    Ridiculous.

    Stefanski will be surrounded by the beautiful minds that brought us the 2016 Browns draft and who wanted to draft Mitchell Trubiskey over Myles Garrett. KUBIAK IS NOT NEEDED! ?

    So tell me guys how I'm going to explain my friends with whom I watched the 49ers game yesterday that the atrocious offense that lead us to have a conversation to distract us from the game was coached by a guy... 

    And that my team decided to hire that guy as a head coach.

    Clevelanders are the silliest of Americans?

    I don’t think it’s official. NFL.com says “Browns planning to hire” and ESPN is reporting it as breaking news.

    At this point it's more like an officially confirmed intent.

    Likely the offer's been verbally made and accepted in principle with details on paper to be signed soon.

    You had a chance to hire the bully but you hire the victim. Typical Browns...hire the guy who just got embarrassed.

    The serious answer to this, I guess, would be:   A.  One game does not an entire career make.   B. The defensive guy had a lot more better horses to work with than the offensive guy...which is probably true   C.  This guy got Kirk Cousins to perform well, and actually win a playoff game.  Something no one else could ever do.    And D......use the reason that the committee that chose him probably used:   The analytics said that he is the right man for the job....even if we cannot explain what those analytics are.

    Didn’t his offense get 4 first downs and 3 points in the final 3 quarters yesterday?

    Yes, not looking like a "guru" but let's see how this pans out.

    First, SF put the clearly superior team on the field. They got both Dee Ford and Kwan Alexander back at just the right time and both made their presence felt. There's only so much any Coach can overcome.

    Second, an OC can do nothing about a muffed punt or an 8-play, TD drive with all 8 plays on the ground.

    At least, I think, we have this going for us with this hire:     Very low expectations.    Clearly no one here is jumping up and down with enthusiasm and anticipation of a great season ahead.   Anything better than a 6-10 season will seem like a major positive accomplishment.

    Fair to say?

    You mean the analytics guy that everyone in the front office was ignoring until the team continued to be dysfunctional?

    I'd bump it up to 9-7 as minimum to feeling like an accomplishment.

    I would say playoffs, or bust.
    We just gotta chill out with the super bowl talk and hopefully keep the team focused on a week to week basis. No distractions.

    If the Browns had to have a motto to accompany this hire, it would be something like: 

    KEVIN STEFANSKI FOR HEAD COACH: AT LEAST HE ISN'T BRIAN DABOLL!

    Well if the Browns hired DUMBOLL.. It's would've been a PR disaster on all fronts... I'm glad it wasn't him.. But.. I have little confidence in this hiring..

    Between Freddie’s “coaching” and the defensive scheme.  I’d hope we can be at least a .500 team taking out the two factors above

    Right....I am saying that anything around .500 would be that.
