stillmotion Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Looks like Mike is coming back into the league. I was definitely frusturating during his era in Cleveland, but looking back on it he was leaps and bounds better than Hue. I hope he gets the gig.

Mr. Make-Believe Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I like Pettine. Yeah I hope he gets the gig. I still think he could be a successful head coach if he can ever clear himself of the PTSD of his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bone Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I always liked Mike's honesty. I sometimes liked his game day coaching. I never liked his defense. I still dislike (mom taught me to never hate) Huey with every fiber of my soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Good luck to him. He was a lousy coach for us. The players used to call him The Ghost. He just walked around the practice field saying nothing...teaching nothing. He attempted a 60 yard FG with Devon Hester standing in the middle of the end zone waiting to return it. TWICE! 'Cos the dopey Atlanta coach called time out to ice the kicker....so Pettine got to SEE Hester catch the ball in the middle of the end zone.....but he did it again anyway....and Hester ALMOST returned it for a TD. - Remember, a FG is NOT like a punt. The players have to stay at the LOS and block for the FG. No gunners of any sort. Hester was able to catch the ball with PLENTY of green grass in front of him.

The Gipper Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Pettine's problem was that he was supposed to be a defensive guru....yet, in his second season here, he had THE worst defense in the NFL. I mean, he seemed a great guy...and a lot of us blamed his DC O'Neill.....but O'Neill was running Pettines defense, and Oh...did I say...it wasTHE worst in the NFL. Lets see how he does this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that per PFR that's not the case. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cle/ Plus in his first season, the season he ran his D while Young Shanny tended to the O, he had the 9th ranked scoring D.... so there's that. In season 2 Shanny left, Mike moved to the O-side, O'Neil ran the D... and the rest is history... just not worst in the NFL that year. Interesting aside... Since the NFL has been a 32-team league (2002) the Browns' Defense has never ranked last in Points or Yards Allowed. Can't say the same for the Offense which has been #32 twice in Points Scored (2017, 2005) and once in Yards Gained (2009). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2017 Browns were 32d in scoring offense.....31st in scoring defense 2016: 31st in scoring offense...30th in scoring defense 2015: 30th scoring offense...29th in scoring defense. So...big effing deal...they were not 32d...but they were 31st/30th/29th. But....OK...give us 2014 when the defense was 9th in scoring defense.

Except, of course, I was NOT wrong. The Browns have been 32d in point differential three years in a row. I did edit in a correction because I had looked at the wrong columns in the PFR website....but I corrected that like 10 seconds later. Or is this just another case of you being a pedantic puss.
