    Best possible outcome for Browns fans, we can finalize the interview process make a decision and target assistants instead of waiting a few more weeks.

    It DOES clear the way to see if McDaniels will BE the next coach....so there's no waiting around and perhaps missing out on their 2nd choice.

    I dunno....I think they have thunk of it....I just don't know that they could do it on a regular basis.   There have been some games that the Browns put away with the run.     Of course, we have not been in the position to put away a playoff game with a run.  (Actually, that is not true....ONE more first down in that 2002 playoff game vs. Pitt would have given us the win...but we couldn't run the clock down...and it took a drop by Northcutt to let the Steelers have the ball where they then scored the winning TD.   If they could have blown the SS's out with the run...they could have won.  But a 3rd down pass...didn't work.)

  • Gip, please don't remind me of Northcutt's drop of a perfect 1st down, playoff game winning, pass....against, of all teams, the Steelers.  Now I'm going to bed pissed off again.

    Sorry man.   I am just pointing out that on that potential game winning drive, if the Browns could have run the ball down the Steelers throats they would not have had to have attempted that pass that got dropped. 

    Who were our RBs in that game?  I don't think we had Jamal Lewis yet....nor William Green...unless that was his rookie year.  Don't recally.

    No, I didn't mean that. Once Stefanski and McDaniels are interviewed this week, the interviews will be completed and a decision made. I'm not too keen on McDaniels as I've said before the owners just need to find a winning coach. On paper a lot of people thought Hue was the best candidate at the time, Kitchens was a risk but made sense from a continuity standpoint for Baker and we see how both turned out. The Browns is the Haslam's toy let them figure it out.

    Looks like the Raiders... as we would have been lower seed than NYJ who ended up going to OAK.

    The decision will be Stephanski. His bio compared to McDaniels is a no-brainer. I hate to see the Vikings win again, but so be it.

    And, I'd hope Kris Richard ends up on the staff. DC ?
