1. Those are only opinions

2. Jim Schwartz HC. Mike McDonald Sheduer Whisperer.

3. The problem is that the change that is necessary wasn’t made. Point blank, the necessary change is to neuter the Haslam handicap. Unless a HC with real clout that has options and can dictate terms of the contract such as Harbaugh were to come, and have an iron clad clause in the contract to neuter Jimmy Haslam as far as any decisions impacting the roster, the draft, the coaching staff, contracts, trades, GM and scouts, then the elephant in the room is still there. An owner that wants more than anything to be like Jerry jones but is grossly unqualified to do so sabotaging the entire franchise every couple of years with devastating bone headed decisions.

   Regarding McDaniel, he would not be a terrible choice if Haslam stayed out of it and we kept Schwartz and his entire staff, kept Berry and his entire staff, and let McDaniel hire his own offensive staff. He runs essentially the same offense that Stefanski runs. He is a lesser version of Stefanski.

   The problem that sunk Stefanski is when the Haslam handicaps fired his entire staff of offensive assistant coaches following the 2023 season and replaced them with a bunch of random misfits that had nothing in common from a football perspective so they could not work together to create anything cohesive on offense. None knew a single thing about the Stefanski scheme.

4. Stefanski in Baltimore would haunt the browns for 20 years. Jackson would fit incredibly well into that offense. With designed bootlegs rollout pass plays that also have a read option element sprinkled into the rollout.
