Problem is- should the Browns get blown out by the Ravens, and then lay an egg against the Bengals the following week- John Boy is going to have a big PR problem hanging on to a coach that 1\2 the National media have been saying all year was a big mistake over his head first time HC. Bingo. A few weeks ago it appeared that the Browns would end up 8-8, which is (slightly) better than the 7-8-1 of last season, and there would be those divisional wins vs Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cincinnati. If the Browns finish 6-10? Along with all the shenanigans that occurred during this season? Man, that's a tough sell for Dorsey. Literally the only argument for Kitchens at that point would be "you really don't want to fire a head coach AGAIN after one season." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Kitchens' fate seems to be diabetes. Probably a heart attack incoming at some point, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be doing ANYTHING but coaching right now to extend his life, but I guess it's his call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good Youtube video about it. The man should've died while working with the Cards. He basically blew out a heart valve before practice and had to go through like 10 hours of surgery or something crazy like that. He got a new valve from a pig and apparently he's doing better. But he's a miracle walking. I think this link is the one I'm thinking of, but not totally sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Well then, we should relieve him of the stress of an NFL HC job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike others I don't have a ton of problems with his play calling. Team discipline on the other hand seems to be lacking. Again, it seems that a lot fans in here continue to hold coaches more responsible than GMs and forgive players almost entirely. The issues I see. Baker Mayfield - he hasn't been good. Not sure about blaming the play calling when he misses guys that are open, doesn't trust throwing guys open, holds the ball to long on certain routes and has consistently missed high. Offensive Line - Screw John Dorsey. For a GM to believe this cast of characters would be good enough to compete for a playoff spot is an indictment on that GM. OBJ Trade - Screw Dorsey again. Weakened the OL for a guy who appears to be overrated. OBJs hands have been average at best, doesn't seem to separate as well as one would hope and is still a distraction (watch, visor, does he want to be here) Secondary - Screw Dorsey once again. Ward has been good but not to the level of the #4 pick, Williams is awful, Randall is very inconsistent and what's with all the hamstring issues? Losing Peppers hurt us in the run game so another thanks Dorsey Attitude - Team is not focused and lacks leadership. Baker, Landry, Garrett, Ward, OBJ, etc. are not leaders. Chubb who is clearly 110% of what Cleveland is about and needs, is a quiet guy and doesn't seem like the guiding force. Freddie doesn't seem capable in this area either.

jiggins7919 Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'd be absolutely shocked if Mike McCarthy isn't the coach next year. I give it 85% McCarthy, and 15% Josh McDaniels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep....he backed out on Indianhapless in January 2018. Edited December 24, 2019 by Bob806 Correction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give it 85% McCarthy, and 15% Josh McDaniels. Prepare to be shocked then. Dorsey & Wolf know exactly what they'd be getting in Mike, and I doubt they'll be interested. If you saw the McCarthy interview, he essentially has his entire coaching staff in place already, they've been hanging out at Mike's house for months. So if you want Mike the whole package comes along for the ride. Think Dorsey will buy into something like that? I sure as hell don't. Too early to speculate, but I'd put better odds on Greg Williams coming back as HC than I would on McCarthy getting the job. We'll let our Vegas odds shark mjp give us the line on the probability of Freddie getting fired first. Should he manage to lose to the Bengals Sunday, I'd say they're prohibitive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct 'Peen. Rupture an aorta badly enough, and you bleed to death before they can ever get you to a hospital. Depending on where the leak is, the surgery can be really tricky.

I don't know my friend. Dorsey lost a power struggle in KC. I get the feeling Dorsey is only interested in hiring a coach he has under his thumb. I don't think he wants a coach who knows what he wants. Dorsey wants a coach who takes what he is given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
