  • So tell me guys how I'm going to explain my friends with whom I watched the 49ers game yesterday that the atrocious offense that lead us to have a conversation to distract us from the game was coached by a guy... 

    And that my team decided to hire that guy as a head coach.

    The serious answer to this, I guess, would be:   A.  One game does not an entire career make.   B. The defensive guy had a lot more better horses to work with than the offensive guy...which is probably true   C.  This guy got Kirk Cousins to perform well, and actually win a playoff game.  Something no one else could ever do.    And D......use the reason that the committee that chose him probably used:   The analytics said that he is the right man for the job....even if we cannot explain what those analytics are.

    QB guru, “leader of men”

    Didn’t his offense get 4 first downs and 3 points in the final 3 quarters yesterday?

    Yes, not looking like a "guru" but let's see how this pans out.

    First, SF put the clearly superior team on the field. They got both Dee Ford and Kwan Alexander back at just the right time and both made their presence felt. There's only so much any Coach can overcome.

    Second, an OC can do nothing about a muffed punt or an 8-play, TD drive with all 8 plays on the ground.

  • Color me unimpressed... The Baseball guy won... Now he can put the Browns back into tank mode.. after all the miraculous work Dorsey did in a short period...you can bet DePoop will tear it down.... I still see dark days ahead...

    DePoop has far too much control...

  • At least, I think, we have this going for us with this hire:     Very low expectations.    Clearly no one here is jumping up and down with enthusiasm and anticipation of a great season ahead.   Anything better than a 6-10 season will seem like a major positive accomplishment.

    Fair to say?

    You mean the analytics guy that everyone in the front office was ignoring until the team continued to be dysfunctional?

    I don’t think it’s official. NFL.com says “Browns planning to hire” and ESPN is reporting it as breaking news.

    At this point it's more like an officially confirmed intent.

    Likely the offer's been verbally made and accepted in principle with details on paper to be signed soon.

    Sounds like it's done.

    I'd bump it up to 9-7 as minimum to feeling like an accomplishment.

    I would say playoffs, or bust.
    We just gotta chill out with the super bowl talk and hopefully keep the team focused on a week to week basis. No distractions.

  • If the Browns had to have a motto to accompany this hire, it would be something like: 

    KEVIN STEFANSKI FOR HEAD COACH: AT LEAST HE ISN'T BRIAN DABOLL!

    Well if the Browns hired DUMBOLL.. It's would've been a PR disaster on all fronts... I'm glad it wasn't him.. But.. I have little confidence in this hiring..

    Between Freddie’s “coaching” and the defensive scheme.  I’d hope we can be at least a .500 team taking out the two factors above

    Right....I am saying that anything around .500 would be that.

    What are we going to talk about now?   Hmmmmm. Oh yeah the draft.

  • huh

  • Let's ask this question: 

    Was this whole  massive search for a new HC   just a dog and pony show?   Was it predetermined once Freddie was hired and Depo was put in charge that Stefanski was the choice...because he was HIS choice from last year?   Were hauling in the 8 names in here just a song and dance, and once Stefanski was free he was going to get the job anyway?   Hell, why not do it like the Cowboys:  bring in one nominal black face to suffice the Rooney rule, then make your hire.

    I think, if I were  McDaniel, Saleh, Roman, etc. etc. that is how I would probably feel about it.

    I know I'm thrilled at the idea of these guys running the Browns drafts again! 

    (Goddamn it, how do you make posts pink again?) ?

  • ...ok....onward and upward with Stefanski then.    To infinity, and beyond/
