Mike Pettine Time?
-
Any chance that this FO is trying to lure in coordinators before they get "their guy"? Some of these interviews have been head scratchers. The Dallas ST coach, Dirk Koetter, Pettine (whom I really wanted as a DC a few years ago), etc. These cant seriously be their top candidates, can it?

These coaches can't get out of their contracts for lateral moves. It has to be for a higher position if they are under contract with another team. If they're already coordinators, it has to be for head coach some type of assistant head coach.

Now, the eyes of the Browns organization turn to Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, as they flew to Mobile, Ala. to have a second interview with the fiery young coach. The problem with the Browns having waited to interview Gase, is that the coordinators and coaches in the free agent pool have quickly started to dwindle. So, if Pettine is the Browns’ choice, who could he look to when filling out his staff?
Offensive Coordinator:
Cam Cameron
Could Cam Cameron Revive the Browns Offense?
The former offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens, Cameron currently holds the same role with the LSU Tigers. While Cameron is last remembered for being released during the Ravens 2012 Super Bowl run, many people felt that he was simply a scapegoat for the Ravens’ overall team struggles, but was largely credited for getting the best out of quarterbackJoe Flacco. Cameron is a known quarterback developer, and with his work history with Pettine, he will likely be high on the coordinator list.
Mike Bloomgren
With the ridiculous title of “Andrew LuckDirector of Offense” at Stanford University, Bloomgren helped lead the Stanford Cardinal to a Top 15 ranking after the departure of Luck to the NFL. Prior to that, Bloomgren spent three seasons with the New York Jets under Rex Ryan as the assistant offensive coordinator. As a rising young coordinator, it is only a matter of time before Bloomgren returns to the NFL, and Pettine’s staff could be just the place for him.
Matt Cavanaugh
The current quarterbacks coach of the Chicago Bears, Cavanaugh spent time on staffs with Pettine in both Baltimore and New York. As the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, he helped lead the team (without Pettine) to the franchise’s first Super Bowl victory in 2000. It would only seem fitting for him to help bring the first Super Bowl title to the Cleveland Browns next.
Defensive Coordinator:
Jim O’Neil
O’Neil’s Past With Pettine Could Land Him the Browns DC Job.
O’Neil currently resides as the linebackers coach of the Buffalo Bills, but previously spent four seasons in Pettine’s defense in New York with the defensive backs and quality control. Many in the Bills organization feel that if Pettine lands the Browns job, O’Neil could be quickly added to his staff, sending the team reeling late in the coaching search to reload their staff.
Anthony Weaver
Weaver has virtually spent his entire career under Pettine. He was coached by Pettine while a player in four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, joined the New York Jets coaching staff in 2012, and then followed Pettine to the Buffalo Bills this past season. At just 33-years old, Weaver would be one of the younger defensive coordinators in the league.
Donnie Henderson
The current defensive backs coach of the Buffalo Bills, Henderson spent time working with Pettine in Baltimore in 2002 and 2003. He then spent time with the New York Jets and Detroit Lions at defensive coordinator before joining Bills head coach Doug Marrone at Syracuse. This season he was brought in to help Pettine’s defense move to a Top 10 ranking in the NFL.

heres a list with guys he might bring with him

I like the sounds of it and prefer defensive minds at HC. Why write him off already?
-
I'm liking what I'm seeing on him. Watched a few interviews with him on youtube, and he seems to be real, and passionate about football. Has always had good results where ever he's coached. This could be the one.
i'm sure this is the guy that the FO declared that 'we're just waiting on the right guy. we've got to get this right!' routine.
this guy is as far from the top of their first choices as a rock at the bottom of the fish pond to a floater.
now you guys are getting fucking crazy. are you being serious? mike pettine was our first choice?

So because our top choices turned us down we just shouldn't have a HC? Who would *you* hire? And bear in mind it won't be Tressel, or Schottenheimer, or any old-timers like that.

the question is 'who' is there to hire and 'who' that they want will take the job?
only one on the top of the list who hasn't blown us off yet is quinn DC from the seahawks. if he blows us off then you have to concede we are picking from the bottom of the barrel.
i'm not saying that who they choose will suck, i'm saying that this front office is full of shit with statements like 'we have to get this right' in the press conference after firing chud and having no idea who was interested (seriously interested) in the job, and haslam's overwhelming commitment to the fans to bring a winner to cleveland. what they basically did was cast a line out into the ocean hoping for that huge catch and only got a nibble.
yes, chud sucked. but wasn't that an indictment right there of banner and lombardi's ability to run this team?
i hope the new coach demands full control and haslam sees the light and fires banner and lombardi and promotes farmer to GM (if he isn't gone by then) and let him and the new guy formulate the future of this team.

I don't get that Chud sucked and should have been fired. The Browns were really on the upswing
when Hoyer was in there.
Buttichek SUCKED with the Browns. Look at other great coaches - they learned a lot in their first
year of being a hc.
I believe there's nobody here who didn't want Turner as oc. A lot of new/"new" hc's struggled their
first year, with a lack of talent. It takes a few years to implement new systems, and accrue the talent
to fit.
Turner and Horton didn't have a problem with Chud, so it wasn't the hc's fault. It isn't like Chud brought in
rookies to fill his coaching staff.
-
I cannot wait for the press conference when a coughing Banner and the owner drinks 4 bottles of water as they squirm their way through telling us we got our man ...........there will be more bullshit in that 30 minute conversation than a farm full of Buffalo
-
I like this hire.
This is the AFC North fellas. A defensive minded coach is a must especially during the 2nd half of the season.
We gave up 25.3 points a game last season, that's an entire TD difference from the Bengals at 19.

Yes, but that's all behind us now. Chud & Hoyer certainly deserve a 2nd chance.
I just hope this entire flip of direction isn't for 'Manziel'. There's a good chance if 'Manziel' don't work out, it will set us back a decade.
Why a decade? 3-4 years to see if Manziel work, new coach, Draft another QB by 4-5, wait another 3-4 years to see if that QB works.

If it is for Manziel and it doesn't work out, then I seriously hope that if it doesn't work out, Banner/Lombardi are gone.

If you believe in a guy when you hire him after an extensive hiring process, how do you not believe in him so much 11 months after that you have to blow up everything again? They team may have SUCKED by the end of the year, but they didn't QUIT. Chud still had the staff and the locker room. It was time to upgrade the talent, especially on offense, and make adjustments ... Especially on defense .... Not fire the coach. You give a guy three second string Qbs, a 34 year old running back off the street and no fullback and you fire him after you preached patience at us and him all year?
I hope they do hire Pettine, because that hot-headed dago will punch Banner in the fucking mouth when he needs it most.

man you see life with blinders on, which means you only go in one direction and are not open-minded at all.
belichick SUCKED with the browns? really that team played harder and better than what they fielded in the past decade (beside mangini's team), with vinny testaverde at QB.
yeah belichick is a bum. a bum that any 'open-minded non-hater' would take back in cleveland in a heartbeat.
turner did shit for play calling and did nothing to help weeden with his QB guru talent. horton's schemes were great in the first half of every game this year but let us down in the second half. and who was their direct boss. yep, chud. you're telling me that pat shurmur did a better coaching job than chud and you're wondering why he got fired.
geez. i know you're a staunch conservative but open your eyes. haslam put down the gauntlet with firing of chud. we're not going backwards with our record AGAIN. if you can't surpass the guy that was there before you, see ya!

Bellichik also won 11 games including a playoff game in 94'.
I don't get the Bellichik hate at all.

It's hard to argue with any of this............I can still remember E Rock picking Bledsoe in our last playoff win like it was yesterday. I always liked Bill, and still do.

You don't know that. Just because a coach takes his name out of the running doesn't mean we offered him. It more likely means we weren't going to offer him.

This. It's not like Gase, McDaniels are A+ candidates anyway. Bowles was the Rooney rule interview.You don't know that. Just because a coach takes his name out of the running doesn't mean we offered him. It more likely means we weren't going to offer him.
Apparently sources close to Pettine say he "really wants the job badly." I suspect he'll be our guy.
