I gotta admit the play calling was and has been odd. I just don't like it. Plays seem reactionary and predictable. Lack of adjustments or over adjustments. I'm of the camp Daboll's success has derived from the unique talent of Allen.
I don't think Daboll is a hack, but he has some catastrophic flaws and tendencies that will hold us back.
In the back of my head is Daboll's record. He reportedly had a bad relationship with Saban, and essentially took a lateral position to get out.
He has a ton of OC experience, mainly in bad situations of the last straw years of bad coaches.
2009 Browns offense ranked 32nd, 2010 Browns 29th. 2011 Dolphins 20th, 2012 Chiefs 32nd.
Then came exposure to Bill B and Saban, ironically both dedicated to running game coaches.
My solution is not to fire Daboll, but I think he needs help. I'd bring in an experienced run game coordinator. I'd revisit Johnson as OL coach.
