    Here is a clue for you:   you are talking to yourself.  Why?  Because you have not talked football the last month or so.  You seem to be only on here to whinge about me.   But, sorry, I don't love you like you want me to.   And no one else cares about your obsession of me.    Whatever life you have outside of thinking about everything I say....good luck to you.  

    He only brings it up- because there's somefact in what he's saying.

    Absolutely- and that's you perennially chasing your tail spinning history to suit your view of it.

    There may be, if you can get through  9 paragraphs of BS.

    Larry, I haven't even read like his last 5 posts.  That is why I put the memes on there.   All he had been doing is worrying  and obsessing about what I say. 

    I will stick by my view of history....Bottom line, if you and he think the Colts in 1968 are considered to have been the Champions of Football.....go ask Don Shula, Unitas, Morrall, etc. if they think the same thing.   (Shula turned 90 yesterday....at least he is still alive to ask.  I think I know what his answer would be)

  • When two people on here go at it, I mean really go at it, and both insult Captain BoneSpurs, we all win.

    Clearly they are not polyboard material.?

    BTW McCarthy is off the board - headed for Dallas NFL Net reports this morning.

  • So now who is out there with head coaching experience? I'm sick of coordinators. So here we go again.

    I've actually coming around to the idea of McCarthy being the head coach. Saw his interview and it appears the year off ...

    The year off bothers me... it wasn't as if it was by his choice. Plus he sat around with his coordinators??? Not much demand for them either?

    @icecube said:

    Did you read about how Eric studies every play in so much detail that he knows every player's role for every play? He said he does this so he doesn't let anyone down. Freddie did nothing along the sort. Browns mirrored Freddie - loosey goosey, sloppy, ghastly short on attention to detail. A complete joke. As the season went along, it became painfully obvious just how sloppy FK was. 

    While you may be right about Freddie (although I doubt it), Bienemy's approach s the norm, not the exceptional. Most plays have strategic goals be it attacking a weakness, or flooding a zone or pounding a DL and from that goal all the tactical moves fall... blocking assignments, routes, etc. It ain't rocket science and it doesn't require memorization.

    Ever seen a QB white board session like what Gruden used to do with the top prospects in each Draft and wonder how the prospect could regurgitate a pass play he was shown 15 minutes earlier? It starts with recognizing the goal of the play.

    I actually see the year off as a benefit.  
    Cooling off period.  Mental reset.  He coached 13 years with one team.  
     

    He didn’t just take any job either.  He’s weighed options obviously.  Followed football from a different perspective.  
     

  • McCarthy to the Boys...wow that was quick 

  • We figured that wasn't happening when he stayed a couple days down there. So we are fighting with Carolina for Mike Daniels? After that it's Mike Pettine volume two

    Yep. This. 

    Although.... I will say I think I like Mike as a coach the most out of the last 6 we had.... dude got saddled with that drunk midget and Farmer.

    Chill, although McCarthy studied analytics for a year I don't think he would've aligned well in this organization. McDaniels is a better fit among the former head coaches and I read he's interviewing today.

    Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking too. I guess my worry with a younger coach is whether or not he can command the locker room. Being a Bill disciple, perhaps McDaniels knows a thing or two about discipline and keeping a team together...at least that's my hope. I have a feeling that our team was a bigger cluster chicken than we even thought, so perhaps the right coach can unlock our potential.

    I was nervous after the Haslem press conference.  Secretly there has to be a lot of self doubt entering his mind. 
    He’s running out of excuses- if you keep hiring the wrong guy it eventually comes back on you and it’s not a shame on them as much as it becomes a shame on you.

    Have you seen him talk to Tom Brady? I'm not worried about that, only thing I'm worried about is spygate lingering around that organization and if he can coach independently of that.

    Took a Tebow lead team to the playoffs and somehow beat Pittsburgh I believe.

    Yes, he did.   But then fired about  2/3rd through the following season. 

  • McCarthy to the Cowboys. Browns miss out on another quality HC due to Haslam's incompetence. Time for the mods to take this thread behind the woodshed and put it out of it's misery.

    Yep. So he should be signed by this evening or... or fried chicken and apple pie from Aunt Bee will change his mind when he gets to Carolina...

    I would say that they only "missed" out on him if they actually ever had any intention of really wanting him.   It seems they did want to interview him...but were NOT particularly interested in signing him....other wise they would have put the bum's rush on him, which they didn't do.  But Jerry Jones apparently did.   I believe they had their sights set elsewhere. 

    There seemed to be no support for his hiring in any quarter of the Browns FO.   Now, the question is....as has been discussed....will there be a bifurcation of opinion on the other candidates.   Will Depodesta push hard for someone (Stefanski maybe) that the owners don't prefer because they have their own preferred candidate (McDaniels?)

    I’m always nervous when Jimmy speaks. 

    He has NO IDEA what he’s doing
