Browns to interview McCarthy
-
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?
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.

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

Missed out due to incompetence?
Haslam could certainly be incompetent, but MM also went to a better organization. In fact, that organization is valued as the most valuable team in the world.
There is a reason why guys schedule multiple interviews. The same reason free agents visit multiple teams (aside from the tiny amount like LBJ who are going to go to a team no matter what).
And along with Daniels, McDaniels, Pettine, you can also add Garrett.

A look at the Cowboy's perspective from a Browns fan. Jerrah jumped in head first into the deep water without interviewing anyone else. I caught the big fish- great for publicity. And Jones is all about making a big splash.
BTW- doing a little Wiki research- the last "big name" HC of the Cowboys- Bill Parcells was OK- but hardly on the Bill B. level, three years and a record of 34-30 no playoff wins. May history repeat itself for South America's Team.
My feeling? The Browns probably told Mike- we like you, but we're doing more interviews with other candidates.... I don't call it Haslam incompetence- just looking at the complete selection of fish before they haul one in. Due diligence isn't incompetence. Sure, one got away, unless you (and the Browns) are 100% certain McCarthy was the best possible choice. They (Cleveland) had to know the odds were pretty good if they didn't offer Mike a blow you away deal then and there, he'd probably land another HC gig with another team quickly.
