Westside Steve Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sometimes this sounds like that girlfriend you couldn't stand and were planning to dump as soon as you got the opportunity. Then she dumps you and you cry all night about it. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Never Forget: At Least 6 Candidates Said No To Coaching Division-Leading Browns It's also worth remembering those who turned down a chance at the job and/or pulled their name from consideration before they could be offered the position. OK, ready? Josh McDaniels, currently Patriots offensive coordinator. Todd Bowles, currently Cardinals defensive coordinator who just reportedly received a contract extension. Adam Gase, currently Broncos offensive coordinator. Another who was considered for the job and maybe would have taken it if it weren't for that pesky Super Bowl ... Dan Quinn, currently Seahawks defensive coordinator. Others who reportedly interviewed ... Greg Schiano (!!), currently unemployed after the Buccaneers fired him. Dirk Koetter, currently Falcons offensive coordinator. Plus, there were others. All of this is to remind you that Pettine took a job that had been turned down several times, enough so that it took nearly a month for the team to hire a coach after firing Rob Chudzinski. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24803787/reminder-these-are-the-coaches-who-didnt-want-the-browns-job http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/throwback/201411/never-forget-least-six-candidates-said-no-coaching-division-leading-browns OK, now find me a winning coach in that bunch. The best is perhaps Todd Bowles....and his team just cacked up a furball. Honestly....I am not sure that any of them are that much better than Pettine.

OldBrownsFan Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 OK, now find me a winning coach in that bunch. The best is perhaps Todd Bowles....and his team just cacked up a furball. Honestly....I am not sure that any of them are that much better than Pettine. I guess that is even worse than I thought because coaches who aren't even that great are turning down the chance to come to Cleveland (and that is the point). We have a bad track record in Cleveland of hiring and firing head coaches. In Chud's case he got less than 12 months before being axed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly....I am not sure that any of them are that much better than Pettine. I think Dan Quinn will be fine, but really they're all younger, fresher prospects who are still largely unproven. Hard to reach a verdict on any of them yet. Except maybe Schiano - who is not younger, fresher, and unproven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Article on who we're looking at: http://espn.go.com/blog/cleveland-browns/post/_/id/17578/browns-coaching-search-seven-interviewed-none-hired-yet I could be mistaken, but if it's Patricia we really want, I don't think we can officially hire him, or announce we hired him, until after his season with the Patriots is over. Problem with that is, their season could go on for several more weeks, and there's no guarantee we'll get him. So if we wait that long and he stiffs us...we could be down to the bottom of the barrel. Sound familiar? Exactly it- if we want Patricia, we had better hope the Chiefs beat the Patriots. Coaching prospect aside, I wouldn't mind that scenario at all.

gumby73 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Gut feeling.. Hue Jackson will not come here to face Marvin Lewis & Natty. 1. Hue takes Natty job if Marvin Lewis is booted, 2. if not he takes Giants for talent or 3. Goes home to 9ers. Jackson is out. Lovie Smith is the guy to fix a Defense & did pretty well with a rookie QB, make the call, talk .can't hurt at this point. Patricia or Lovie is a better feel than C. Kelley or Sabin at this point..

LogicIsForSquares Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yup.... and just to let him know how much we love him we mount a big push for Hugh Jackson... Yeah haha. This is a big gamble. If Jackson balks, they are stuck looking like real assholes and will have to go to their second choice with hat in hand.
