Wait whatever happened to McDaniels to the Browns?

McDaniels pulled out

 

[eznark]

Man, Browns going to have to keep their next coach for a decade before anyone trusts them again.

Yup, and it's going to be someone they didn't even want in the first place.

[DeaconKnowledge]

As a Lions fan I can say I fully expect him to get the ridiculous undisciplined penalties taken care of.

My hopes are low elsewhere, though. He seems like a great human being, I guess. Nice to have that coaching the team for once.

I foresee massive problems within the roster with this hire. I just have a feeling guys like Stafford/Suh are going to hate it because he's going to try and take control.

Uh, isn't that what you want? Suh and Stafford have been controlling the team for years and all the Lions have had to show for it were underwhelming .500 or worse seasons.

If Caldwell comes in and does nothing but installs a proper heirarchy and discipline the Lions are a 10-6 team.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Guy refuses coaching. Good luck Razor.

His fat ass better learn how to win/improve his mechanics.

It's annoying hearing how good a QB is when he only produces empty stats.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Thought about buying Tales of Xillia today but I think I'll impulse buy The Banner Saga instead.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I hope no one goes to the Browns

I think if he brings discipline they might do alright, there is talent on this team but stafford needs to shut up, listen and learn otherwise this team isn't going anywhere.

 

[JABEE]

Mike Lombardi will come down from the press box to coach his team like Scotty Bowman.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Both!

You are a terrible influence!

Okay.

...the job nobody wants.

Now THIS is funny.

.

He was interviewed purely to fulfill the Rooney rule. The Browns had utterly no interest in him as HC. They want an offensive minded coach.

Seahawks taking their rule bending/breaking into ticket sales. True pioneers.

Just from buying tickets directly. There'll still be some that get them through Stubhub.

 

[yankeehater]

I know you're trying to troll Kas, but Caldwell was 30 minutes from winning a Super Bowl with Manning, which took Dungy years.

26-22 with the Colts. Year 3 was the no Manning year though. He inherited a great team but I dont think he ever did anything to make them better.

Oh man, Titans are fucked. Of the couple reasons why Whiz might have chosen TN over DET there is only one that I am convinced of and that is that the Titans offered him more control than Detroit (and the 1M more sweetened the deal). The Cardinals grave mistake with Whiz was that we gave him the keys to the kingdom when he arrived and he had final say on pretty much everything. He was our true GM and that is how he ruined the team once Warner was no longer around to save us. With Stafford in Detroit, he might have had a chance but with TN he has absolutely none. It's not that Whiz is a terrible coach, it's that he cannot groom a QB or assess talent to save his life. The Titans do not have a QB that Whiz can work with and Whiz is completely incapable of picking one in the draft and grooming him into a quality starter. If he gets to play GM like he did here, Titans drafts are fucked, at least as far as the offensive side of the ball is concerned. I can't fathom why the Titans wanted him so bad when you have the shining example of Whiz being adequate with Big Ben, Warner, and Rivers and being shit with how many QB's did we churn through? All of which he picked himself or chose to sign and not a single one panned out. This is not the guy that will coach Locker up or has the skills to pick a gem that fits his system in the draft.

The one thing he could have going for him is that he's always wanted a power back system and with Warmack and CJ, he has one should CJ actually stay which is doubtful. Bad hire.

Restore the Roar 2014.

From the pictures I've seen of them, the Jags cheerleaders are doing just fiiiiiiine.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I'll coach the Browns, and I'll do it pro bono.

The catch? I'm not stepping foot in the city of Cleveland. Wheel around one of these on the sidelines

 

[BlackGhost]

Screw you guys.

 

[h1nch]

Adam Gase would do well to skip the Browns and wait for a better HC opportunity elsewhere.

AKA I hope he stays with Denver at least thru next year

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Pizza threads are the best:

Pizza Hut is nasty but it's better than NYC pizza, so congrats New York, that is big news for you.

He did win with Manning, though, didn't he?

Nope.

Lions radio guy is playing weather channel music in the background while reading BIll's Jim Caldwell hiring announcement.

Grossi seems to think Gase is a sure thing in CLE

Leave my OC alone Cleveland! When will you learn that nobody wants to play for your team or live in your city! Why do you think LeBron left?

 

[Syrinx]

I have informed the Cleveland Browns that I am no longer interested in their HC opening.

GAF doesnt know shit about food especially pizza. They put pineapples and other monstrosities on it.

 

[PhoenixDark]

PD, several team sources have said that the database used by Xander's wasn't even used by Detroit during the draft and that he had basically no effect. Who knows what really happened.

Still, he completely overhauled our scouting department.

 

[Futurevoid]

He was interviewed purely to fulfill the Rooney rule. The Browns had utterly no interest in him as HC. They want an offensive minded coach.

I hear Rod Chudzinski is available.

 

[Patryn]

cajun?

We all told you how awesome Popeyes was. I think the only person who disagreed was Gata who apparently doesn't like Popeyes or Chick Fil A and honestly for him it is par for the course.

Lions fans are we really sure that Whisenhunt is a better coach than Caldwell? I personally think the Wiz could be a good head coach with the right GM but Caldwell only seems to have succeeded wherever he went. It was kind of shitty for the Colts to fire him right after the Peyton injury and tank. Lets not forget his greatest accomplishment, getting Birdo a SB ring and also netting him 120 million and making him the premier pizza salesperson in the country.

Not sure how good Caldwell is but anyone is a improvement over Schwartz. You could make the magic 8 ball the head coach and the Lions would win 2 more games next year.

Caldwell season records as HC of Wake Forest:
2-9
3-8
1-10
3-8
5-6
3-8
7-5
2-9

As a Lions fans, all I can say is this: We're totally fucked.

From everything I read, it sounds like he was a good voice and ear for Peyton Manning. Hopefully some of that ability can come back to help Stafford.

I have informed the Cleveland Browns that I am no longer interested in their HC opening.

You too? I informed them long ago. Not gonna deal with that front office...

 

[yankeehater]

The Browns should interview him.

To be fair, it's Wake Forest.

 

[Patryn]

To be fair, it's Wake Forest.

A wise man could argue that the statistic seems to bear out that Caldwell wins when he's with proven winners, and lose when he's not. It could then be pointed out that the Lions are pretty much the epitome of "not winners."

The sarcastic man would simply say this: To be fair, the Lions are basically the NFL equivalent of Wake Forest.

 

[Himynameischris]

Going consistently sub. 500 in the ACC is fucking abysmal.

I don't know if they were willing to hand him total control like that. I can't imagine Ruston Webster would be willing to hand over the keys. Webster is pretty much calling the shots these days. I've heard all sorts of stories about why he came to Nashville. From more money to how Stafford sitting in on his interview turned him off or how Detroit wasn't willing to switch to a 3-4 to his wife didn't like Detroit. I'm not crazy about the hire since I remember how things collapsed in Arizona after Warner retired and I was more interested in Greg Roman. But at least he seems like an upgrade over Munchak.

Still not as bad as what Capcom did to breath of fire though ...

Austin is a DB coach and A VERY good on at that ull have a great D.

And seeing brown Coaches can interview tomorrow. NORV .... PLZ

Rod and the rest of the Chudzinski family have asked the Browns to take them off of their list.

Browns have granted permission to DC Ray Horton to interview for any available coaching positions; Doesn't have to be HC, can be lateral.

What are you doing Browns? Chances Whiz hires him in TEN?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

He's actually worn them before.

But he doesn't wear them during the game (that would lead to him sending a big ol' fat check to Uncle Rog for breaking uniform rules), just warm-ups

 

[yankeehater]

Wow, that is shocking. Horton is a great DC wonder why they want to get rid of him? It sounded like he wanted to come back as well, you would think that would count for something right now.
