After some thought, the new someone you should be looking for is Jim Bob Cooter.

That's right, I'm officially a rooter of Cooter.

A Cooter Rooter, you may say. 

Come to love the Cooter too, MarkO.

How many times do i have to say this?

I want a proven SUPERBOWL winning coach over the flavor of the month college coach

If that’s the choice

of course there will be many other candidates. I’m just saying SB winner over college coach

You can say it as much as you want and I'll say again.   Once coaches have won a super bowl somewhere else, they don't win with another team.  It doesn't happen.  Never in the super bowl era has it happened so why would you want that?   You want to bring Dungy off the TV?  How's that working out in Oakland?     Once they've won and reached the top of the mountain it doesn't happen again.  We already tried this bringing in Holmgren and how did that work out?

Don Shula and Weeb Ewbank are the only two coaches in history to win a NFL title with two different teams.   That's it 2 in what 90 years?   Give me someone new over those odds.

We basically already know it will be more than those two names because there's too many reports of DiFillipo being a candidate so we know he's in the mix plus probably a dozen more.

Of course it will have way more names then those 2. 

But if it was ONLY those 2 I’m taking the proven NFL coach

I would take McCarthy over Riley. 

Just my opinion but a Superbowl winning coach over the flavor of the month college coach is a no brainer

The browns are going to go one of two ways. Either a coach that has ties to Dorsey and or a young offensive minded coach.  So McCarthy of Riley.  I would go with Riley

Should Browns go all-in on Baker Mayfield and hir…:

Don't become the Buccaneers.. In the 40 yr history of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they have drafted 25 Quarterbacks, and exactly ZERO have been signed to a second contract..... Despite the fact they have drafted THREE Superbowl winning Quarterbacks..

You are just full of optimism tonight in multiple threads

It is what it is.  I watch all but 4 games of Baker’s OU career.  In that time he had two 3 NFL caliber RBs in Mixon, Perine and Anderson.  A NFL TE in Mark Andrews,  DeDe Westbrook and Sterling Shepard as WRs.  He played behind a perennial top 5 college OLs and an offensive guru in Lincoln Riley.  He’s Sam Bradford 

@baconhound said:

He is the QB of the near future.  Would I bet that he wins a playoff in a Browns uniform, no I wouldn't.  

I would take that bet.....if it were not such a long turn affair.

We also need people to throw to, and that means Higgins has to get healthy. I realize he's not exactly an allstar, but we desperately need him. Baker can have all day to throw but it won't do much good if we don't have anyone to catch it or get open. I was just watching the highlights of the Bucs at Bengals game and our guys wouldn't be able to make half the catches in that contest. We have holes in our roster, and I guess that's to be expected if I'm being honest with myself. 

It takes more than one offseason to build a top flight team.   The team is better than it was last year and the year before, correct??    Hopefully that trend continues going forward with new coaches and some additions to both sides of the ball.

maybe more discipline to start.....it may be most of the ol needs to be replaced....who knows....alot of the teams that get better in this league spend alot of money in free agency to build a good ol....sometimes it works and sometimes it does not...do we go there....not sure...all i know is what many on this board have been saying...baker is beginning to look more skittish each passing week.....and with that lt we have, can you blame him.......

Do I need to go "all in" for him to become that QB? No.... Sorry, but it's a stupid effin' question.

Man, I wasn't paying attention.  Initially I thought Harrison got whipped, but Harrison actually dominated his man.  It was the TE on the left who wasn't even ready for the freaking snap!  Holy heck.  It literally looked like the snap caught him by surprise, and then he wasn't even sure what to do.  He immediately began chasing the blitzer, which was chipped by Chubb before he went onto the other blitzer.  No wonder Baker looks a bit skittish.
