Yeah, a few years ago Pettine was a hot % coordinator that a bunch of people wanted.

SteelCityColt Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The Browns is fast becoming one of the biggest coaching challenges of all time, anyone who can sustain any sort of success there will be hailed a genius. "Even BB failed with the Browns" etc etc. Interesting that he wants to move on from Manziel. We could see Manziel in Dallas and RG3 in Houston next season....

RockThatBlue Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The browns might have actually made a good hire for once. Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derakynn Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm honestly surprised he took the job. If I were a coach, there would be no way you could convince me to take a job in Cleveland. Especially after the fact that he was already screwed by the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21isSuperman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I like the hire from the Browns' standpoint as I think Hue is a pretty good coach and is able to maximize offensive talent. I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 No QB, A clown that owns the team.....I give Hue 3 years tops and I'm leaning more towards 2. He don't stand a chance in that circus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns are going to let Hue help pick the GM. The Seahawks and Rams did the same recently. They both wound up with good GMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take best offense BPA if Browns (many holes to fill) and get my QB in round 3. There's likely to be one of the top 8 midland talent QB's still on the board. Then sit him and coach him up to be ready in 2017. Can't be any worse than throwing away first round picks on failed QB experiments and missing on top flight skill position players or Defense stars.

I just don't think this is going to work. First there are basically 3 GM's, two statistical money ball guys, and one who I assume who will be football oriented, but Sashe has the final say, and he is statistical, so the final say over the GM means little to me. The other thing which I think is more important is leave it to the Browns to find a coach who does not match what they are doing. Hue is an old school guy. Not a new age numbers guy. Football is not Baseball, and I just don't see the marriage working. They needed a younger guy who understands this is a bit of an experiment. I give the Browns credit for trying the experiment, but in football there are places for statistics, but that is in certain decisions during the game. It will be hard to apply that to player personnel. One more thing, only Haslam would go this route, when just two years ago he had that study commissioned for 100K to see what QB would be best to draft and it came back as Bridgewater. So he goes and picks Manziel. Why have statistics if you don't listen to them, and in this case the study was right. Maybe statistics will find a place, but I don't think Jackson is the best fit, and I don't see the Moneyball effect, especially when you have an owner who likes to meddle in all the decisions. 3 GM's, one head coach and a meddling owner. What a great winning formula. I feel bad for those fans, and all of us should look at Cleveland when we get on this board and crucify Irsay. He has been a great owner when you look at other organizations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been a great owner when you look at other organizations! Until I see otherwise, I don't think they're attempting to run their team from an analytics/moneyball standpoint to the exclusion of traditional scouting and roster management. I could be wrong, but just because they hired an analytics guy doesn't mean they're trying to be the Oakland As of the NFL. I think that's all overblown. I also disagree with the characterization of Hue Jackson as an old school guy. He's not stuck in the past and closed off to new ideas and ways of doing things. As a play caller, he's kind of progressive. Haslam is obviously a problem. We'll see if he's learned his lesson, but we all know that people rationalize bad decisions all the time. Just because his research pointed to Bridgewater doesn't mean he was going to go that route; he obviously wanted Manziel to begin with, which is dumb. If he continues ignoring the counsel of his employees, then the Browns will continue being the Browns, and nothing else will matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
