    doesnt it seem odd to anyone that haslem would do his presser in the middle of McCarthy interview

    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.

    per haslem pick the head coach first then the coach will have input on who the gm will be and both will report to haslem,sound familiar

    yes it does and Until Haslem becomes just a blank check we are doomed. 

  • 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?

    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.

    that was from the radio show Browns Daily  

    the interview for Roman is set for tonight

  • 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 

  • 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!

  • No denying he had success in GB.

    Also no denying that he failed miserably his final two seasons there, grew to be at odds with his star QB and finally lost the team.

    I'm a firm pass...

    And you're getting the entire package, not just Mike.... After Rivera- I suppose McCarthy is next on the list of "hot" HC candidates. We got one of those "Hot" guys a few years ago- the Huebatross. Of course McCarthy's resume is a tad better than Jackson's.

    I wasn't going to respond but I had to. This is why the Browns can't have nice things, judging a guy for stuff that happened with some other team. Two totally different scenarios, two totally different teams, people learn from their mistakes and grow. This is why I get so frustrated with the Browns fanbase, you're not willing to trust a guy like McCarthy with the proven track record he has but would be all for bringing in another promising coordinator because that has worked out so well for the Browns. Whether you like it or not, he IS the best candidate AVAILABLE. I don't want some college coach, or some coordinator from some successful team, I want a guy who knows how to run a team.

    Fuck, this franchise and fanbase is the very definition of insanity and it makes it hard to be a fan. As long as the Browns continue this same process they will be stuck in eternal purgatory. No thanks on that and I will be taking a break until they get a real coaching staff which will probably be never as long as Jimmy Haslam owns the team.

    🙂 I get your point but- IIRC the number of coaches who have won Super Bowls with different teams is zero.

    See, there's that insanity I am talking about (no offense) Let's just make it to the playoffs before we start talking about Super Bowls. I am not looking for Bill Belichick numbers, I would be happy if we can get the team to hover around 8-8, 9-7 range consistently. At least give us a chance to make the playoffs every year then a Super Bowl would be a bonus. McCarthy would get us to that consistent level to where all we need to do is add a piece here or there and we are contenders. Again, McCarthy has the resume to give him multiple years to build the team, you just can't give that kind of leash to some coordinator because the cycle will repeat itself. You have to crawl before you can walk and the Browns can't do anything at this point in time. McCarthy is the right coach at the right time. Hopefully somebody out there understands what I'm trying to say.
