I'd trade Hughes for their 2nd round pick.

Sucks for him.

Re: Official - Pettine, Browns Head Coach

The good news is that we can just re-hire him next year after the Browns fire him.

Re: Official - Pettine, Browns Head Coach

Whaley said a plan was in place to replace Pettine.

It is time to see that plan in action.

Re: Official - Pettine, Browns Head Coach

I'm really not one of those guys that's going to wish him luck. In fact, I'm the type fella that hopes he does poorly.

I liked him tremendously yesterday...today, not so much.

I say this all because I thought he was to be the bedrock foundation of this defense for a while...best part of this team maybe. Gone now. Now our dicks are swinging in the wind again. Cleveland has a talented defense though...watch them become really, really good next year.

Re: Official - Pettine, Browns Head Coach

oooh. If he might hire Van Pelt as OC. That means we can't hire him as qb coach.

Pretty much this. He was the main improvement on our D.

Re: Official - Pettine, Browns Head Coach

Now we have to find out the hard way if he was a great defensive coach or Wannstead was just that bad or maybe both

Re: Official - Pettine, Browns Head Coach

You know, I could see if he wanted to be a HC real bad but Cleveland? Come on, he was making a mark here in Buffalo and then left after a year to take a job no one wanted for a dysfunctional place like Cleveland. Normally taking a HC job is a promotion but in this case it isn't. If I were him I would have waited for a better franchise.

Re: Official - Pettine, Browns Head Coach

Pettine gets an A+ in career management, comes out of Ryans shadow with a talented defense shows he can make things happen and turns a 6-10 season into a coaching job. This was executed perfectly by him. I'm sure Marrone sold him on this when getting him to come to Buffalo just didn't think it would be so soon.

When you look at a guy like Mike Zimmer, you wonder when that shot comes again.

The Browns have GOOD players on defense & some good players on Offense.

They NEED a QB. Maybe we can trade them Thad Lewis for a 2nd.
