Pettine officially fired by Browns; Marrone to interview

Keeping Pettine and firing the GM makes little sense. Pettine will end up being a lame duck just waiting to get fired so the new GM can hire his own coach. That, or the GM they hire will have little power over the coach of his team. Sort of like what we have here.

 

Keeping a coach and firing the GM doesn't work in general. I like Pettine, but his resume is pretty light to force a new GM to keep him as well.

They are probably coming to the conclusion that they cannot attract any kind of quality HC at this stage with this hiring/firing record since the 'Cheat:

The coaches they have selected are so awful, that's the problem. No decent HC prospect wants to go there because it is a clown show--from the crooked owner on down.

 

Of course they kept Pettine--to them he looks just fine.

Just another Charlie Brown Christmas. 2 players arrested Christmas morning and another drunk rap video by the QB. The best part about the new Manziel video isn't the Four Loko, it's the Merry Manzielmas Christmas sweater.

Again!?! :doh: How long before he's a Dallas Cowboy? He and Jerrah can party together just like other owners and QBs do. :rolleyes:

There are very few HC's that can be a HC & a coordinator or play caller, the only one that i can think of off the top of my head is Mike McCarthy in GB when he wasn't calling plays they were losing when he does they win .

 

Some HC's are just better at multitasking & I'm not sure if Rex is ?

 

Pettine on the other hand was good as a DC both in NY & in B/Lo but let his crony do the play calling for the Browns so maybe him being more involved with the play calling would be a good thing !

 

Thurman on the other hand I THINK sucks ! I just never liked the guy from the get go when they said they were bringing him with Rex . I don't think he knows how to scheme to the players strength .

 

I think if Rex has called the plays this year on the D he needs to do something different or if Thurman has then there definitely needs to be a change I just can't make myself like the guy …
