Browns hire Kevin Stefanski as HC

[OldBrownsFan]

All the football talking heads on television I saw yesterday seemed to think Stefanski was a good hire so we'll see. I'm hopeful.

A lot of people poo poohed the thought of urban meyer as a NFL head coach but I thought this is a guy who knows the right calls to make and when to make them and knows how to hire subordinates to run different aspects of the team and knows how to identify talent. I mean what more are we looking for? 

But.  We've got stefanski. And it sounds like Paul depodesta is going to be the puppet master. So...no comment. I hope it works out. At least he's not a fat disgusting hillbilly moron slob so that's one image problem fixed.

One of two things I see this as.  Either ownership and management want to eliminate any future communication issues and instability among the coaching staff by verifying that these gameplans are developed, set and agreed upon by the coaching staff...     - OR-    Tennessee Jerry Jones just kicked into overdrive.  

Either great or a disaster.  

Help me out with this one. In Spanish we have a saying "Piensa mal y acertarás" which literally is 'Think wrong and be right', meaning you should expect the worst from a multiple choice scenario. 

I need help finding an English equivalent... Because it applies here.

Here it's called the Costanza Opposite Strategy - or COS for short.

Before the wild card games, people were talking about how the Vikings might release Zimmer and promote stefanski if they got blown out because they love stefanski and didn't wanna see him go.

Now people hate the hire and Vikings fans couldn't care less to see him go.

Interesting how the rumors and perception changed.

I never heard those rumors.

Well, at least we didn't hire a fat ass.?

Always set your expectations low, that way you will never be disappointed. 

That is not exactly translate right either, but it does apply here.

It was interesting.  It seemed many were positive some were “well he just got rolled by the Niners”  

Sean Payton’s reaction was most interesting he kind of rolled his eyes at our organization - here we go again.  He didn’t really come down on the hire though

He’s not “yes man” though.  And truthfully he had a Freddie like team his last two/three years Uber talented by highly disorganized.  

Then you have to question his offense.  Is he willing to change? And then his control freak nature couple with his health

Dustin Fox tweeted that all potential HC hires had to agree to present game plans weekly to Haslam and DePodesta.

Oh shit you and cal too?   We're fucked.?

Stephanski wasn't "my guy". Try to get at least ONE fact straight this month, okay?

I wanted Kris Richard, who wasn't interviewed. "Reading comprehension" IS a thing, you know.

[calfoxwc]

well, I saw an interview with the Viking's center, and he said it's tough to see him go, but the Browns were getting

an outstanding teacher and coach, etc. So there's that.

Ryan: Stefanski is a fantastic hire for the Browns

Matt Hasselbeck, Rex Ryan, Tedy Bruschi and Sean Payton react to the news that the Browns are planning to hire Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski as their new head coach.

Face it amigo. Every single solitary bit of news evidence conjecture speculation whatever you decide to call it is pulled out of somebody's ass.

And I understand that... it's just that when speculation is presented as fact that I get a little testy.

And every single meaningless thing he did/does whatever will be dissected like a frog in biology class.

It's going to be a long Winter and Spring coming up.  I choose to just chill out.

I think in the end Jimmy felt he finally needed to heed Depos advice.  Depo has made several recommendations that would have been solid choices only to have Jimmy opt for Hue and Doofus Dorsey decide on Freddie.

I do think we are going have solid alignment between Stefanski and Berry, both whom will be open to using the analytics that Depo and staff will provide on a weekly basis. Even in game basis.  I hope a member of the Depo team is on the sidelines with the ability to feed the coach info in real time, point out things that could help with halftime adjustments  Doofus wasn't open to that.  He would rather sit there and watch Freddie fall in love with plays that didn't work. It started to look like "Tin Cup" with Costner determined to carry the water.   It never hurts to get solid information that can help towards making  better decisions.

We all want that, right?
