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.

I actually think Pettine is a decent coach. The Browns just have no talent.

+1 agree. The first intelligent move Haslam has made since becoming owner.

I agree it would be a very un-Browns smart move. Now let him cut all ties with Johnny Football and watch the Browns improve.

they will draft a QB, part ways with Manziel, and keep McCown. IMO.

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:

Johnny Manziel will not play Sunday due to a concussion; Austin Davis will start at QB #Browns #Steelers http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14473015

Do Browns know that lack of balance, the room spinning, nausea and loss of memory isn't necessarily a concussion?

it's called trade value, it may look better to say concushion over partying all night, again.

you should read their message boards; all-stars galore.

I know they have several former bills(and jets) coaches. Perhaps a guy like Jim oneill gets canned as d coordinator and steps back to a lb coach role

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 …

I was thinking the same.

Hilarious.
