  • Mike McDaniel? No thanks. 

  • McDaniel for OC, absolutely. McDaniel for HC, no way. 

    I have no interest in the HC retreads who got canned or are about to get canned: Daboll is an idiot, Glenn, McCarthy etc.

    Any interest in Mike LaFleur, OC of the Rams for HC? Worked for the Browns in 2014 as an offensive intern for Kyle Shanahan's one year as OC. Shanahan took him to Atlanta in 2015-2016, then Shanny took him to the 49'ers 2017-2020. He's been McVay's OC since 2023. I imagine he's learned quite a bit from those two. 

  • Plus McDaniel has struggled with depression and drinking. Being head coach of the Browns is probably going to send him into a weekly relapse.

    Him & Flores would be my top choices.

    only because of the defense, that isn't Steflunski's doing, they won them despite him. 1 td vs the steelers, 0 offense tds vs the Bengals. and the Browns got 0 TDs vs the steelers the first time they played them.

    wait, that is a completely different story, of course that stupid deal screwed over the Browns, But not drafting olinemen and wr's they should have drafted has nothing to do with that stinking, dramatically asswholish trade.

  • its not that we didnt draft any they just whiffed also pay attention to their drafted slot 

  • If the Ravens end up firing John Harbaugh, would you guys want him?

    I'd take John Harbaugh in a heartbeat.

    I would prefer they fire Berry and keep Stefanski, rather than keep Berry and fire Stefanski, but.....something about Kevin's demeanor in talking to the press, makes me think he wants out.

    Absolutely. 

  • Berry isn't going to fire himself.  And most people, regardless of status and title, are too soft to take accountability and will punch down.

    When do Head Coaches get to pull rank on GMs and orchestrate such trades like that?   And who gave Watson the GUARANTEED money - the Head Coach?  You think it was Stefanski?  When I saw a press conference where Andrew Berry corrected a female reporter with a very sparky "I DIDN'T DRAFT BAKER MAYFIELD" - I knew they were done with Baker.  He was the plan of Dorsey so here came the ego of a the new GM about to get what he wanted very soon - and sending Baker packing in the process.  That GM wanted his own QB and giving up all those draft picks to get him - Berry neglected building the OL via the draft.  The ones he did pick have often been deemed in active for games.  The situation became so bad in recent weeks that Zinter has finally been active the last few weeks or so.  I don't think Berry has what it takes to build a team.  He inherited Garrett, Ward, Njoku, Bitonio, Teller and Chubb - more specifically - the Pro Bowl Nucleus

    If I'm a young QB prospect looking at teams that might be drafting a QB - I'm praying Andrew Berry doesn't want me for the Browns without any talent protecting the passer on the edges.  Last draft was a blind squirrel finding a nut. Berry needs to go the most IMO.  Having said all that, I DO agree things are stale with Stefanski here.  I just don't know if firing both the GM and HC at the same time is doable so I'd start with letting Berry go first.  It'll be interesting to see what happens.  

  • Well they fired Stefanski. I do not think this is the proper move. I would have given him 1 more year. The o-line was trash all year and the QB situation was in flux all year. Jeudy isn't the guy Cooper was, not eve close, so the offense sputtered. I would be interested in knowing how they evaluated the QBs in camp etc. Maybe this is where Stefanski got in trouble this year. While Sanders didn't knock it out of the park, he was way better then Gabriel. You should play the better player regardless of where they are drafted. All of that said, I think he should have been given another year. I am not sure what the expectation for this year was but a lot had to break right for the Browns this year and that didn't happen. Also, lets not forget that firing Stefanski might also mean Schwartz is gone. I hope that doesn't happen but its a strong possibility.
