^^^ that's the FO trying to save face. I can't believe Haslam is this dumb and can't figure it out. Banner is the issue.

Good night...is this all you guys do on here is argue with each other? I miss the days of people actually contributing with news, information, or personal opinions. This has become one giant ESPN First Take with nothing but arguing.

What do you think forums are for?

Anyway, MKC tweeted that the Browns plan to interview Whisenhunt.

What the hell are we supposed to do?

Pretend like we're some inside forum with all the inside information?

We hear news/reports/rumors, and we comment and yes, sometimes, argue about it. Who cares?

BTW, I like Whisenhunt more than any other name I have seen. He had it going in Arizona, until Warner decided to leave and he was then stuck with DA, Kolb, and Skelton as his QBs lol. He had Hoyer on his roster last year too, so he is familiar with him. He also knows the AFC North and knows what to expect as a NFL head coach the 2nd time through. He is much better than the following rumored people:

James Franklin: He has 3 years of HC experience at the college level. Never coached in the NFL. He would be overwhelmed. You can point to Chip Kelly, but he is the exception. He also had much more HC experience, while keeping his team a national title contender every year he was a head coach. James Franklin has had two 9-4 seasons at Vandy. Just doesn't seem enough to hire him as a NFL head coach.

Adam Gase: 35 year old child. Not only is this his FIRST year as an OC, but he has only been coaching since 2009. Not enough experience at all to be a NFL head coach imo. Also, let's be real here, Peyton Manning is the OC of that team.

Josh McDaniels: You guys already know how I feel about him.

Dan Quinn: Intriguing, but again he has only been a DC for one season.

Packers QB coach: LOL

Anyone else I am missing? All of this leads me to believe they need to give Mike Zimmer a fucking call

Yeah with that batch of candidates I think Whisenhunt needs to be at the top of the list. Will Banner and Haslem be willing to give him more say in the coaching staff that they didn't want to give him last year?

One thing you need to watch with Whiz though is that he loved the steelers castoffs and most didnt amount to anything.
Very good offensive mind. Not afraid to do the unexpected.

Wisenhunt would be a great hire, comparatively speaking, to the rest of the candidates.

Would fit in perfectly at Linebacker. Making tackles 20 yards down the field.

Sounds like a great replacement for Ben Taylor and Brandon McDonald.

Just kidding, Bmac couldn't tackle anyone.

90% of the posts consist of said and tiernan jerking off to eachother with thavoice adding his obvious attempts to jinx the browns. If classless dipshit some how gets involved in that thread, I don't see how the thrad could get anymore pathetic. The good thing, those posters are finally realizing where they belong.

I would like the Browns to bring Julian Edelman back to Ohio. Would have been nice if they closed things with him last offseason instead of trading for Bess. I'd imagine his price tag is going to be a lot higher now that he put up 100+ and 1000+. But a Gordon + 1st round WR with Edelman in the slot and Cameron at TE would be pretty nasty.

If they get a QB that isn't awful. Honestly, that would be overkill IMO. If they were to get Edelman(I highly doubt this happens) I wouldn't want a first round WR.
