From Terry ....... https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2020/01/was-it-a-good-idea-for-cleveland-browns-to-pick-kevin-stefanski-over-josh-mcdaniels.html
1. Based on my emails, very few Browns fans are thrilled with the hiring of Kevin Stefanski as the team’s new head coach. That’s understandable. Who really knows if the 37-year former Minnesota offensive coordinator can do the job?.......
also from Terry...
13. If I had to pick between Stefanski and McDaniels, I’d go with Stefanski.

It don't fucking matter. It only matters if they win. The choice has been made....now we just have some more years (1 at least) to show whether it was good or bad.

I'm pumped Gipper. I don't have time to get into all of the details, but hopefully I will soon. I know everyone is excited! Lol

Here's a concern. Stefanski got the job apparently because he ceded authority to run the team to people that included Jimmy and Dee. Is anyone else nervous than about his ability to stand up to obj Landry maybe even Baker or anyone else? And even if he can the minute Depo or the Haslam's make him back down his stature in the locker room will be pretty much gone.

Well....to me, those are not a concern, until they are a concern. For now all that is speculation. Fair speculation, but I won't be concerned until it actually happens.

Yes, and how much of that speculation comes true? I am just saying I am not at this point going to hide in my bomb shelter because at some point it is speculated that the earth may be hit by an asteroid.

Unfortunately only one member, sorry ex-member, of this board was consistently correct. At least since the beginning of the rule of King Jimmy. And that's only because he consistently predicted Doom and Gloom.

Mayfield and discipline.
13. Reviving Mayfield can change so much for the franchise. Did Mayfield work as hard as needed last summer? He probably thinks so, but the data indicates otherwise. Stefanski needs to sit down and discuss with Mayfield what it takes to be a long-term, productive QB in the NFL. It’s not easy, especially when commercials and other things came so soon to Mayfield last summer.

Make him back down??? Ceded authority???
There are enough legitimate concerns to worry about without making shtuff up.
For me the key is the prep of the individual development plans Stef talked about in his intro. If these are done well, then it should be easy for players to buy in.
Same message to Terry who's worrying about OTA attendance. Whether OBJ or any other vet attends any in 2020 says nothing about Stef as a HC. It might say something in 2021, but not this year.

Those are question marks. I count 6.

Now can you guess how many fingers I am holding up?

Yes. From what they've been talking about this new alignment requires the coach to sit down with Jimmy and Dee Etc before putting together a game plan. Seems to me like they want a lot more Hands-On interaction with the day-to-day planning of the team. If you don't think Jimmy and Dee would ever override the coach's decision then feel free to tell me you think I'm wrong. On the other hand if you think there's a possibility (or even a probability) that they might pull something like telling Mike Pettine he had to start Johnny (which undermined the coach's Authority whether you believe it or not) then you might agree that I at least have a legitimate concern.

yes but that concern is not mutually exclusive of my own.

2. yes but that concern is not mutually exclusive of my own.
- You need to catch up. The "game plan meeting" was a false rumor that Stef put to rest in his intro presser. There will be a Monday post mortem of the week's game, but it is not uncommon for owners to attend those.
- Then please pass along to the others that it's not a 2020 concern.

Well good. Frankly nobody will be happier than me if my concerns turn out to be for naught. I will expect no less than nine + seven.
But:
"I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall the Cleveland Browns- if they they would to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if they should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room; and then I do not forgive.

Terry Pluto...... https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2020/01/what-should-new-cleveland-browns-do-about-odell-beckham-jr.html
What should new Cleveland Browns leaders do about Odell Beckham Jr?

Terry in his tactful way........
I’m not suggesting they address this question immediately. But they do need to deal with it before training camp opens in July:
What to do with Odell Beckham Jr.?
At his opening press conference, Stefanski delivered the terrific line of “Personality is welcome, production is required.”
Beckham delivers personality, especially an obsessive need to draw attention to himself. Then he wonders, “Why is everyone paying attention to me?”
The Browns will have to measure that against his possible production in 2020.
