Can somebody close this thread as McCarthy is no longer in play and was derailed a long time ago.

OK- if it will make you happy- done.    Now start a thread "Who are the Browns going to name the next Head Coach".

Coaching scraps...like I said a week ago...

What experienced coach would come here to an owner with a quick trigger finger???

Haslem should run an amusement park that only has Carousels in it.

hah ha ha ha....good one...we don't want mcdaniels....believe me...you don't want him....he will be a 2 and out...however that is all that is left...no one wants to come here that is any good...haslem has created a sewer shit hole.....and kvoethe, i don't believe he could even run an amusement park....something bad would happen like a roller coaster derailment ..because of poor mtc mgmt....it would happen....

... New York which I think is an awful spot now that they have Gettleman.  

I know that's the popular take, but I don't get it. His two-year stint as GM has been pretty good.

Many thought he got the better of Dorsey in their dealings.... he's rebuilt their OL... racked up two pretty solid drafts including some Day 3 hits like Slayton.

Granted that the jury is still out on Jones and now he's added what will be seen as a risky reach of a HC hiring, but overall his job performance seems pretty decent.

Read an article along the above lines a few days ago, that I'll post if I come across it.

LOL, No reason for  McDaniels to go to  NY now. The Yankees  have a  Judge, and now the Giants  do  too.  Curious  hire to  say the least.  But then it's  Gettleman calling the  shots there.

Look at  it this way,  we get our  pick of the best of the leftovers.  Some  would say table  scraps.  

Except I did not view the people left to choose from any less than Rivera or McCarthy.  Not really.  And never heard of Joe Judge.  I do have a friend named John Judge, who is the CEO of First Energy Solutions...which operates a couple of Nuclear Power Plants.     Joe and John have similar duties:  avoiding a meltdown....or, recovering from one.

Word is that McCarthy wants Dick Nolan as his DC???

Christ... he was Tom Landry's DC!

BRING BACK THE FLEX!!!!

I believe that was Ernie Stautner that gave us the Flex defense.

On the other hand he probably doesn't have to sell his house.

I was under the impression the McDaniels interview had been moved up. Apparently not.

Let's assume you are making a joke.    Mike Nolan....Dick's son.    Served this past season a LB coach in New Orleans.  But both Dick and Mike did each serve as HC of the 49ers. 

He was the guy that wanted to wear suits and ties on the sideline, but the league initially disallowed it because they insisted that he wear NFL logo apparel.  They apparently relented a year later, but only if the suits were made  and labeled by Reebok...the league's clothing supplier.   But ever since then however, coaches have been required to look like slobs and street punks  on the sideline wearing  team gear.

Word on the street is McCarthy jumped at the Cowboys job because he is convinced the Browns will offer the HC job to McDaniels.

LOL, but I haven't heard anything about the Homeless Guy interviewing yet.

Homeless guy referred them to his agent for a scheduling-some guy name Johnny something.?

Pretty much. I mean, they're interviewing Brian Daboll, for fuck's sake.

Well....if YOU don't want him.....sign him up now. He must be good!!

Yeah I was convinced Hue would turn us into a playoff team and I didn’t want the Mojo Baker had last year with Freddie to be disrupted.  
 

i think we are going find out soon... we will be the Patriots West minus Brady and Belichick.  I’m skeptical 

@jbluhm86 said:

McCarthy to the Cowboys. Browns miss out on another quality HC due to Haslam's incompetence. Time for the mods to take this thread behind the woodshed and put it out of it's misery.

The Browns have had such great success in hiring head coaches since 99 they don't need to go with a proven winning NFL HC like McCarthy.
