Peter Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I suppose I will now root for the Pats to beat the Broncos so that the Broncos' OC is available for the Browns to hire sooner rather than later. Edited January 16, 2014 by Peter
gobillsinytown Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Pettine is doing what's right for his career. I would be surprised if he gets the gig though. I live about an hour away from Cleveland and the rumor is that the Browns want someone with at least some HC experience at the NFL level. That being said, it seems like owners are going with a youth movement when it comes to the HC position, so I suppose he's just as much of a viable candidate as any of the other coordinators that they've talked to. Anybody who's thinking of taking the Browns job has to have some second thoughts about Haslam though. Letting Chud go after one season made no sense at all. Some people in the area are thinking that Haslam is the second coming of Dan Snyder or Jerry Jones.......completely unwilling to give up control and let the football people make the decisions.
DrDawkinstein Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 That is great news for him. It is terrible news for Bills Fans. The Browns would be dumb enough to hire him as a HC right now too...
T master Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Marrone will probably hire Crossmans brother in law because they use to hang out in college . He won't take into consideration that his record SUCKED but at least he'll have another homey to bro around with ... If Pettine goes they need to fire the rest of the bunch of the coaches because Pettine was the only saving grace of the hire !! If the defense would have done as well as the offense, O line , or Special Teams we would have been the team that was 2 - 14 . Marrone hit the lotto by hiring Pettine the rest of the league sees it & are now trying to take the best thing that Marrone has shown any one in his first year as a NFL HC which was his D coordinator !!!
BuffaloBillsForever Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 The Browns would be dumb enough to hire him as a HC right now too... If Pettine goes to the Browns I think it is the best hire out of all the current positions that have been recently filled.
fakeeyed Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 It's still more probably that Cleveland goes with Adam Gase (DEN OC) or Dan Quinn (SEA DC), but I'm still worried we lose Pettine earlier than expected. I figured he wouldn't be here super long, but 1 year would be a huge disappointment.
DC Tom Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Not to get ahead of ourselves, but who would become the DC? Wade Phillips is available.
White Linen Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Funny how I took a lot of crap for starting this topic http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/159382-how-long-does-pettine-stay-with-us/#entry2842376
NoSaint Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I think Cleveland has their #1 choice in a final four playoff team and is simply killing time here. As many said, he'd get a mention this year but not serious consideration til next - this feels like that.
Rico Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Just imagine how non-blind homer Browns fans would react if their team hired a co-ordinator from the Buffalo Bills to be their new HC. Talk about a hard sell to the fanbase... I just can't see this happening.
QB Bills Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Looking forward to seeing Marcus Mariota in 2015.
thewildrabbit Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Wade Phillips is available. Yea, Ralph wouldn't mind that hire

Just giving the guy an interview gives Pettine viability, and plants the seed for other teams to think about him
3rdand12 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Come here Rex, come a great chance to show up your bro! His Brother is available i hear. That might be fun ! seriously Wow, that's a shocker. I believe he would be the 1st Bills assistant to be hired away by another team as HC since Marchibroda, Hate to see him go, but good luck if he leaves. Well said. He deserves the offering. I dont think he is ready or will take or the offer But its a compliment to him for sure . Kudos Mike P ! Now show me you can fix the run defense . I know I am, panicking that is.... This was also just reported on NFL network Word is that now the Browns can take their time finding a new HC and the first choice is the Broncos OC Adam Gase Me too i will take stand upon the Other side for now. I am not googly eyed over him. at all.Did he fix A Williams Did he fix L McKelvin. he did create one hell of a pass rush though , and also create pressure from thin air ( respect) too. Damn nice work Mike ! Edited January 16, 2014 by 3rdand12
NoSaint Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Just giving the guy an interview gives Pettine viability, and plants the seed for other teams to think about him He wasn't a secret before - he was (and is still) in that second tier of guys that aren't likely hired for another year or two but are likely to get a shot soon unless something surprising happens. Maybe Cleveland surprises and pulls the trigger but the jobs been open 2.5 weeks and he's been available to interview for 2.5 weeks. The common guess would be that they are waiting for someone and just doing their due diligence in the meantime just in case. Edited January 16, 2014 by NoSaint
GA BILLS FAN Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Interesting . . . . most people would tell guys to JUMP if they have a shot at one of only 32 HC jobs in NFL --- however, this one has turned off almost every person that has interviewed for it ---- one would think Pettine would be able to land a better situation if he waited a year, but, a bird in hand . . . . my bet is he gets offer and takes it ---- will be devastating to Bills as he was the best Marrone hire
