    Perhaps you could pay more attention to football instead of to sci-fi programs:

    Maybe...and that S better look like this:

    This   S  stood for Saleh in this game this afternoom.   Holding Dalvin Cook and the Vikes to like 25 yards rushing.   If  he can get our defense to play like that, that would be sweet.   Browns defense may not have all the horses that the 49ers defense  has, but they have some decent bones to work with....which Saleh may be able to harness.

    First steal John Lynch who understood that football is won in the trenches, starting with the DL.

    The Browns have started reference checks and working on permission on GM candidates, per sources. The plan all along has been to pick the coach, and find a GM to pair him with. So Cleveland's working on Step 2 of its process.

    First media reported White Smoke by Saturday? MKC, source must have forgot ?‍♂️ so her Smoke is Hoping on a Sunday announcement?  

    Heck, we still have some candidates playing ? and some who are not.. Us ? Fans will continue to watch football..While you getting paid media-heads continue rubbing 2 sticks together..

    Meanwhile,

    1) We can add a) Kevin Stefanski & b) Greg Roman to coaches that can* now be hired.. Nobody but Gary Kubiak, knows what Gary Kubiak is doing..Vikings forums are screaming for both of them to turn in their playbooks for coloring books.. c) off limits to hire remains Robert Saleh

    2) Safely we can confirm that the Browns want to speak to both Andrew Berry from Eagles. And Ed Dodds at Indy for the teams GM vacant spot..No news of when? so will update..

    RELAX!! Enjoy the Games today! There is always Next SunDay too..

    To Soon? Yikes!! https://brownszone.com/2020/01/12/commentary-browns-look-predictably-clueless-as-they-wander-through-coaching-search-without-a-pick/ 

    look up walking under bridge alert code yellow...  EDIT--- BROWNS HIRE KEVIN STEFANSKI ON 1-12-2020   

  • So, right now Stefanski is meeting with the existing coaches...and they expect to find out if they'll have a job or not by Friday.

  • Honestly, I think if Stefanski is smart, he’ll find an experienced play-caller to bring in and run the offensive side of the ball during games.  We saw firsthand last year that Freddie really struggled being the head coach AND the play-caller.  Not getting plays in on time, arguing with the refs, taking timeouts when we didn’t need to, people not being lined up correctly…the list goes on and on.

    One of the smartest things Stefanski said during his presser was when he said he wasn’t sure if he would call plays, and if he finds someone else that would be better at it, that person would do it.  Now, it’s one thing to SAY THAT and a completely different thing to actually LET someone do it, but in my mind…he’d be wise to find an experienced play-caller so he could focus on being the coach. 

  • One thing that came to my mind... It would be awesome the Browns where the team where Luke Kuechly started his coaching career as LB position coach. Smartest player on the position, he could very well end up being a good DC. 

    Having Wade Phillips could be a huge attraction. I don't know how crazy this sounds and how viable it is, but I'm just fantasizing with the idea after reviewing some of his highlights.

    Would work for me... but if Luke wanted to coach I would think he'd be most likely to join Rivera's staff in DC.

    One name I heard mentioned a few days ago for our LBs was HOFer Mike Singletary. Got his start as one... and by all accounts was a damn good one... and rose quickly to become HC in SF where he flamed out pretty quickly

    True dat. I truly think Stefanski can fake it til he makes it. Something about him.

    If he actually is smart, then he'll delegate such that calling plays will not adversely impact the team on game day... and that may or may not require having another call the plays.

  • I think Stefanski explained it very well in his presser.  'You could see me on the sideline not talking to anyone....I'm thinking...getting information in my headset...picking the next play for the situation....getting it in to the QB.....You're very busy' .  (said something of that nature)   So yes, ideally we'd like him to give all of that to an OC, leaving himself time to manage the game.  But,...he WAS an OC.  (albeit for less than 2 seasons)  And supposedly people liked his play calling.  -  I think it's hard, once you've got the play calling 'bug', to give it up.    

    I'm hoping our new DC doesn't want to be changing the body types of our front 7.  I'd like to tweak and add this offseason...and not rip apart and retool.  It takes up too many draft picks.  We already need most of our OL to be upgraded upon.

  • Two GM interviews set for today for our vacant GM job..

    #1. Andrew Berry at Eagles-- Found the Browns exit door's as soon as Dorsey walked in..  Do you (or Jimmy) trust Berry will think Dorsey's building pieces are worthy?

    #2. Monti Ossenfort at Patriots (scout)-- At first of hearing this name.. I thought Jimmy opened a New England area phone book & pointed at a name ? (he won't know of me)

    Than comes the conflicting reports of who might make sense if Stefanski had any influence in choosing a aligning GM... Vikings-- George Paton

    reports were this weekend as Browns 3rd GM candidate... now undecided to interview... OR>> (AKA- scared to death of Jimma function)

    Are we aligning to Paul's 2nd home Depo Stop? or does your new Coach have any real influence?     stay tuned...

  • I've heard conflicting reports about Andrew Berry's player evaluation talents.

    And General Paton has declined GM interviews before....so.....Haslam's gang would make a good candidate for another declined interview.  

  • FWIW, Monken is gone, took job as offensive coordinator at Georgia....
