    Either The team quit on Wilks or his scheme is awful or both.  There was time before Christmas I thought he would be the fall guy and get axed and Freddie would stay on for one year.

    i think there is a .0001% chance that Wilks is in Cleveland 

    I hate to even THINK it, but I have an awful feeling that Wilks may be retained. 🤢

    Just heard that it wouldn’t be surprising if Stefanski keeps Wilks, guess he was the DC he would have brought on last year if he had gotten the job.

    not sure if I like that or not. He had a couple really good schemed games (Baltimore @ Balt. was a great defense) but then he got beat by Duck and some Denver QB that hadn’t taken a snap. I guess he can’t run on the field and tackle and cover players himself though. 
     

    might be nice to keep him on... No massive changes needed.

    1) I hope not!

    2) Wilks was the Coach & I saw nothing but regression. Our tackling is some of the worst I have ever seen & I expect players to be coached UP! Ours were not.

    Obviously, I'm no fan of Wilks, but...

  6. So, who would you pick as the next HC ?

    Robert Saleh from the 49ers is my guess to be the next HC. Ed Dobbs from the Colts to be next GM . If Josh McDaniels was going to be the HC he probably would have been given the job after his interview. Saleh seems to carry a hard nose attitude that this team desperately needs. Its possible that he would bring assistants from the 49ers on the offensive side.

    The more I see & read, the more solidly I'm on the Saleh train.

    McDaniels interviews tomorrow. He brings a winning tradition & a knowledge of how a successful franchise is run...IF he pushes the issue & IF the Haslams would listen, learn, & change accordingly, that could be a great thing.

    To this point, my favorite is Saleh.....we'll see what happens.

    No matter how things end up, I'm still (as always) a Browns' Fan.

    Chris Palmer, Butch Davis, Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, Pat Shurmur, Rob Chudzinski, Mike Pettine, Hue Jackson, Freddie Kitchens. All fired in the last 20 years. 

    ........Not ONE of those guys had successful HC experience BEFORE we hired them or AFTER we fired them, yet the Browns are still barkin' up the same tree!

    To quote an old folk song....."When will they ever learn?"

    And let's be honest, how long do we see both Landry and OBJ staying on the roster, especially considering how much money they both make and the big contracts coming up for guys still on their rookie deals? 

    In today's football, you are only a season away from a strength position turning into a depleted position. 

    Dutch, you hit the nail on the head!

  13. Browns to interview McCarthy

    I'm also convinced MM will end up elsewhere & that's too bad.

    The Haslams would rather trust McDaniels (who I believe they want).......He who failed as HC in Denver & bailed on the Colts after accepting their offer. Hadn't they already started the hiring process of "Fail & Bail Boy"s staff?

    After as many failures as the Haslams have had, & with this young team, I would think that going with successful experience IN THE POSITION & credibility might be wise.

    We'll see what happens, but if this HC decision ends in more failure, I'll not be surprised.

  14. Browns to interview McCarthy

    Ok, we have gotten past the interview with an experienced & successful HC (McCarthy). Now it's on to the IMPORTANT interviews....the Coordinators who have NOT been successful HCs, are young & will learn on the job with this very young team...seems to be the formula for all the FAILED HCs the Haslams have hired to date, so why not follow that trend?

    Hey, talk about "dumb luck", I got my avatar changed to one that is far more appropriate! Just kept trying different things until one finally worked. Wonder if that approach might work for the Browns?

    He's in love... it'll pass.

    Yup... feels like deja vu all over again.

    We searched high and low once before and spent so much time interviewing only to see good candidates get snapped up by other teams. IIRC we ended up with Chud.

    That's my fear & we would also be late in getting good coordinators. I am NOT a McDaniels' fan... I just don't feel he is to be trusted. I'm also not enamored with our 2019 OC & DC. I'm hoping the MM interview results in a hiring.

    PS: How do I change my avatar? I want to bring one of my old ones back.

    Actually if he's special teams coach did John Dorsey had more to do with that than anybody, he's the guy that drafted two Pro bowl-caliber kickers.

    WSS

    I'm not complaining about them, but the kickers had nothing to do with all the penalties we previously had on our return teams. Priefer ran the most disciplined unit (by far) on the Browns.

    Not unbelievable at all.  We’ve all watched Njoku drop passes during the games.

    He can’t drop passes period his run blocking or lack thereof means he needs to contribute to the team in the pass game.

    Back to discipline the report on Higgins early in the year was that he was called to play and he didn’t want to enter.  The other side was he was still nursing an injury.  Other than a nickname of “Hollywood” Since he was drafted have there been any diva moments from him?  Any dependability issues?  I can’t think of any or anything that could be dug up from Cleveland Media at practice facilities.  He was actually a guy that was humbled last season and released or almost released at one point.  Has Hodge really overtaken Higgins on the depth chart? 

    Actually, Higgiins got his "Hollywood" nickname as a kid. I remember an interview last year or before when he explained it.
