Clevfan4life Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 This is getting stupid. Manning, Gruden, ole ballcoach Saban, Mangini, Dungy...did I miss anyone? All of them were sure fire locks to come here within the last week or two. Stop. It's not good for us. It makes being a Browns worse, if that's possible. It's not fun anymore to think about "who could we get here", if they would even want to come here. Who worth a shit is going to come here if we fire Pettine? nobody that's who. Nobody worth a fuck is coming here on a year to year leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBrownsFan Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I supported the decision to fire Chud after only11 months but I later saw where I was wrong. Chud was dealt a horrible hand and not nearly given enough time before being axed. That firing helped poison the well for any new coaching candidate thinking about coming here. We went many weeks before finally replacing Chud with Pettine but that had less to do with doing due diligence and more to do with so many candidates not wanting one of the prized jobs in professional sports to be a head coach of an NFL team. Among other reasons I am sure one reason why candidates would not come to Cleveland was probably thinking they would be fired before given enough time to turn the team around. I would like to see Pettine given one more year. If he cannot turn the club around in 3 years at least he will have been given a fair shot.

Clevfan4life Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 You mean when we fire Pettine? It's Jon Gruden. Next question. 1) Grudens one of the guys i'd be ok with. 2) so you know he's coming here for a fact? has he been signed and sealed? no? then no sale. I'll accept a name like Gruden to replace Pettine IF AND ONLY IF he's signed on BEFORE we let Pettine go. Would you, TCPO, want to go through another offseason where we're begging CFL and D2 coaches to come here? If so, uninstall your Browns membership software.

Because I can't handle anything else. I don't think hiring a HC before firing your previous HC is something that's ever happened before, but only in Cleveland... Would I want to go through another offseason of that? No. But it's better than sticking to a guy who clearly is in over his head just for appearances. I fail to see how that makes me any less of a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Sorry....when a team is as poorly coached as this team has been all year......the rumors will abound. Nothing you can do to stop it.....so just quit crying over it. And furthermore if it is so obvious that this team sucks because of poor coaching somebody out there with the confidence that he could turn it around might just like the opportunity to do so. Given the proper amount of control of course. Meaning Bill Parcells might not want to accept what ray farmer picks for him.

Oh...I thought it was a one sided bet... my bad. Never mind. :-) I agree on Gruden....the dude is the highest paid ESPN employee....and he hasn't lost in how many years and doesn't have to work all that hard, especially by comparison to an NFL head coach. I get the ego thing and a coach wants to coach...but after awhile I've got to believe that part goes away and a guy thinks...shit...i'm making a fucking bundle of money to work like 90 days a year....I could go back to coaching and work 250 days a year and have all that pressure on me for not a whole lot more money.
