If my memory serves me correctly, I believe Gase wouldn’t give the Browns the time of day before he took the Miami job. Baker Mayfield has given a lot of people that didn't give the Browns the time of day plenty of reasons to rethink that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flugel Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 The best news in all scenarios is Dorsey has earned Jimmy's trust regardless of his good friend Peyton's recommendation about 1 candidate. I'm sure Dorsey can easily persuade Jimmy that not all successful Coordinators/QB Coaches end up as ideal HCs (ie; Adam Gase, Norv Turner, Lindy Infante, Pat Shurmur, Josh McDaniel (while he has finally reached puberty - life without Tom Brady was a disaster worth remembering). There's also well respected DCs like Wade Phillips and Romeo Crennel that realized taking on all 3 phases, putting together a staff and supervising that staff is an entirely different animal... When it seemed this owner was finally committing to continuity (unfortunately on the wrong guy - Hue) - Dorsey reminded him continuity is only important if you have the right guy. Dorsey prolly remembered those 70s lyrics "it's sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along." Haley and Hue got their walking papers; and all of a sudden we finally looked like we had the right OC and right HC. The Titanic doesn't sink when you can see the glaciers... It would be nice if we could keep the coaching staff in tact that turned this thing around in 2018. What a refreshing feeling to end a season knowing most of the roster is EXCITED to be here and looking forward to next season. As outrageous as it was to type that, how many years did it seem like half the roster (by mid-season) were asking themselves "WTF am I wasting time and risking injury in this place for?" Then came the new coaches and new schemes in the next off season, which of course even deemed some productive players incompatible for the changes ahead... You better believe I'm excited we don't have to return to that nightmare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC mike Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I am fearing that we will get a new coaching staff and they will bring us down. Players responding to a different crew will be something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to be a fly on that wall. I'm glad they are early interviewees because they both have one major thing going for them, they were major cogs in turning this program into exactly what the Browns have been searching for since 1999 and they work very well together as they both do with the players who believe in them. If I were one of them I would emphasize that in the interview. If you have a watch that is working perfectly, would you start to tinker with it or let it do what you always wanted it to do? And if I'm Dorsey I'm telling them that I like where things are headed and in going through the interview process, someone will have to really prove to me they can do better than what is already happening with current staff.

I love the positive/competitive attitude, good locker room, & on field production/cohesiveness our Team shows (Williams & crew established that). The biggest challenge for Dorsey if he choses to go in another direction is to maintain those qualities while putting in place a long range plan. Dorsey is faced with a tough challenge, easily the toughest of all teams in a coaching search. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but trusting Dorsey on this one.

We have been fortunate unless Denzel Ward turns out to be too fragile for the NFL in which case Chubb would have been a great pic. Brilliant move to shitcan Hue and Haley but they didn't open the season has head coach at OC by accident. Garrett Njoku Peppers all good players.

After 1st review i was more squirm' ish than after gameday for both Freddie & Gregg. that won't change for a while it seems 🤞. I don't see it that they trust Freddie yet making the next jump. Freddie could take a HC'ing college job if money is his thing? Easily! Gregg imho has not got his defense to next level but, is his talent really much better clogged with some key team injuries? Like the Ward pick,but Ogbah and Coley failed Gregg imho. No doubt these players played hard for both guys after Hue stuck them 'all" in their Backs.

It’s two hours and only about one team. STOs Bruce Drennan show is real good too. He tends to poke some fun at the national dorks and point out how wrong they usually are.

Sometimes he gets into to much baseball & nba for me but (FF). The one guy caller, that Drennan lets in 'everyday' drives be nutz not getting shutdown swimming on different topics for 10 mins.(can't remember his name? Andre?)..Enjoy the heck out of Red zone.

Well, USA Today has the Browns coaching job #2 in most desirable only behind Green Bay. I was stuck listening to Cow-pie on my way to Indy. Colon not only hates Baker, thinks the Browns are going to flop in 2019, because we can't handle success. And, thinks Denver had a better season than the Browns, even though we beat them.
