    If Holmgren uses the word patience one time we will know what he expects to happen.

    Contending, because the Browns were in every game they played, cept for the last one...

    they had some great wins over their best competition...

    all they need is some added pieces and those close losses turn into wins.

    A real aggressive OC would be a huge plus.

    The desperate to fill list is pretty short now.

  • I said contending because i say screw rebuilding. Homie and Heck are here, so there is no rebuilding for them. Their clock is still ticking. No start overs as far as I am concerned.

    Other teams turn it around in a year or two.....time for us to expect the same.

    Whenever you change coaches, you are rebuilding. Just one of the 30 reasons we should have kept Mangini. 10 more years of mediocrity instead of 1.

  • Obviously, we need to see how the offseason unfolds.

    At this moment, any of our defensive front 7 would have find it difficult to get playing time for Baltimore or Pittsburgh (other than Fujita). That's a problem that needs to get fixed.

    i think Rubin would get a lot of time. and a healthy and motivated Rogers would start (you probably disagree IIRC). i know what you're saying though.

    Changes are a comin we have a newbie as a head coach taking over for a 5 year perma-newbie in mangini, oh boy am i unimpressed with this choice..

    Mangini had loser ingrained in his very fabric, this guy has loser tattooed on his face..

    Maybe its time to truly consider going with a team that has an owner and FO that knows how to win instead of calling in favors for friends at my expense..

    Then leave. All I have seen from you and half the other people on this board is negative bullshit. The guy hasn't even coached yet and you hate him.

    just what exactly is there to be positive about?

    we've been down this road before....several times. sorry if im not swimming downstream with the rest....

    at best this is a lateral move, at BEST. except that we have to retool personnel due to a change of systems....so we're back to where we were in '09....'05....'04....'01.....'99.....

    alot to be excited about....ill tell ya

    Relax. Im not that thrilled with the choice of HC either. Instead of labeling us as bullshit fans, try to think of it as a father wanting his son to succeed with the best possible chances. We love our Browns! If you think Shurmur is that best possible chance, then go right ahead. We all don't have to agree.

    we don't have a head coach as of right now. It is still just speculation. But regardless of who becomes head coach, we need to keep the 3-4 defense. If we try to switch to 4-3, we will be officially rebuilding. If we keep the 3-4 and go west coast, I think we're good... I'll give all our new coaches a chance as everyone else should.

    Id say if we have another draft like we did last year. Give colt a full offseason as the starter. We go 8-8
