienced & successful HC (McCarthy). Now it's on to the IMPORTANT interviews....the Coordinators who have NOT been successful HCs, are young & will learn on the job with this very young team...seems to be the formula for all the FAILED HCs the Haslams have hired to date, so why not follow that trend?

Maybe I just assumed that because it looks like the HC will be hired first, and then the GM......that the HC would be in charge. I think/thought that the HC would be able to hire "his guy" at GM....making the HC the superior of the GM. But as some have pointed out the Haslam's are apparently going back to the tried and failed model of HC/GM equal authority of reporting to the owner.

But Haslam explained that there won't be any friction with both the HC and GM reporting to him (unlike before) BECAUSE THE NEW HC AND GM WILL BE BEST BUDS AND THEY'LL HAVE SLEEP OVERS AND MAKE SMORES!

ugh....hate the idea of MM.
He is way too conservative and doesn't understand risk/reward, point expectation charts, etc
He SINGLEHANDEDLY lost the nfc championship game in Seattle some years ago with numerous terrible decisions. He kicked two field goals at the 1 yard line in the 1st quarter. That's terrible and not defensible. Then, as if that weren't bad enough, with 4-5 minutes in the game GB had the ball up 11(?) and he ran the ball into the line 3 straight times. Didn't even try to get a first down.....with prime Aaron Rodgers. GB punted and the next time they touched the ball they were behind.
I do not want the coach responsible for that coaching malpractice to coach the Cleveland Browns.

Don't worry he walked without taking an offer. He will be announced as the Giants HC soon.

He lost the NFC Championship game. So he won more playoff games that season than the Browns have won in decades. Man... who wants that round here!
