If we drafted Carr over Johnny he could have a decent run
I still feel like he got a raw deal after getting stuck with the Manziel fiasco because of our idiot owner.
However, the fact that he never got another head coaching chance probably means I don’t know what I’m talking about.
Good for him. He probably invested his head coaching money wisely 10 years ago and then took a long look at that brokerage account, his age and did the math that he can’t possibly spend all that money especially if he keeps working 100 hours a week 49 weeks a year.
I always thought he could have been a good coach, but he had the extreme misfortune to be stuck with Johnny Shitface Manziel.
He was probably worried the Browns would offer him the head coaching position.
Good person, bad coach. He got a super raw deal in Cleveland but he never should have been hired as the guy in the first place. Wrong guy for the wrong time.
Headline announcing the retirement of a former browns head coach really only eliminated about 50% of the US population because about the only thing I am reasonably sure about is that none of our head coaches have been female….
Was talking to a work buddy about the candidates and I realized I’m pretty numb about the options. I sure as hell haven’t been right about the other 12 guys I’ve seen hired in my life, there’s no way I’ll be right about this one either.
