The Gipper Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I already listed all those names and more. The problem with your analogy is that when we hired BB, he ended up like he was Craig Ryan playing bass, but after he left he ended up performing like Paul McCarthy (oop, Freudian slip....McCartney) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ought to know what to do with Hunt/Chubb. Though we don't have a Lamar Jackson.....he should probably manage. Speaking of which....why had we not been using D'Ernest Johnson to return kicks instead of the useless Hilliard. Roman could get some use out of Johnson I bet.

Nice job missing the point as usual. Fruit from the Belichick tree means guys like Romeo Crennel not Belichick himself.

(don't trust BB assts.)..... why would I need to repeat the obvious? (but note....two of BBs asst's have their teams in the playoffs.....including Bill O'Brien and Vrabel....so how do they fit into your point? ) So, I just decided to make my own point.

You were just spewing shit out of your blowhole because you didn't understand the original post. 😂 WSS Sorry you can't keep up with an argument/ line of reasoning. I understood the original point perfectly: better than you understood your own point. You said you would be weary of hiring Josh McDaniels because he is "fruit of the Belichick" tree. I said I understood your reservation... you cited Romeo, .but, I pointed out that both Bill O'Brien and Mike Vrabel....both of whom have their teams in the playoffs, are fruit of the BB tree. Then the question with Tour turned to whether or not he, or you or we should have confidence in a retread coach. He seems to have reservations.....you seemed not to because you indicated that you would be willing to flow with McCarthy. You, then, have your teeth into BBs dick so tight that you cannot stomach any criticism of him....ergo, you ignore his 4 out of 5 losing seasons here...and his 36-44 record here in Cleveland......but I did point out that BB, being a "retread"....is the prime example of perhaps hiring a retread may not be a bad idea. You used the BB coaching tree failures as a reason to not hire Josh McDaniels. What went unsaid in that....by me, or others, is that both of your objection to McDaniels can be countered by the above facts: A. O'Brien and Vrabel....both BB trainees are having current success; and B. BB himself was a retread, just like McDaniels would be after his failure in Denver. Ergo, I would not, personally, reject McDaniels for the reasons you espouse. While past history has not been kind to BB disciples: Romeo/ Charlie Weis/McDaniels in his first go around. And Al Groh, Mangini, Jim Schwartz and a couple of others (Saban as an NFL coach, Patricia).....have not done so well..... a couple have done well. So, in principle, I am open to McDaniels. The things that bother me more is the Indianapolis situation...and the fact that he may in fact be the heir apparent to BB in New England. And, if that is the case, he needs to take himself out of the running up front, and not even accept interviews from other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 First I think we can all rest easy because I don't think that Billy B. won't be coming back to Cleveland any time soon -but- that doesn't mean that I wouldn't consider one of his staff if I thought they could be what the BROWNS needed in a new HC. AND as far as Billy B's record in Cleveland as HC it was far better than before and after he had the job and if you think our Brownies are bad now they were bad back then too. And remember most things in life are relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
