    So because our top choices turned us down

    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.

    Apparently sources close to Pettine say he "really wants the job badly." I suspect he'll be our guy.

  • The FO spent 4 hours with the guy, intent on offering the job if it went well, and apparently they left with no deal. Let the speculation begin.

    I suspect he's still in the running, they just want to speak to Quinn first before making a decision.

    If we bring in Cam Cameron with Pettine we'd be running the same offensive system as last year... there's some continuity... right? 🤔

  • 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.



    ********************************************************************************


    Bull crap. Buttichek lost his first three seasons with the Browns. And THAT was way before they came back as an expansion team.


    Here - Buttichek didn't have a winning season with the Browns til year 4, then he went losing again the two years after.

  • 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. Mik

    ***********************************************

    Well, you'd do better seeing things without the knee jerk hostility. You saying that Turner didn't play call well? Really? Dion Lewis hurt,

    2 yards and a cloud of dust Richardson traded, Hoyer hurt, can't run the ball anymore because the qb's sucked...and you

    blame an NFL respected veteran offensive mind for not play calling effectively ? lol. Seriously? Buttichek had three losing seasons, then

    you brag on him having one winning season, then going back to losing seasons...and you blame Chud for losing his first season?

    Bill Belichek lost his first season with the Patriots, too, dammit. And he won only one more game than

    the Browns did under Chud.

    Nah. Not buyin it. Butticheck SUCKED as the Browns hc. Here's a good article on it:

  • Would gladly watch a smashmouth (strong D/running game) team in the style of Seattle. Pettine is better than nothing at this point.

  • 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.

    correct again

  • Who cares who they hire? By midseason next year half of this fan base will be calling for a new HC. I wish I could get a one on one with Haslam and say now look here Jim....fuck these fans, you can't make personnel decisions based on the whimsical bleats of a fan base that hasn't seen win since Eisenhower. That's all there is to it, he has to say fuck us. It's the only way he's going to build anything.


  • CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Packers RBs coach Alex Van Pelt is high on Bills DC Mike Pettine's list as a potential OC candidate should Pettine get the Browns head-coaching job.



    Van Pelt, 43, played quarterback in the NFL from 1993-2003 and has coached mainly quarterbacks before becoming Green Bay's running backs coach in 2012. He was the OC for the Bills back in 2009 under Dick Jauron and Perry Fewell. There's some speculation that Van Pelt could shift to QBs coach in Green Bay because Ben McAdoo left to become the Giants OC.

    That's what we'll be getting- better than nothing. If you read the report from the Senior Bowl it's not surprising Haslam and the Stooges are in full damage control mode- and IMO they did more damage to the Browns reputation in one bad move than Holmgren & Heckert did in years.

    Earth to Jimmy- in this case the perception IS the reality- you and The Stooges have turned what's left of the once proud Browns franchise into a Hazardous Waste Dump.

    Eisenhower? Time to go back to Middle school......

  • He wasn't talking about the President; he was talking about Ricky Eisenhower, the hot dog vender that used to work at the stadium. 😉

  • It doens't matter who's hired. We're destined to lose, and lose big. Gurantee our QB pick is a flop and another high pick has a "final destination" esq injury that will doom his career.

  • Don't know if this is an indication of Pettine coming here or not, but this just floated in the Twitterverse:

    Ryan ‏ @ RyanTalbotBills 2m "Billieve" is gone from M. Pettine's Twitter. I repeat, "Billieve" has been removed from her bio.

    My guess his wife, and she's changing her Twitter info because she's headed to Cleveland?

    Anyone know anything about "Billeve" ?

    Yea sure that has to be it. The reason they have taken so long and been turned down by so many is because of the fans. The reason some of the guys won't even grants us an interview is because of what the fans say. The reason the executives and players at the Senior Bowl are trashing our FO is because of the fans. How can you possibly believe he is factoring in or even hearing what we think?

    Fuck that's just stupid. If there were a Grammy for stupid posts this should be a contender.
