He's like the Browns 4th/5th choice and the only guy that will take the job. He will have no real power in the organization, and is just happy to be called a head coach.

If Pettine was the guy all along they should have hired him 3 weeks ago so they could fill the assistant coaching spots with better talent instead of the scraps that are left now that the rest of the league has staffed up.

I hope the media takes the gloves off at the introductory presser and asks Haslam why he and his management team can't sell this team to prospective coaching targets. Why do we get stuck hiring coordinators off losing teams because 3-4 guys turn us down first. Is that really the best we can hope to expect with this group?

As someone on the OBR pointed out, the only good thing about this hire is that we can use Goldberg's theme music to bring him out with. Other than that it is just another in the long line of failure that is the unholy trinity of Banner/Haslam/Lombardi.

I told it loud and proud the day he was hired he was a cancer and we were doomed with him in charge.

I have yet to be proven wrong on that front, and until the cancer is cut out we won't be going anywhere.

Now they can move forward.

With a defensive coach who do you think they will bring in to coach the offense and will it sway whom they draft with their first pick?

Clowney is a beast, but this is a QB league.

By waiting so long to hire a coach the coordinator pool has been drained of most of the highly talented guys.

They are drafting a QB. What Pettine wants is of little consequence. His job is to coach whatever Banner/Lombardi give him to work with.

When they take a few steps forward next year will you THEN give some credit to the organization?

IggyPride00;1571186 wrote:What is a few steps forward?

Bringing in experienced proven coordinators is vital for a rookie coach who has never been a head coach on any level other than high school.

This is all the more important when you consider the mine field Pettine is going to have to navigate that is this front office. That bullshit they pulled with Chud last year where they were churning the bottom 1/3 of the roster every few weeks makes team building next to impossible.

They fired Chud because they want to win now and scapegoat him for management's failure, and the solution is to bring in a guy with no HC experience? Color me unimpressed.

He's only Chud if being unproven coordinator guy is your qualification.

If the draft goes well with the Browns, it could be a few years until anyone knows how good of a coach he is.

It made me lol because if Haslam was that high on him he would have been offered the job instead of telling McDaniels he isn't the front runner.

EDIT:

If Pettine is hired and Schwartz comes aboard as DC, is he open to staying with the 3-4? the group as a whole? not sure if Jim has ran anything but 4-3.
