Tour2ma Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Bit of a dice roll, but why the hell not... From the DawgsbyNature article: "Cleveland needs to get in on the ground floor with a bright young mind to help steer the offense in the direction in which the NFL is headed. He's a passing guy, which may throw some off, but the league has been trending that direction for a while." Pet can help him embrace the run.

Zombo Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/01/john_defilippo_hired_by_clevel.html MOBILE, Ala. - The Cleveland Browns have decided on Oakland Raiders quarterbacks coach and Youngstown native John DeFilippo to be their new offensive coordinator, Northeast Ohio Media Group has confirmed. DeFilippo, a rising young offensive star in the NFL at the age of 36, worked with Mike Pettine in 2009 when both were with the New York Jets. DeFilippo, as quarterbacks coach that year, helped then rookie Mark Sanchez lead the Jets to the AFC Championship Game. Pettine was defensive coordinator at the time. DeFilippo interviewed for the Browns coordinator position last year before they settled on Kyle Shanahan. Pettine said then that DeFilippo "had an outstanding interview'' with the Browns. He interviewed with the Browns again last week. DeFilippo remained with the Raiders and earned praise for his work with rookie quarterback Derek Carr. DeFilippo's ran through the 2014 season and the Raiders were interested in keeping him, a source said. He was the Raiders' quarterbacks coach for five seasons: 2007-08, and then 2012-14. This will mark his debut as an NFL coordinator. News of DeFilippo's hiring was first reported by Fox Sports' Alex Marvez. More information on DeFilippo's coaching resume from the Raiders web site: Prior to rejoining the Raiders in 2012, DeFilippo coached at San Jose State from 2010-11, serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2011, and quarterbacks coach in 2010. He was assistant quarterbacks coach for the New York Jets in 2009. During his tenure at San Jose State, the Spartans ranked 23rd in the nation with 276.8 passing yards per game and jumped 32 places nationally in total offense from the previous year. The team also set a single season school record with 297 pass completions. DeFilippo tutored QB Matt Faulkner, who ranked second in the Western Athletic Conference in passing by completing 274 of 422 attempts for 3,149 yards and 13 touchdowns. In 2010, he coached QB Jordan La Secla, who was with the Raiders in training camp in 2011. DeFilippo's NFL coaching career began with the New York Giants in 2005, when he served as offensive quality control coach on Tom Coughlin's staff for two years. He helped the Giants to two postseason appearances, and New York posted a 19-13 regular-season record during his time there. He joined the Giants after two seasons as quarterbacks coach at Columbia. From 2001-02, DeFilippo was a graduate assistant at Notre Dame, working with wide receivers and tight ends under Bob Davie in 2001, and with quarterbacks under Tyrone Willingham in 2002. He began his coaching career tutoring quarterbacks at Fordham in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuwoohio Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Was thinking the same thing Mudfly. Might actually make sense with JF. I do like hiring the younger guys for coordinators instead of the failed head coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFBF Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm wondering if he's going to run the ZBS scheme or if our OL is going to have to learn yet another method, and also how it's going to impact our RB's. Our Rushing game was pretty bad prior to going to the ZBS, and then tanked when we couldn't field a serviceable Center. I've read he's more of Passing/Long Ball type guy, which doesn't really go with Pettine's preference to Ground & Pound - more like a Norv Turner O?. He did well with Carr in Oakland, so maybe he can do something with what we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Aside: FoxSports seems to get all the scoops anymore. Seems like every article including ESPN's includes the phrase "as first reported by (so-and-so) of FoxSports". http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/01/john_defilippo_hired_by_clevel.html Sanchez in our QB mix is a possibility, but of more interest to me will be QB Coach choice. I wonder if Frank Cignetti, Jr. will emerge. Just surfaced as a possible OC candidate and has crossed coaching career paths with DeFillipo. BTW, I am not spelling out Defilippo for the next couple years. What do we go with: John D JD D-flip Defi Coach D Flipper was taken? Too FLA-ish? I'm wondering if he's going to run the ZBS scheme or if our OL is going to have to learn yet another method, and also how it's going to impact our RB's. I'm hoping ZBS as well. It was just too good early with Mack at C to abandon. That said we had element of power scheme as well last year, both with and without Mack, and without Mack it worked better than the ZBS... at least wide.
