As our Browns version of the Three Stooges keep paddling the canoe around in circles in hopes of hiring a new coach, I have some observations to make...
There is a perception that no self-respecting coach will come to the Factory of Sadness. This is wrong. I am sure there are coaches with enough self-confidence to believe that they can achieve where all others, in all other regimes since our rebirth have failed. It's called brash over-confidence, and lots of coaches have it. Don't worry the Stooges will beat it out of you inside of a year.
Josh McDaniel is smarter than I thought...he decided to exercise patience and avoid our giant dumpster fire of a front office.
We are once again in a position of "settling" for a young coordinator, yet another unproven commodity to pin our hopes on.
Banner and Lombardi have exactly NO margin for error with the fans...this is it, last chance to fix it, if only because THEY sure didn't give Chud any votes of confidence, or chances to learn from his mistakes.. What goes around comes around.
Haslam really wants to win. I do believe that. I just fear he doesn't have the front office personnel in place to help him do it.
"
Flatly denying any interest in the "Sweater Vest" or Stoops was short-sighted and very poor public relations. It allowed us no room to pursue them after McDaniel said thanks but no thanks...Lombardi has a egg the size of Texas on his face. His man crush on McDaniel was there for all to see.
The ONLY way the Stooges can fix it is to make a HUGE, UNEXPECTED SPLASH with the new hire. Some one with a big name and instant respect in league circles. I'm talking Chuckie, Cowher, Tress, Stoops etc etc,,,they have PROVEN they will not allow a new coach time for on the job training and that the time to win is now. So go get a proven winner to fix it.
They will NEVER do that...and in 2015 or 2016 we will be doing this all over again.
The Factory is working three shifts at the moment...
GO BROWNS!!

Credibility? Not So Much.

This is one time I partially disagree with you. We are already considered the laughingstock of the NFL. But I'm not about to label our front office the three stooges. They have only been in place 1 year. I love the fact we finally have an owner who wants to win as bad as we do.You have to go back pre-Modell to find that. Chud obviously wasn't doing things he was told or suggested, that's why he was fired. Lets give the owner a few years, we owe him that much.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree that Haslam wants to build a winner....but it strains the limits of credibility in my mind when you hamstring a 1st year coach with questionable personal decisions that seem very much future facing and then fire him for not winning....With Weeden, McGahee and Campbell playing??? As I told Steve..I would be very happy with Ken Whisenhunt at this point, Hard-nosed tough guy, just what we need.
