Its easy to say now you want someone else. Id take him over just about anyone as OC. I think he got the most of this offense considering the personel and injuries they had

That's also true for 80% of the coaches hired over the next couple of weeks.

Probably true, but most don't come with a warning sign to that effect hovering over them.

McDaniels may not end up being the right guy, but actually having your coach and GM on the same page would actually be smart and the anti browns thing to do.
Citing precedent.
During his last stop he got who was supposed to be an independent GM fired in a couple months, went into the off season totally unprepared and had a figurehead GM who was being fattened up as scapegoat before he himself got the axe.
His cronyism puts Marty Schottenheimer to shame. The most egregious example being hiring his little brother who was an assistant high school football coach to be the QB coach.

The Browns have also watched a number of internal coach and GM battles over the past decade or so lead to a number of early departures. A lot of this obviously falls on bad leadership from Lerner/Haslams, but some of it comes down to failing to hire people who are on the same page.

So much for the sweepstakes. Down to one now and if he doesn't get that job, it's back to a Pats team that might not have Brady. I'm sure he'll get a job somewhere eventually and that could even happen in a few days but teams may no longer be throwing themselves at him.

Thank you, Bill!
Honestly, I think if McDaniels doesn’t get the Cleveland job it increases the likelihood of Brady staying in NE. If Belichick is willing to actually give Brady some guarantees that he’ll have better weapons next year and McDaniels is still there then I think all this talk of leaving will be much ado about nothing.
In this case it would be compounding the error of hiring McDaniels in the first place.
It would be shame to deprive the Pats of the fate they deserve and have McDaniels take over. He is really the Ken Bianchi to Belichick’s Angelo Buono.
What’s the deal with DePodesta now? Was he sidelined under Dorsey and back in prominence as it appears?

I think some media people are making more of this than is really there. Even before Dorsey, DePodesta wasn’t the GM. He was always more like a big picture consultant. He was involved with the coach search that lead to them promoting Kitchens. He was at every game even when Dorsey was GM. He certainly now has a bigger say with Dorsey gone, but it’s hard to say how involved he will be once the new coach and GM get hired. He might well disappear to the background again after those jobs are filled.
Which would make sense given his cultification, but it sounds l8ke he’s semi-retired from your description.

He’s more of an advisor or big picture guy. He still lives in California and never made going into the office an every day thing for the Browns.

There weren’t many job openings this time around, and two of those openings wanted super veteran retreads.
