  • Glad to see im not alone in my rather harsh but honest "early assessment" of coach Pettine..

    Hopefully he will eventually get it but i really would not count on it..

    Possibly the worst coach the browns have ever hired..

    I cannot for the life of me fathom what type of information you would have to form such an assessment at this point. Please comment further on your points of contention with him as a coach.

    We cannot continue to just blow up the entire organization every year or two and start over. Sometimes you have to make a stand, suck it up and give them a few years to establish consistency. Do I like waiting? NO, is it sometimes necessary? YES. This team needs to run the same offensive and defensive scheme for the next 4 to 5 years along with drafts and free agency that are geared towards those schemes. If we do not do that we will continue to languish as a poor to mediocre team.

    Jesus fuck...you guys realize that this is going to be a difficult year already as it is right? I mean you cannot tear up the organization every two years and expect some foundation to be left behind. The Browns weren't gonna win a lot of games this year no matter what. Lombardi could rise from the dead and maybe get us a shade under .500. Realistically we're gonna win a couple games and HOPEFULLY at least make a fight out of it so that Sunday nights we can all say at least some great fucking football was played. If that happens I don't care if we go 0-16. Wins take time and if you mother fuckers are already calling for Pettine's job than honestly the last 15 years of misery are because of Browns fans. How difficult is Pettine's job already as it is? Just leave him the fuck alone. We can't fire him, we used up those knee jerk ur fired cards. Now if we fire a HC barring some massive lockeroom revolt we become the least desirable destination in NFL history. The Browns are consigned not just to the North basement for all of time, we'll be in the NFL's basement. Might as well just send the team off somewhere else again..is that what you fuckers want? Cause if this organization becomes anymore of a joke that it already is, some city somewhere is gonna make Haslem an offer he can't refuse and the NFL will not stop it. Please god just leave Pettine the fuck alone for a couple years. For the love of fucking god. If things don't work out with the players he's inherited let him build a team.

    Food for thought, had we stayed with Mangini we'd probably be owning the North right now especially seeing how the division has fallen off. We're still in the window but's it's closing quick. If we fire Pettine anytime in the next few years and do another redo you can forget about it. We had an opportunity to step on the rest of the North as they were reshuffling. Had we stuck to our guns honestly with any of the last 3 coaches we'd be at the top of the North forcing the other teams to respond to moves we make. That's how teams ascend to divisional dominance and stay there.

    you make too much sense, besides, the loud mouth maligners on this board aren't happy unless they are calling for someone's head..the truth is, you are where you are with pettine, and for that matter the players, cleveland fans should be trying to make the most of it instead of constantly finding fault....never saw such a band of loser mentalities.....instead of throwing stones and passing premature judgment...hope that pettine can learn from his mistakes and improve....who knows, maybe he can and will....

    As one of the quieter "maligners", I am offended by this...
