Oddly enough both teams had issues on the defensive side of the ball; last year's NO team had a good D Yep. Similar reason that Reid is successful in KC after flaming out in Philly. Coaches have to be fluid and willing to change when necessary. 1 minute ago, Buffalo Bills Fan said: I wonder if he'll turn the job down lol I could see him get legitimate HC looks if he doesn't stay with the Browns.

Personally as much as I can't beleive I am saying this, butGreggo and Kitchens deserve a fair shot
patzen Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 If true, I love this hire for them. People hate on him but I think he's a good coach.
TC in St. Louis Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I think Gregg has finally found his comfort zone. He has a quarterback who is as intense as he, and he really is a motivator. I'd keep Gregg Williams if I were the Browns. McCarthy is mediocre.

Mike was always an underachieving coach in Green Bay. He had maybe the second best quarterback in the NFL behind Brady and yet his defenses always sucked. I agree this will be a mediocre hire if it happens. Anyway I see Baker Mayfield's personality imploding long before McCarthy can do any damage.....
Buffalo86 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I think McCarthy's teams seriously underachieved considering the amount of talent they had over the years (maybe not so much this year, but still). IMO, the Browns would be better off sticking with what they have.

JoPar_v2 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 This is bad for Baker. MM is a unimpressive playcaller. Mayfield is a great improvisational QB and MM is going to handcuff him. Bad hire if true but I don’t expect much from Haslem. If this was Dorsey’s hire I’d be surprised.
Ol Dirty B Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 McCarthy is an awful coach. Congrats browns. I only wish that Miami was hiring him after firing Gase and keeping Tannehill. I kind of feel bad for their fans. McCarthy becomes coach of the Bills, we're rioting right?
Doc Brown Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I don't see how a reporter from the Arizona Republic hearing about it makes it a done deal. It's been reported they contacted Mike McCarthy. Gregg Williams still set for an interview.

You expect a guy who has been the interim coach for half a season and done a good job to accept a new guy coming in and him being demoted back to DC? I guess it could happen but since it is known that Greggg is an A-hole, I don't think it would work. 1
Nextmanup Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I'm not a huge McCarthy fan, but he's a huge upgrade for the Browns, if they really do hire him.

Mccarthy worked wonders with a young Aaron Rodgers so Mayfield will be in very good hands I just hope they don't turn that defense into a 3-4 like McCarthy did in GB, that would be a waste of Myles garrets talent imo. What wonders did McCarthy work with Rodgers? The myth that he magically developed while sitting on the bench behind a HOF QB?
CLTbills Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I think this is a terrible idea for Cleveland. As great as Kitchens has been with Baker, I think the last thing you want is a coach that's going to fire everybody and bring in an entire new staff...
LabattBlue Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I like how everyone claims McCarthy is awful. Two years ago when the Bills were looking for a coach, if McCarthy had been available, the clamoring for him would have been over the top.

The myth that he magically developed while sitting on the bench behind a HOF QB? There were a lot of rumors that Rodgers has kind of went rogue the last couple years. He is a great QB, an all time great, but if true, he caused a lot of the problems on offense too. I wouldn't love the hire of McCarthy if true, but he was a good coach for years. I don't fault him entirely for the defenses he fielded because he didn't draft the players. Notice that the GM was fired last year and they haven't been as good because of the roster. Dorsey is known as a great talent evaluator, so the talent should be there.
Ittakestime Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Andy Reid type KC impact with Cleveland if this is true. People underestimate what an idiot Rodgers is.
