    just bring back dick jauron or rob ryan at this point if you're thinking defensive minded HCs.

    Why? What have they done? They will not conform and bow down to the stooges.

    Rob Ryan would come back here as soon as Mangini would. The only ex coach they should even consider hiring back would be mangini in any case....that was the one that really killed us.

    reading about Pettine he likes to play hybrid D, meaning some games they put up the 3-4 and some games the 4-3 while also switching between man and zone coverage depending on who they're playing. I guess I like that. I think there are some teams where we should put all of our awesome lineman in there. That may mean guys like Kruger and Sheard get less snaps those games but so what?

    So ... this would be the guy that lost a ten point lead to Brandon Weeden coming off the bench last year?

    He's the guy where they said "Okay, we need SOMEONE who no matter what, won't reject us, you know, just in case Gase/Quinn/Everyone else does." He's also the guy who is also going to reject us.

    They could be interviewing for a Coordinator, maybe getting a feeling for who the FO likes to help the new HC.

    A lot of these "interviews" the media is reporting on could be guys we're just looking at for OC/DC and position coaching spots...

    On top of everything else, now the FO is picking our new HC's coordinators for him?

    I can't think of a better way to make our job more significantly less attractive than it is...

    Unless they are only offering a one-year contract...

    My opinion is that oftentime going for the OCs/DCs is not necessarily the best way to catch a good HC.

    The HC is like the CEO of a company.....he is responsible for overall policies.....but is not in charge of every little detail. The OCs/DCs are like heads of departments. A really good OC/DC often as not does not make a good HC.

    The HC job is really more administrative. He does not usually call the plays or call the defenses to be used on a single play.

    But he does set the tone and makes the grand major decisions.

    I do not believe a number of successful HCs were over coordinators. Some may have come from being position coaches

    Pettine and Horton might be on the same page defensively so I'm all for it. Anything to prevent us from starting completely over on defense. I can't take that anymore. I like where Horton was going with this team even if some of the players were not putting out what they were expected to (Kruger).

    Yeah but Horton's interviewing for the Titans DC job. Getting thin out there.

    Dude is getting a second interview ... According to his daughter ... Ain't social media great?

    Ill take a defensive coach that hires a good OC all day.

    Fox, Belichick .... Well, to be fair, their QBs aren't bad.

    holy shit dude i've been as critical of the defense as anyone but he did get us to 9th overall in his first fucking year. We completely changed schemes so wtf dude? If 9th overall is "shit" for a 1st year coach then expectations are impossibly high here in Cleveland and no one is ever going to make any traction. You don't tear up a 1 year top 10 defense and you sure as fucking shit don't let the coordinator go who got the defense to that position. Yeah we have holes....which makes it all the more impressive that we were still 9th overall. With 2 more years and more drafts/FA signings Horton could have had us in the top 3 and shitting all over the AFC North. But no ur right he's shit. 😎
