McDaniel + Schwartz > Harbaugh
Head coach is 10x more important than the QB selection
Jason knows what a good fit is? whatever
Dolphins, former head coach is the best situation he will do good with big 12
How can anyone possibly compare Stefanski and McDaniels offensive play styles and say they are similar? McDaniels didn't have Tua turn his back to the defense at all this season. McDaniels offense put up 70 points in a game 2 years ago. Stefanski struggles to put up 20 points a game.
I agree with G Bush. It’s weird to me that coaches want a player tailored to them rather than vice versa. I’m a teacher. I’m going to figure out how that kid learns and then teach them in the way that works for them. That’s why I have success teaching 4th, 6th, 7th grade kids who are illiterate. I believe some of these interviews are just for optics. SOME PEOPLE say no one will want to coach for the Browns. Andrew Berry is proving that’s just not true. Some of these people interviewing have no chance of getting the job.
Way too many interviews thus far Haslem should of fired Berry and conduct his own coaching search and organized interviews
Jason so mad that Shedeur is the QB he doesn't like anybody 😂😂
So wait a young qb should start out running rpo? Very insightful literally every young QB 101 in the league.
Jason compared Mike McDonald’s offense to Kevin sorry azz Stafanski offense Jason can’t get Kev off his mind 😂… Mike was under the Kyle Shanahan tree how tf he come up with that comparison Jason a joke 🤣
McDaniels is a good offensive mind but not as a head coach.
Jason obviously has no black friends.
OMG…. This has to be the most negative show on the Cleve airwaves. I refuse to listen from this day forward.
Bro wake up everyday saying dumb ish no way an expert told you to put Shadeur in rpo when he is literally no threat to run 🤦🏿♂️ just mute Jason out at this point
If he has to play Sanders he’ll be like “damn and I thought Tua was bad”
Mike was fired because they're chasing the white whale and want to pair the new gm with his own coach. That's it. Not based on what he did
Jay is like those dudes on reddit that just wants a staff full of former head coaches lol. Buddy McDaniel will be a hc here or he won't be here. Period. He can go be OC for Lions and after a year be the top coaching candidate and ppl on this panel will sit here a year later and wish browns had hired him instead of Dan pitcher.
Dan Pitcher wasn't "fired" like these other reject coaching options…ijs.
G Bush the only 1 that talk wit sense the way the other guys r talking it seems like will hire someone who works at a grocery store or something omg the browns cant have nobody
Did Jay just admit that going for 4 was the right idea 🤷🏾♂️
Crawford is always so negative 😂
HC Eric Bieniemy has the pedigree that will help cultivate a winning culture, 10 seasons with the Chiefs, 5 years as OC, instrumental in the development of Patrick and Kareem Hunt who led the league in rushing his rookie season oversaw an offense that was consistently elite during his tenure, winning two SB. KC haven’t been at the same level on offense since EBs departure, check the numbers. Fast forward to last season and this past season KC offense has struggled, they even missed the playoffs entirely. That’s yrs 23, 24, 25 the chiefs offense has been in decline, coincide that with EB leaving in 22. Yes they’ve won since his exit but the offensive side has been struggling for some time now. Meanwhile he’s excelling as Bears RBC honing his skills under “guru” Ben Johnson, their offense is top 10 but their rushing game is a significant factor in why the bears have one of their best teams in a decade. EB has a 7th rd RB looking like a pro bowler, along with Swift. Bears finished the 2024 season 25th in rushing yards per game, 102.0 yards. Bears 3rd in rushing yards, 144.5 yards per game, establishing a strong offensive identity with a focus on running the ball, who’s responsible for that improvement? A proven pedigree, it’s pretty evident that EB current role along with his experiences has sharpened his abilities to lead men, develop players and contribute to team success. A pedigree that demands respect, leadership that has proven to produce at a high level, a culture builder who is poised to change the trajectory of a franchise.
Jay and jayson are dumb and dumber …moose you close comparing McDaniels offensive to Stephanski is crazy af
Mike McDonald is not the type of players coach
To jason and Jay yall slow af …we have the best situation we have the best defense the best player in the league…a qb a 1st rd qb on a 5th rd contract …you literally only have to fix the oline and WR core
Jason and Jay and Moose just want someone to fire Berry thats alll they could care less if we are good after that
McDaniel will do great with Dillon Gabriel.
McDaniel has proven to do a lot with a little. Exactly what the browns need. Pair his abilities with Schwartz is the perfect pair. McDaniel immediately gives this team a lift. He coaching tua and quinn, Mike don't care that much. Also their run game, amazing!!! Wait what's his record, did he make the playoffs???
Make McDaniel the OC not the head coach
They definitely dont run the same offense 🤣🤣 WHAT DO YALL LOOK AT
imagine hiring a coach based on shedeur sanders lol.
Browns going to watch Schwartz leave … just give him the job already.
Lol good luck with that 🤣 hes a true beta
Just remember dolphins wanted Gabriel also. So he would have his qb he wanted last year
I wonder when Sheduer turns out to be a Good QB what Jason Take is going to be 😂 him and the people in the building takes are killing me “
McDaniel is not a head coach. Toweak.
