I think one of the most screwed up things this season, and I like Hue and I may be wrong, but I think Kessler is the most talented QB on the roster right now and Hue is refusing to use him because his skills don't mesh with how he wants to run the offense. This is my biggest reason for wanting Hue to have an OC and its because he will not talor his offense to the talent he has on hand. I mean Hogan isn't much different from Kessler, he doesn't have a rocket arm and he doesn't have any real talent out there to throw to, and he designed the game plan like Derek Anderson was running the show. Other than the win lose record last year, Kessler had great stats for a rookie, but Hue was very open about the fact that he wanted the ball pushed downfield and Kessler couldn't do it. 

Exactly- if Hue is married to his "system" and can't modify it to fit the talent he has on the roster, he should be gone. He's flip flopping from winning games to developing talent. Just hope Kizer develops enough to win a game or two.

I care that it's MKC! :)

If she wants to take a victory lap over something she said last December, so be it. But after a ten month silence, it carries little weight with me... no matter the writer.

And then there's this pearl: "I wrote it last December and I'm repeating it here: A personnel trio devoid of anyone who's ever assembled a winning football team isn't going to fly."

  1. We've had supposed assemblers of "winning football teams" heading up our org. They failed.
  2. Assemblers of winning football teams tend to stay employed by the orgs for whom they've built winners.

Tour- there's this little tidbit from the MKC article that gets to the bottom of a lot of fan's grief. 

"There's no way the Browns (edit: insert any other team) should be 1-21 after having 24 draft picks in the last two seasons and more cap space than they know what to do with. They never expected to go 1-15 last season, and they certainly never envisioned 0-6 this year."

OK, maybe she's fanning the flames of a fed up fanbase already on a short fuse ready to explode. But LOL, that guy you have on ignore could have written the article- in fact he was preaching it way before Mary Kay got around to it. Yeah- I hate the way he spouts off his messages- but you can certainly see he's not alone anymore with his POV. Of course hindsight is always 20\20. 

MHO? The only hope of keeping this regime intact is for Kizer to stop producing turnovers faster than a Pepperidge Farm Bakery. We might actually win a game or two.  :)

That draft cannot be underestimated in terms of how important it is. It should make or break the current regime.

If it doesn't work crooked Jimmy should sell up.

You're far more patient than I am, as I see the 2 previous drafts as cracking, if not breaking them already.... but yea, next year's draft will either be the nail in all of their coffins, or the beginning of a turn around..... finally.

Hue Jackson looks toast(and by his extension, Berry, since Hue had a large part of his coming to Cleveland). I think his poor coaching decisions and poor development has pissed the FO off. They didn't expect to win 10 games in the first 2 years, but he can't even barely get a win and whines about his failures.

He wasn't the analytics guys choice in the first place. He sweet talked Jimmy with his BS.

Who exactly was the analytics fags choice then? Do u even remember how bad last offseason was with all those coaches going somewhere, anywhere, else but cleveland? No one wanted to come gere. We were astounded that jackson agreed. And the only DC that agreed to come here was a retread from the one year chudzinski era.

No one wants to come here dude. Im not in the mood for another new coach announcement where we go "who"? The last guy we hired who i knew right away who he was, was mangini. Shurmur, chud, pettine.....i was like who the Shmuck is this now? 

Please, enough. I just hope to god haslem has the balls to ignore the Retarded section of the cleveland fan base.....for once. He's caved now what....2-3 times? With disastrous results?

I want to be the fly on the wall between SB & Huie if and when AJ McCarron does become a FA..A guy that does know hue's system with no modification Vs. The 3 blind mice picking another rookie QB..stay tuned

Believe me I'd love to blow it all up now, get all these losers out of our Browns.

Problem is that we're in such a bad situation that next man up isn't going to improve anything. Might as well let the Hue-Sashi-Baseball train ride all the way to its final destination, whether that's gonna be a crash or not.

I've been sick of regime changes since the Romeo o Romeo days, and that was like 10 years ago. Even after 2 crappyish seasons l was relieved they gave him a third year, and waddya know, we won 10 games that year.

I agree all the losing sucks balls, but l'm willing to ride this out a little longer. I like some aspects of the plan, like creating a foundation on each side of the ball by addressing the line and moving outward. O line improved, D line improved, and then build outward from there with skill players on offense and the secondary on defense.

If they want to throw another mind or 2 into the shot callers mix, that's fine, but the last thing l wanna see is another overhaul.

QB play is overrated when the offensive design is flawed in the first place. Hue's ego has killed him again. He will be replaced and I won't cry a tear. All QB's will look bad. All the time.

Hey... HEMPHEAD! Answer the fooking question!

Great football players dont always make great GMs.

I would interview every Super Bowl GM out of work. Mike Tannenbaum too if he is between jobs.

Different sport, but I doubt anyone would argue that Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan were all-time great basketball players.

They've been shitty running organizations.

I think Peyton would be a great QB coach or Offensive Coordinator. Could be a great head coach. But being a GM or President of a team is a different animal. Once again, I'm not saying he couldn't be good at it, but man the Browns would be rolling the dice.

Hey, baby steps, right? ;)

Btw, the "quote this" feature when you highlight part of someone's post is awesome. In the past I would have just ignored your post because I didn't feel like editing out everything other than the one line I was responding to. 

Great website.

So, you are saying that a GM that built a team good enough to reach a Super Bowl would be someone not to interview because they are not employed.

Makes sense.

What about John Dorsey? Drafted Rodgers and Mathews in Green Bay and built the Chiefs into a contender. KC let him go so he must be no good by your logic. Yeah, bring in some up and coming hotshot with no experience or track record and then in 3 years realize the guy is all hat and no cowboy.

The point of it all is for the Browns to hire a GM and HC with several years of experience. Screw the on-the-job- training way of doing things. John Dorsey would be an excellent choice for Browns GM. Mike Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan would win a lot of games for Cleveland.

Rex started losing in NY once Mangini's picks were phased out and he had brought his own in. Plus he nearly destroyed a solid Bills D.

I understand your "point... When it comes to the FO, I simply could not disagree with it more. HC? TBD...

You seemingly labor under the impression that GM's are the "superscout-decider" totally responsible "for building a Super Bowl winner"... and nothing else. In truth they are executives in an organization. They depend on others. They are responsible to others.

Dorsey is a great example. No one denies that he has an eye for talent. Also not denied? That he does not work and play well with others. Something KC learned over time. In the end they decided his "talent" was not worth the toll he inflicted on their organization.

I'd consider hiring Dorsey as a scout. I would not hire him in any supervisory capacity at any level of my organization. Browns did something similar when Sashi and Berry hired Ryan Grigson, who was installed as a direct report to Berry with no staff reporting Ryan.

As for OJT... your short-term thinking is showing... and that is what is "screwy". You hire a guy to get good and you are as good as that guy is for as long as he is there. You build an organization, a learning organization and it can be sustained indefinitely. It is not as if the scouts hired have no experience in scouting... just not scouting in this organizational structure... a structure you apparently do not understand, let alone know.

How would you like to be the guy that lights a fire under your QB's a$$ (Smith) with drafting MaHolmes, than follows ups by drafting Kareem Hunt? Than gets Fired, pretty much by Andy Reid imo? Dorsey & Gettleman bring far to much bull head-ness to a conscious "Good Camper" FO..Gettleman got fired for not wanting to extend Thomas Davis & Greg Olsen as veterans that Dave thought would take a $ hit to improve rest of roster..Now that part fits this office.What is your thoughts of Charlie Weis (ND/Pats) as Hues OC? a good listen on radio show now, but is he done in the Saunders, LeBeau Dayes?

Pre-Verbal "Nailed It".. Full Power people won't fit this FO even though Depo nor Grigson are not on my favorites list...Surely you read the Bill Polian rumors?

You want a proven GM but then you go and mention Rexy as a HC?  Rather self defeating argument there.

Rex had 2 losing seasons out of 7. How many winning seasons have the Browns had lately?

Jamie Collins came from a 3 - 4. Danny Shelton is the proto typical NT.
