<![CDATA[Pettine The Right Coach For The Browns]]>I like Pettine. He took over a Browns team in turmoil for years and in his first year made them competitive. He will only get better. I like how he handles himself and the team. He has made a few rookie head coach mistakes (such as clock management) but I would still grade him an A in his first year. With the right coach we can finally start building something here in Cleveland instead of this constant tearing down and rebuilding.

Questionable effort in big games? They went into Cincy and smoked the Bengals. They beat the Steelers at home. On life support, they beat Atlanta to save the season on the road. I know it's only 3 games, and they blew the homestand vs Cincy & Indy, but a young team took decent steps with a roster that really isn't scaring too many teams.

We're not at the NE/Den level yet, and still the 4th best team in the AFC North, but I think things are looking up.

If this team can get a reputation as a hard nosed no nonsense football team the wins will take care of themselves. No more trying short cuts, the continual search for the franchise quarterback which has produced little since 99, no more blowing things up and starting over. Just start laying a good foundation and making good draft picks.

You may be less vulgar but you are completely full of bovine feces. Your posts all carry a tone of you having inside knowledge and we know truth is you have no knowledge. Per one of your other posts if you are truly 73 you are the oldest punk on the earth. As far as "on topic" you have basically just posted 200 versions of how Johnny can suck and still start all of next year.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/464320https://brownsboard.com/post/464320Mon, 22 Dec 2014 04:45:28 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Pettine The Right Coach For The Browns on Mon, 22 Dec 2014 03:40:59 GMT]]>Yeah... not buying that line.

Last year, my memory had this team leading a lot of games and then losing at the end....

THIS YEAR, I saw this team start a lot of games slow, then come back and fight till the end.....

In fact....most would consider us a second half team....so, wouldn't a second half team be indicative of good half time adjustments and a team that doesn't quit?.....and didn't THAT aspect of our team improve this year?

I think so....

Handling of the QB situation is only significant downgrade I saw, but even in that area there were good moments.

Penalties? D is tied for 4th with 85. O is tied for 21st with 103.

Clock management? Some questionable moments to be sure.

Questionable effort? See below....

@bbedward said:

Idk if I'd put the questionable effort all on him.

Hard for me to put any upon him. Teams inexplicably "go flat" every week at every level of the game right under a coaching staff's nose.

I think that more often it is on the roster's team leaders for not raising the issue than it is the staff for not sensing it. The team can sense a "hollowness" in the prep that the staff cannot see in a normal week... let alone one where the "excitement" of a change to a "rookie QB stud" is occurring.

The Browns have perpetually been in transition since 99. I liked Pettine's attitude at the start saying they were not rebuilding this year and we had enough quality players to compete in the NFL. The Browns did compete this year and in a rarity were still in the playoff picture in December. Pettine comes from a very good defensive background with the Ravens, Jets and lly.

That is why I am glad they found this gem in Pettine. ^^

The Browns took a lot of time in hiring Pettine and I think they did their homework when they chose him. He brings some much needed stability to this club. I for one am getting tired of blowing everything up every few years and starting over. Since 99 we have averaged a new head coach about every two years. The Browns needed someone that can bring a no nonsense, no excuse, winning mentality. Mike Pettine is a hard nosed ,no nonsense type of coach that can relate to his players. This is exactly the type of coach the Browns needed. We now have some good chess pieces in place and I hope we give this some time to bear fruit. Things are looking up in Cleveland...finally.

We did have games that looked hopeless and then played our balls off the 2nd half, including our biggest road comeback ever. Supposedly Hoyer told everyone we were going to win that game though before half time. Maybe he's the reason the teams played hard 😉
