  • We will get all the good names in rumors and interviews.

    Then we're going to get the jets TE coach or something.

  • Well we pretty much know 100% Mike P is gone later this evening.

    Pagano is out.

    Probably: Coughland, Fisher

    Maybe: Payton

    Plus the teams that already fired their coaches: Miami, Philadelphia, Titans

    There'll be a good amount of competition for the top prospects

    LOL! Good point - we'll prolly get the next Rich Kotite just so we can read Walter White wanting his head after the second coin toss of preseason.

  • More reports this AM of the same...

    It's just sad.

  • If Fisher gets fired, St Louis would be the best landing spot for the next HC.

    They already have a very good defense, with a strong running game in Gurley.

    All they need is a decent QB and a WR and they will compete.

  • According to multiple sources.Not sure how reliable they are. But after today's game against Pittsburgh. Both GM Ray Farmer and HC Mike Pettine are expected to be given their pink slips.

    Now, on to what this topic is about. According to Ian Rappoport, Browns are expected to interview Lions DC Teryl Austin, and Bears OC Adam Gase.

    Translation. We are expected to Bring in a HC for another 2 years of atrocity before hiring a new one.

    "We are poking a dead lizard with a stick expecting it to move" here people!. In other words, we're doing the exact same thing expecting something different, that's what my analogy means.

    We brung in Mike Pettine,who by the way was terrible in Buffalo, and now we're bringing in a DC who's been terrible in Detroit besides maybe one year. Who has no previous HC experience. Doesn't this sound familiar?. Oh,yeah. SAME thing happened with Pettine!.

    And then there's Gase,the Bears OC, who has NO HC experiance as well as he's never worked with a QB like Johnny Manziel before!. He won't know how to handle is off-the-field issues and he won't know how to gameplan around him. He's only worked with in the pocket passers in Peyton Manning and Jay Cutler.

    And who's to say that Adam Gase hasn't been riding Peyton Manning and making himself look good. Same exact thing happened with Joe Philbin in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers made him look like a genius. And now look how it turned out. They FIRED him!!.

    Anyways, that's just my 2 cents. What are you're thoughts?

  • My thoughts are Haslam is a stoopid fucking hick that expects us to buy into his firing a HC every 1-2 years. Just goes to show how poorly that prick can hire FO and HC positions.

  • Right....it will be a mad scramble to be the first to grab a "just fired" coach who wasnt good enough where he was, but will be GREAT here.....

    Or...since we dont want a retread....maybe we can grab a lower level coach who has NOT been good enough to promote, but now will be our saviour....

    Or....since we dont want inexperience......maybe we can grab some long distant past coach who won 10 years ago and will come out of retirement just to save us now....Cowher & Gruden are always popular candidates for this speculation....

    Gotta say Haslem might just be worse than Lerner.....and Lerner was really really bad.....

  • Is Mike McCarthy done tugging on Aaron Rogers cape cause he sure the hell makes no adjustments? This maybe Sean Peyton landing spot if saints get stupid..

  • Pettine and the coaches are gone. The new regime should go back to the 4-3 defense and start letting players develop instead of letting them walk.

    The new regime better draft impact players- not projects! If Farmer stays I will tweet him every time Khalil Mack gets another sack he has 15 thru 15 games!

    Draft Joey Bosa, Zeke Elliot and two wide receivers! Then draft Cardale Jones. I also heard it "through the Grapevine" that Peyton Manning will be coming along with Gase. So let Manning be a role model for Jones!

    Whoever they hire must have vision for the present as well as the future. Pettine had tunnel vision and was a stubborn ass!

    What are you smokin'? Elliot will not be there if we take Bosa @ #2 overall, unless we trade away the bank to move up for him in the mid-first. That would cost us next year's #1 or at least a #2 plus another. Now Henry just might still be there at the top of the 2nd if we are lucky. And for the gunshy Browns fans who are afraid of another Bama back, I'm calling it now. Henry is going to be a very good NFL back for someone. Last year I called it on do everything Tyler Lockett and Seattle moved up to steal him in the early 3rd. He's been an excellent get for them. Browns sure could have used him with all the WR injuries and misses. Are you kiddin' me? Paying for Bowe instead of moving up for Lockett? Mayle? What a joke of a GM we have.

  • Come on Canton Dawg stick with the hot dog stand. Your on a roll today!! or is that buns or just straight ass..

  • #Browns GM Ray Farmer may be fired without ever hiring a coach. Had 2 top picks forced on him: Manziel (Haslam's call), Gilbert (Pettine's)

    This is why I'd rather see Farmer get one more year than Pettine.

    Two-thirds of the reasons people hate him were not even his call. If we literally picked ANY other players instead of Gilbert and Manziel, most of his detractors would change their tune.

  • More reports this AM of the same...

    It's just sad.

    I hear ya Tour. Does ego trump the opportunity to learn from one's mistakes in this case?

    Didn't seem appropriate since the asshole does own truck stops (albeit the one's daddy gave him).

  • Maybe Jesus will be the next head coach and he can talk the Holy Spirit into being GM.

    Next stop on the Doug Marrone farewell tour Cleveland!

  • *yawns*

  • I would like to see Haslam hire Marrone.

    That way 3/4 of the way through another abysmal season, Marrone would just walk away saving Haslam the trouble of firing his ass.

    Pettine is here to stay.

    Get used to it.

    How many misguided posters didn't see this coming?

    Just as hopeful as those who think Manziel is an NFL QB

    I would think with the impending blow up, JM played his last game as a Brown.
