Please, please, please take Jay Cutler with him...
I admit to a certain perverse pleasure in picking out, before the end of the season, those coaches i call “The Doomed Ones.”
I’m hoping Tom Coughlin of the Giants will be one of them. The team has had a great run with him, but after 12 years it’s time for him to move on.
Yep, just keep firing coaches every year, Cleveland, that’s the way to build stability.....not.
Bet you still had one of those coaches you fired, now if only I could remember his name, I think it was Beli-something.
so the Browns will be starting all over...again...
maybe haslam should stay out of the war room and stop making demands the team select certain weak-armed QB’s with little pro-potential..
No fair picking Cleveland though, its kind of a gimmie.
I hate the use of the word “fire” with regard to letting coaches go. Quarterbacks don’t get fired they get benched. I would prefer the use of “make a change” at head coach.

Same for Garrett, but that ain’t gonna happen now is it?
Nah, Jerry knows a good Puppet when he sees one.
I have read in some places he is “Doomed.”
A new regime usually means a new quarterback.
I have an idea. Get another overrated QB who loves to party and lie to his coaches.
It’s interesting to me that even though they won 2 SBs the Giants never really had a good year with Coughlin. Both SB runs started by sneaking into the playoffs at 9-7, with predictions of Coughlin’s termination early in the year. A really/ lucky playoff coach but a really bad regular season coach.
And stop talking to homeless people.
“sacked”
“got pink-slipped”
“given his walking papers”
“sent packing”
“given the old heave-ho”
“tossed out on his ear”
“86d”
“booted out the door”
“pointed to the exit”
“offered the opportunity to resign”
“parted ways”
“went on unpaid status and asked not to come to the premises”
“invited to join another team”
It was the Ravens that fired Belichick, when they were just about to leave Cleveland. But your point about stability at Cleveland is well taken. They seem to make all the wrong moves, and then they realize it and make some more of them. I sometimes wonder if some cities just have trouble winning because of something intrinsic to the city, rather than the owners, coaches or players. San Diego seems to be the kind of town that can’t motivate a team to greatness. Cleveland seems destined for heartbreak, but move the team to Baltimore, and they win twice. Probably a whacky theory, but I think city plays a bigger part than people realize.
Sign at a Browns game:
CLEVELAND
REBUILDING SINCE 1964
you forgot the first part of that- trade back into the late part of round one (quinn/weeden/manziel)..
Too much sunshine and it’s right on the beach for a team in San Diego to win.
