Patty Cake.

(I mean....if we are talking about taking a guy whose last name if Patricia....what to you expect? We gotta give him a better nickname)

@the-gipper said:

Much more likely.

I think I need to retract this......it may not be a guy that has been there done that.....but a guy that will work the game like Sashi Brown wants to....and enjoy doing it. A younger guy. Plugged into the younger player and the statistical side of things.

Don't post that much though.

Not bad for a 26 y.o. war. I think you got it right, but that is not how it's done in the Cleveland Carousel. First, find a coordinator and make him a HC. Second, hire a GM with no brain. Third, draft a QB instead of BPA. Forth, repeat every two years or less. Rinse, repeat ad infinitum.

Saban should be target number 1. His NFL tenure is unfairly maligned. Did well in his first year and just caught some bad breaks in his second year. Kinda like Pettine, except a year with some bad breaks still resulted in twice as many wins for Saban.

He brought us a #1 defense in his last year in Cleveland and that was twenty years and about a dozen top 10 NCAA defenses ago. Imagine what he's capable of now.

Id consider him as just one of the "flavor of the year" candidates......there are several every year.....year after year....

Id say....you're not a big name coach until you've won something.....

Though.....Im sure if Jimmy signs him,,,,,,he will try to convince us that he signed a big name......

Maybe not big name, but "hot name"

Regardless we don't get the flavor of the year guys either, except for maybe Mangini I don't remember if he was considered a hot name then or not.

But Gase has been a buzzing name for an HC-gig for awhile, and lined up 3 interviews this week already - so I'd consider it a big name candidate.

@bbedward said:

Gase is a big name HC candidate.

Why?

@brownpile said:

It does appear as if he's going to make the 'modern' mistake of letting the data analyst make the final decisions. Data analytics should be a tool for decision making - not the final authority.

Did I miss a mention of sabermetrics by Haslam?

@manzier said:

Im just happy Haslem didnt use the word candidly before every answer

lol... I'd forgotten about that... good catch.

I will say Jimmah looked tanned and trim... must be spending a lot of time in Bratenahl.

@bbedward said:

True......but of course, those are just the first two names to come out of the woodwork. Who knows who else will show up.

@londonbrown said:

@gftchris said:

Yes, I know he does.....that is my point. The GM answers to him. And here, football wise, it appears that the GM/DOPP will answer to the HC. So...honestly...I expect a fairly "big" name to be hired. One that has been there, done that with an NFL team.....or a guy like Saban.

@the-gipper said:

If you think Bill Belichick doesn't run every single aspect of that football club you're sorely mistaken.

Zombo said:

As I noted elsewhere....this is essentially the same setup they have in New England. Seems to have worked there.

No worries. I hear she raises chickens so the picks are in good .......................beaks?

And a New Years present for Z too, the newest Magic 8 Ball

Dee Haslam is on the search committee??? Where's the

Kool Aid???
