The Gipper Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Chip Kelly imo runs an unreasonable offense for the nfl. There is a reason he's struggled since the one season he took the league by surprise. The Browns would need to change a large part of their team to make his quick offense work. Yea, maybe, but, oddly JFF is one guy that could perhaps run that offense. Firing yet another coach is one of the bigger mistakes the Browns could make. It is a vexing conundrum.....get rid of someone you think may be inept (this defense is clearly ineptly run) or give a guy time to work out of it. Yes, a number of coaches started out poorly their first few years, but went on to do well: Noll, Walsh, Belichick, Landry etc. Hard to say what we have here. When was the last coach that was actually able to make a mark on a team in Cleveland? Butch Davis could have.....but he overreached. Continuity and trust will go a long way with pettine. You can't keep white washing the process and expect something to miraculously change. You should hope that if haslam learned anything while part of the steelers it was that continuity is important. No way would I fire pettine after one season. It has been two seasons now......and the fact is....Pettine has gotten worse. Last week was one of the worst coached game in the last 15 years.....and there have been a lot of bad games in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagitron Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Another point worth mentioning is coaches not wanting to coach in Cleveland because they know if they have a rough start they may get tossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvoethe Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yep, plus he didn't want to come here, said we didn't have enough talent. So what does he do in Philly? Purges the talent they had (McCoy, Maclin, DeSean Jackson, etc.). I think the Browns could beat the Eagles right now. You had me till....I think the Browns...

gumby73 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Kelly will get the same millions to go fix USC/LSU or any college coach opening to coach Kids cause he sure the hell can't handle Grown Men.. Dungy would be like watching Banner fall asleep in the middle of a presser. Get Younger with some Fire on the podium please.. A Bryan Kelly @ND would be a better Kelly along with Leroy Kelly..

MLD Woody Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 If we're going to get a new coach, we need to take a chance or get a big name. Fuck that one guy that used to coach some other team but was fired. Give me an innovator, a young guy with potential, or go all in on a big name.

DeputyDawg Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hasn't Dungy been retired for a while? That implies to me he doesn't want to work again, so why would we want him? Isn't it better to keep someone who wants (hopefully) to prove themselves? These are genuine questions, I'm not intending to sound sarcastic.

Clevfan4life Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 there's only one guy i would say fire pettine if this person came available...and that's Cowher. Who has probably zero intention of ever coaching again. So we stick with Pettine and see what he can do once his guys are in place. That's that.

hoorta Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Chip Kelly...hell no! ^+1. Anyone who watched the Lions plaster the Eagles today still want him? I agree with Vag- Kelly has been figured out. Too bad we don't play the Eagles this year. The guy is a control freak that can't evaluate talent on the Pro level. Ran off some mighty good players I'd be happy to see on the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opal312 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Kelly cleaned,house by getting rid of all their star players, then got Deer caught in headlights, Bradford who's terrible! Demarco,Murray doesn't fit his system and they just lost to the Lions by 30 points, last week to Bucs by almost 30. A rookie QB TOSSED 5 touchdowns against this group. Kelly is horrible. But he would clean house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Kelly inherited a decent team looking to go to the next level. He had some success with the players they had, including Shady, Foles, Jackson, & Maclin, then he wanted to run it all his own way, sung a browns-worthy trade for Sam Bradford, is surprised at his non-elitenes and injury proneness, and his team is now sitting at 4-7. What about this exactly screams 'hire me just as soon as I'm fired from my current job'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconHound Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Yeah... Uh... Jim isn't leaving any time soon lol. He could have had half of the HC jobs in the NFL last year if he wanted them. Never said he was. That would be the only coach I'd want at this point in time other than Mike Pettine. Even if the hoodie wanted to be in Cleveland, no thanks unless it was a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
