    Let's hope that in this case nepotism works. Holmgren now has his puppets in place so there will be no excuses from him. Two years, the clock has started.

    Browns since 1999 pre-Shurmur:

    Seasons 12

    W-L 64-128

    Win pct .333

    Playoff app 1

    10-loss seasons 9

    Browns Hypothetically after Shurmur:

    Seasons 10

    W-L 130-30

    Win pct .888

    Playoff app 10

    10-loss seasons 0

    Just being optomistic 🙂

    The best thing about hiring Shurmur is that it wasnt Marvin Lewis.

    I think that's what Reb just said: If he doesn't win, THEN start bitching.

    I personally expect the Browns to win at least 8 games next year and preferably 10, assuming we even play 16 (or 18) games. I think we're at the point where we'll have the talent to expect that, and the schedule isn't bad.

    If we suck and go 6-10? I'll put the whole program on notice. They'll have one more season to show some progress.

    I think this move was pretty inevitable and if anything I'm disappointed that next year isn't Year Two in the WCO. I never believed Holmgren would take over the Browns but just hang around watching guys he doesn't know run systems he doesn't believe in. I'm surprised anybody really expect that to happen.

    so you're a two year plan guy? period. no matter what?

    I'm not going to say anything negative. Shurmur could turn into a great coach, be mediocre or be horrible. No one knows yet. No matter who we pick, we have no idea what will happen. Give the guy a chance. And root for his success.

    Difference being, the DAY Mangini was hired, the bitching started, and never stopped even though many areas of the team improved despite the lack of depth and talent......

    I just wonder if the right move wouldn't have been to give it 1 more year to add players and to give McCoy a full year to develope. If then no progress then pull the trigger.

    John Fox just announced as Denver Broncos Head Coach. So we can put that DC stuff to rest for him.

    via Twitter:

    "I am excited to announce that John Fox has agreed to terms to become the 14th head coach in Denver Broncos history."

    Daboll is apparently fired.

    Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has been fired according to Daniel Wolf of The Dawg Scooper. Wolf reports that Daboll was seem taking boxes to his car.

    Wolf reports that Daboll never listened to advice from Browns president Mike Holmgren or Browns senior advisor to the president Gil Haskell.

    Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain-Dealer is reporting that Holmgren has not ruled out adding himself as the Browns head coach.

    If Holmgren becomes the head coach, Haskell would probably be named the offensive coordinator. There also have been rumors that Ray Rhodes would be named the defensive coordinator.

    Adam Caplan of FOXSports reported that Daboll could replace Charlie Weis in Kansas City. Weis is leaving to become the offensive coordinator of the Florida Gators.

    No to go all political or anything, but this reminds me of 08. MOAN MOAN MOAN CRY CRY CRY, then when the guy THEY want is put in, "STOP CRYING" LOL! Its double standard and I want what I want all the time or I will stomp my feet and throw a fit till everyone gets sick of hearing it. But you had better not do the same.

    I remember when I first joined 2 years ago when Mangini got fired someone started a thread of if they liked the hire or not. No debating, no name calling and no shoulda woulda couldas. The question is: Do you like the hire? Plain and simple. Please answer yes or no only.

    My answer is yes.

    I'd say LaMonte's very wealthy. 🙂 I Haven't heard anything bad about him, so that's a plus. But IMHO it's a little more than coincidence H&H hire another LaMonte guy.

    not on the same level but don't politicians that do this draw great scrutiny? wonder how much more is landing in holmgren's pocket?
