that’s the problem, imo.

But Jimmy said they're all going to work together! They'll become BFFs! Have sleepovers and do each other's hair as they gossip over their division rivals uniforms. It'll be spectacular!
He's right about the best organizations being aligned at the top of the org chart. Everyone is correct to be skeptical he will make the decisions that fosters such an environment though.
That SF reporter relaying what Shanny told him about the Haslam's made me go hmm, maybe he isn't the crack pot I've come to believe he is. Admittedly part of that is because I want that to be the case and will grasp at anything to justify it. It's just what fans do.
Shanny isn't going to poison the well for his DCs shot at getting a HC gig. He did bring the hammer down on Snyder but Dan fired him and his Dad.
If it were such a toxic situation I would think a straight shooter like Shanny would steer his assistants away from here.
good. there’s a time crunch with getting everything done. i wouldn’t be shocked if the Browns staff isn’t in place by the end of the week.
Heck ya last night got this ball rolling quick. Browns need to be swift and get their guy, whoever it is. No more waiting til Jan 10th at the earliest.
I don't like him. I just think he's riding Brady/Belichick like Gase rode Manning.
Absolutely knew someone was going to offer up MM quickly. This is exactly why you have to be swift (I'm not saying to be reckless and offer up the first guy that impresses you, they likely all will in some regards) and not interview people for 3 weeks simply trying to get it right. The background stuff should have been done already, the interview is alot of confirmation. The best candidates always get picked off first. Just look at all the times we've "settled" the last 20 years.
yep. the process is messed up.
I'm not convinced McCarthy was the best candidate anyway. I'd have been open minded to it because he's at least saying the right things, but until I started actually seeing it those seeds of doubt about this all being strategic marketing would have been there. On the other hand, I have little doubt of this being a bad thing for Dallas. Cause worst case he's little different than the guy they just canned and they've at least been average every year they've not started Matt Cassell, Kellen Moore, and Brandon Weeden in 12 of their 16 games. If he's evolved then obviously there's room for more. And given their cap situation if they're going to be any better than average then he needs to.
If Stefanski or Saleh are the targets then needing to get it done is an unreasonable expectation.
I'm with you for the most part. I'm just saying the two most experienced coaches on the market are now gone and we're interviewing Brian Daboll today. Some people want the "take your time, interview many, and get it right approach".
I think they already have their priority list. The major wrinkles are Saleh and Bienemy and they've already been interviewed. Other than them...they know McDaniels. And Stefanski. They just can't formalize anything because all but one of them are still playing. If it happens this week then it's McD. If it doesn't then it's one of the other 3 since I don't think Roman nor Daboll are serious contenders and they've known at least where they were leaning since Saturday.
Haslams have no financial incentive to win. They have bruises by the stacks of money thrown at them.
The Haslam's aren't doing the forecasting. Depo and his team are. The Haslam's are making decisions based on that forecasting and the actual interviews. We all should obviously have doubts about whatever they decide, but I don't see any reason to doubt the process developed that created those forecasts.ghostguy123 said:

True, but they have no incentive not to win, either.DCleveland Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam listen to a question during a season ticket member fan forum before practice at the NFL football team's training facility in Berea in 2017.1 Briggs: As clown parade continues, time for Haslams to sell the Browns

You're right in calling it a "box to be checked" per se, but all of the sub-boxes it entails would seem to require head coaching experience. Of all the things attributed to the Fall of Freddie, the one that stands out to me as undeniable is the laissez faire attitude toward preparation during the preseason. This, to me, is an item an experienced coach would be attuned to and a newbie would be playing by ear.MAC_32 said:
I agree with this. I think the Browns are trying to win, they just haven't been very good at it.
You're not wrong. I just think looking at what the last guy didn't get right is a bad process because it has no correlation to what the next guy will do, regardless of whether they have experience or not.
I don't think he leaves NY without a contract in hand. He also wants to talk to Carolina. By Friday he'll be gainfully employed someplace not named Cleveland IMO.
McDaniels has said he will attend every interview before making a decision on his next step. He has all the power as he doesn't have to leave NE. So there's no rush on his side
I think him putting us last is an indicator he wants to choose here, but if one of the others offers a better situation then he won't let his wants get in the way. If I'm wrong I'll eat my words, but I can't see him going to New York and dealing with that dinosaur Gettleman. So I think it's us, Carolina, or no one.
it makes some sense. if he is leaning towards Cleveland, he can use the other interviews/offers as leverage.
If it helps some Twitter media sources swear he doesn't want personnel control. But I don't recall which ones off the top of my head (not ones like Florio or LaCanfora though) and phone searching on that app drives me nuts.
