  • Just heard that it wouldn’t be surprising if Stefanski keeps Wilks, guess he was the DC he would have brought on last year if he had gotten the job.

    not sure if I like that or not. He had a couple really good schemed games (Baltimore @ Balt. was a great defense) but then he got beat by Duck and some Denver QB that hadn’t taken a snap. I guess he can’t run on the field and tackle and cover players himself though. 
     

    might be nice to keep him on... No massive changes needed. 
     

    meh. Whateves

    He had absolutely NO answer after   Garrett got suspended.  Failed to adapt....and as someone said:   tackling was atrocious. 

    Hard pass.

    Why not offer him the job he might take it

    He can't.

    That's what "No lateral moves" means.

    Either The team quit on Wilks or his scheme is awful or both.  There was time before Christmas I thought he would be the fall guy and get axed and Freddie would stay on for one year.

    i think there is a .0001% chance that Wilks is in Cleveland

    Man.... I don’t know if Wilks is all that bad.

    His all pro DE center piece of his defense gets bounced. The only other pass rusher on the other side of the ball (Vernon) can’t stay on the field, Your GM traded away any DE depth you had for a worthless safety and a 4th round pick leaving you with no names,  half the games Ward played this year he looked like he couldn’t cover a JV WR, Redwine looked lost out there at times....

    Not going to say I’ll be upset if they move on, but I’ll take Wilks defense over Ray Horton or O’Neil’s

    He could if he is not under contract

    I hate to even THINK it, but I have an awful feeling that Wilks may be retained. ?

    Kubiak's son could be the QB coach ......... Mike McDaniels as OC  .... if true we did end up hiring McDaniels

    George Paton is being interviewed for OC.    Seriously,  George Paton.

    The players damned well better listen to him;

    This George Paton  (one t)  is currently asst. GM for the Vikings.   He and Stefanski have worked together for the Vikings for 13 years.

    If this is a case of the coach picking the GM,   then that would make some sense.

    Was that the case in KC as well? 🙂

    I guess "mutual decision to part ways" doesn't mean what it used to...

    Again....goes back to who is interviewing who?  Are the Browns interviewing  him for GM, or is he interviewing them for whether or not he would want to work here again.   If he has multiple options, as you seem to indicate, I would say it is the latter.

    "I've also been told the respect John Dorsey carries in the scouting circles is something that has impacted how many potential GMs feel/would have felt about taking an interview." 

    Well, Maybe both of the above reports have a lot to do with the George Paton consideration. While maybe few others may want to come here, Paton may want to continue working with his long time colleague, Stefanski.

    To be fair, Fox was tweeting late last night that he thinks Berry will take the Browns GM job.
