    Unfortunately, Mangini is probably going to get the axe which gives us pretty good odds of having a worse coach next year. Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.

    Is that possible?

    wrrebel, please refer to these 2 comments that i previously made in this thread:

    lowered expectations and settling for less are the things people like that live by.
    some browns fans are so pathetic that they'll except shit as long as it doesn't stink as bad as the shit they're used to.

    yeah, if holmgren's heroes decide to fire mangini and hire a new coach, it's going to be soooooo hard on them to find a new coach who can't do better than 2 pathetic back to back losing seasons filled with bad decision making, bad clock management, bad use of timeouts, playing not to lose, being predictable on offense, etc. 😒

    Sorry if some of us like to look at the big picture. Let me ask you this, do you honestly think that any coach could have came in to the mess that Mangini inherited and done a better job? He has established a good running game and is molding a pretty solid defense which has ranked as one of the worst in the league for quite some time. And while we still don't have the horses to pull the plow this team is in most games with a chance to win almost all of them due to these changes. You guys that thought that this would be a playoff team in 2 years are simply delusional. Frankly, not giving Mangini one more year is borderline Retarded.

  • i guess some fans are so starved for improvements that they'll accept anything that resembles an improvement. the bottom line is wins and losses and this team could've done better than it did if they had a competent coach who could humble himself and see the error of his ways. how much longer will we sit back and continue to make excuses for people who continue to refuse to make the necessary corrections to enable this team to rise above mediocrity??????

    p.s. mangini has been a horrible gameday coach since his days with the jets. he's heard all of the wisdom and hints that holmgren has made about his style of offense/overall coaching, yet he still does the same counterproductive crap on gameday. mangini is stubborn and he refuses to take the advice from vets who have been in it longer than he has and have been more successful than he has. all of these are negative qualities that will hinder a coach from being successful in the nfl. i'll say it again, mangini is his own worse enemy.

  • F**K all this shit! We should just bring back Art Modell 😉

  • @wrrebel said:

    Haha

    Its so weird huh?? They make it seem like we have jeff fisher as our coach and as soon as we fire him he will get picked up right away..

    "Which begs the question, what are they putting in the water in ohio?"

    they act like mangini has taken the browns to the afc championship game or something. help me out here, did i miss something? wow, some people are really falling in love with that mirage they're looking at.

    Yeah I think they are in love with him. That's the only way to explain it. Love is blind right?

    Let's just hope they make the right choice in who they hire next..

    you don't see the big picture. mangini is symbol without substance and yes i think there are coaches who could've gotten more out of this team than mangini did. mangini made alot of mistakes that contributed significantly to browns losses. you're in denial and you're the type of fan who will rip everybody on the team but mangini because you're a mangini homer. read every post i've made in this thread. i've answered all of your questions. if you still don't get it then that's your problem, not mine.

    as long as the shit doesn't smell as bad as the shit they're used to smelling, i guess they can live with it.

    did you see "the matrix"? do you remember that scene when cypher was sitting at the table with agent smith and he was saying he knows the steak he's eating isn't real yet he loves how it smells and tastes then said "ignorance is bliss"? that sums up the mindset of these mangini homers.

    Mediocrity? Where have you been the last 12 years? Listen, no one likes losing but after 12 years it is nice to see someone come in and tear down the dam while attempting to rebuild it properly rather than plug the holes with bubblegum. Anyone that has watched the team this year and can't see that there has been vast improvement really isn't paying attention. Also, I'm not making excuses for Mangini's mistakes. He has made a bunch. Today's clock management at the half was a pretty good example but if you think that you are going to avoid mistakes simply by replacing him you are being pretty obtuse. With any coach, you take the good with the bad.

  • I'm just sick of starting from scratch every 3-4 years. I just want to stick with a guy long term. Period. This changing of the guard routine needs to go.

    The problem is people drank so much of Manginis Piss theyre high on it...Manigini is a loser plain and simple...Yes Mangini is a nice guy and Im sure he has nice friends. There are coaches that are born with a winner mentality and there are those destined to mediocrity. Mangini is the latter...his refusal to make adjustments and use the clock wisely did him in. Injuries yes may have cost us some victories sure...But its up to the coach to use and prepare that talent to compete

    Heyy WRREBEL this is completely irrelevant and 100% off-topic, but I know you're pretty clever so I'll ask.

    My son's birthday is on Jan. 3 and I got him Xbox Live (he's 9.) Can you think of a Browns related username? I cannot think of anything clever or cool lol.. thankss

    imho, the front office is in place and you have a group of wisemen who have some great resumes and they'll be the ones who will be making the decisions from now on. i trust in guys like holmgren, haskel, heckert, etc. to make the right decisions. we've never had people like that in our front office since 99. that's the silver lining in this mess we now see. that makes me feel confident about the future. no one wants to start over, but you do what you have to do right now regardless of what happened prior to holmgren's heroes taking charge of browns hq. 😎

    This guy is by far the biggest baby on the board. Most people can just simply see the post and scroll there eyes down to the next one..

    Pizzadelivery boy, congrats for winning the 2010 bitch of the year...

  • I want a coach that is the face of our franchise.

    a coach that will be around for multiple years. 5 or more is preferable.

    a coach that plays to win when we have nothing to play for

    a coach that is willing to do anything to win.

    People who aren't from the Cleveland area (or Ohio) don't understand. Sports are more than entertainment. They can unite a city, give a city hope. Championships are won for your team, for your city, for your home.

  • 5-11, now 5-10, and a very bad day for coaching in Cleveland. This couldn't be any clearer: Mangini is gone.

    Best guess has Holmgren and Haskell making McCoy the triggerman of a WCO, a great scenario that sure as hell isn't "starting over" given that both guys are already here. We need at least two very serious WRs who can get open like Green Bay's WCO WRs do. It'll happen: One in the first round, another in free agency.

    The defense? Can't say for sure. But I feel pretty certain about Mangini heading out and the WCO heading in.

    I wouldn't mind holmgren at all..

    Our d worries me. I'm excited about ward and haden, but our dline and lbs need a whole new make over. Colman is old, bowen and barton should retire and trusnik should only be on special teams.

    Didn't mention schaffering, he should be given the guys gatorade on the sideline

    Ward, Elam, and Haden look very promising. What concerns me is the speed of our defense. I would looooooove to draft a linebacker like Dontay Moch from Nevada. Moch is 6'1", 245 lbs., and runs a 4.42.

  • One thing I hated about leading up to this game is Ray Lewis running his mouth and Hillis not saying anything.

    To me it shows that lack of swagger for the team, i want some one who is cocky and will back it up.. If it was me, i would have said " well lewis USE to be a good LB 5 years ago"

    Then I would have played like I WANTED to be on the field. I am not sure how hurt Hillis was but it seemed like Lewis really got into his head.

    Our team plays with no swagger at all.
