The Cysko Kid Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Look at what they've given Hue to work with. I can't believe some of you guys are calling for his head when he hardly has any players. Most of these guys wouldn't be on practice squads elsewhere.

The Gipper Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Im no front office executive but i know more than my fair share about the nfl. Fire another coach, enjoyed further suckitude. Its pretty damn simple. Edit: you enjoyed the farmer era? Based on what? Blown first round draft choices? If it is one thing Vag knows about its suckitude. For sure.

Osiris Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 For those that watched the last game, the announcers mentioned that they had been in Berea and that the morale and spirit of everyone there was not that of an 0-12 football team. I've heard similar comments from other media people and the players themselves. Everyone is positive because they feel like they are building something and more importantly because Hue Jackson keeps a positive spirit and gets more determined with every loss. He doesn't give up like Pettine and Co. did. Nothing more than that convinces me that Hue is the right coach for this job. We were never going to win a lot of games this year. Bill Bilichick maybe squeezes a couple out of this roster. The real barometer for Hue's success isn't wins and losses this year, but if he can steer the ship through the shit storm without losing his team's respect, and it's pretty clear that he's doing just that. Some Browns fans are so beaten down by the losing that they act like they want more of the same pain because that's what you're asking for when you call for Hue Jackson to be fired, and if Hue gets fired because of all your clamoring, you'll get what you deserve.

darren15 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have no qualms about Hugh staying ...I just want to see a football brain head the draft as GM and not someone who has no idea what they are talking about .... Sashi should be head of HR..... shopping for health plans etc not deciding what players we draft with 2 first round picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think "getting it"...the structure... is the issue....it is having faith in the ability of the occupants of that structure.

Osiris Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Amazed that folks still do not get our FO's structure... I suppose the idea of the team actually sticking with a regime and letting them build something instead of expecting instant success seems hard to grasp as it hasn't happened here in a long time. I don't think "getting it"...the structure... is the issue....it is having faith in the ability of the occupants of that structure. Or disagreeing with their tactic of stripping this team down to look like that statue a couple of posts above, then trying to recloth it using grass clippings and moss scrapings They aren't trying to recloth it using grass clipping and moss scrapings, they are trying to recloth it using grass seeds and saplings. They may not be much now, but they'll grow into something if you give it time. Whatever 'clothes' we had before stripping the statue down must've been picked up from the local thrift shop because it only got us three wins.

Whatever 'clothes' we had before stripping the statue down must've been picked up from the local thrift shop because it only got us three wins. Which is three more than we have now. I knew before the season we were going to suck, if you remember I put the over under odds at 2-1\2 wins and took the under. But this is an entire different category of suck. Non-competetive suck. Still remember the preseason bleatings- we're rebuilding , but we're trying to win- yeah right- whatever. If this is tank for Trubiski- I suppose I can deal with it.

Westside Steve Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Everybody, I mean everybody, expected a terrible season possibly the worst in history. Now all of a sudden everybody is shocked that it's coming to pass. I don't touch anything if I own the team. I would be tempted to shitcan the defensive coordinator because he sucked on so many times for so many years but if I'm going to give the rest of the team a break as they come together slowly I guess I can cut Ray Horton some slack. Falling apart at the end of the game winded and giving up points is kind of his MO though. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post, both as far as the job Hue's done morale-wise and the fate of our team if we fire him. I can't imagine what it feels like being part of an 0-13 football team. Keeping everyone positive through that kind of storm is a coaching positive all in itself, and Hue seems to have done that. Mud has talked about how all the losing might allow a culture to set in, which would lock the losing in place. Hue seems like the best guy to prevent that from happening. Through it all, I'm exciting about our direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaineDeSoulis Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Now your agenda is becoming even more clear. You like coaching searches more than actually winning. I'm actually not against that statement. I do enjoy the hunt for talent at all levels . This is likely why I follow the draft/ncaa football and the endless coaching changes around the league every year because projecting landing spots of talent is always fun but lets be honest with eachother the morning after a good win on sunday is something we can all look foward too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe some of you guys are calling for his head when he hardly has any players. Most of these guys wouldn't be on practice squads elsewhere.Hue Jackson is responsible for the 2016 draft that passed on the top 14 players to get more mediocre players. He owns this team! Kessler in the third still makes me cringe! Hue must not be fired though! He should be forced to coach these guys another year! He picked them; let him coach them.

And one thing that I've seen from this team is that it's a team that hasn't quit despite how bad the season has been and I credit the coach for that.

hoorta Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Fisher as DC and Harbaugh as HC? there have been some rumors that Harbaugh is headed to either Cleveland or the Rams this offseason I doubt he's leaving Michigan anytime soon- for about $9 million reasons. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/17892134/michigan-wolverines-coach-jim-harbaugh-salary-tops-list-college-football-coaches More than any NFL coach, including Belichick. He's got lifetime job security there too. There have been ZERO rumors of Harbaugh coming here as head coach. The rumors of him taking over the Rams just surfaced over the weekend and that train is picking up speed now that Fisher has been shit canned. Just like Goff, & the billion + pleasure palace, old Kroneke wants to make another splash. Better open your wallet Stan, Jim might start to get interested @ around $15 million, and a chunk of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Harbaugh will wear out his welcome in Ann Arbor... just not this soon. And no way he leaves before he beats Urban and the Bucks... Who is it you think DOES make the final decision? assuming its not Jimmy..... Berry? Sorry, no, I think Berry et al make the reccomendations and Sashi pulls the final trigger. If not...then why does he have the fucking job title. I written it up at least twice, Gip.... and posted at least two articles on it back when the FO was formed. That means you've read about it at least once and likely all four times.
