  • HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S NEW YEARS?        THE BROWNS HAVE A NEW HEAD COACH!    BA-DUM!

    Another year of newness.  New HC, GM, DC, OC (or not), position coaches, new playbook, new, new, new, right down to the uniforms.  Yup, new uni's too....BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET ANYTHING AT ALL RIGHT......EVER!

    I mean, WHAT are the odds?   That Haslam hired the right coach, the right GM and fixed the uniforms ,  ALL IN THE SAME OFFSEASON?   

    .......I better have a Snickers bar and go to bed.

  • Ian Rapoport

    The #Vikings are turning to a familiar face for their new OC: Gary Kubiak, who has been an assistant head coach and offensive advisor, is taking over as the offensive coordinator, sources say. His impact was felt quickly in Minnesota and now he sticks around.

    Makes sense, for them.   They lost Stefanski, and Zimmer is a defense oriented guy.    I just thought maybe he could get that same job here.

    lol. Except, if the right guy isn't available, why just add a guy who ends up not working out? The

    Browns have been burnt by this. Get the right OC, even if you have to wait to get him.

    Coaches all strike me as no-brainers, so it's good Stef is getting those right. Best "get" to date, if indeed he is "gotten" in principle, has to be Callahan.

    GM search? Top two seem to be balking... Berry leery of Haslam and Paton leery of Depo reporting to Haslam.

    Agree. This feels like a "Kubiak ain't coming" alternative. Plus in an age of Pass/run game coordinators it feels like the OC is optional when you have a playcalling HC.

  • Did George Paton go to Senior Bowl week at all?  I wonder...

    That might tell you a lot right there.

    Good OC and DC at the P5 college schools can make $500k to $1M+.  Good NFL ones over $1M+ and starting HC around $5M+. (it's hard to get exact numbers on them).

    For most in the coaching profession the NFL job is the final stop, the dream job.  In Cleveland it's become a revolving door.

    Kubiac is already a proven coach to the Viks ownership and with our idiot, that means nothing. Job security on the level that Kubiac wants to coach. He could easily have become someone's HC, but he's been there and did not really like it. Too stressful.

  • So?  WTF is going on?   Paton has been in twice for interviews.  Berry has been in.   Monti WTFever has been in, it seems like weeks ago. 

    Are the Browns waiting on another name to surface?   If so, Who?

    Are they considering someone who is still working with the 2 SuperBowl teams? 

    Are they just taking 3 days to work out contract terms? 

    Does anyone have a clue?  As it certainly seems like the Browns do not.   (but I guess that would be typical Haslam)

    Is Depo on vacation and are they waiting for him to come back?

    Kubiac's real job protecting the big asset in town.

    From twincities.com.   https://www.twincities.com/2020/01/23/report-vikings-hire-veteran-coach-gary-kubiak-as-offensive-coordinator

    ......As much as Cook took his game to the next level in the zone scheme, no doubt the top priority for Kubiak now that he’s the man in charge will be continuing to get the most out of quarterback Kirk Cousins, who will be entering the final year of his fully guaranteed three-year, $84 million contract.....

    Kirk Cousins a FULLY GUARANTEED $84,000,000 contract?  Really?  Oh yeah I hope Gary Kubiac is well compensated for his work.

    Just 1% of the $84M would be $840,000 mind blowing at times.

    Every HC or OC's main job is to get the most out of their starting QB.   Nothing new or enlightening about that.
