y*so*blu Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I thought they should have fired him last year. Actually I remember a guy saying if he wasn't fired after 2016, the NFL should throw Mike Brown in an insane asylum, seize the team, and peddle it to the highest bidder.

I love Hue but he's doing a terrible job in a terrible situation: He should not have named Kizer as the starting QB week 1. Kizer was young and immature, which everyone knew. Hue still named him the starter week 1. When Kizer flamed out as everyone expected, he benches him. Then he benches his replacement (Hogan) and goes back to Kizer. Then he benches Kizer again for Kesseler. Then he names Kizer the starter again. Pretty much has done as bad a job as possible managing the QBs in Cleveland, which is shocking with his background. Hue just doesn't seem built to be a good HC... Agreed, but he is also stuck working for a front office staffed by people who actually believe you can use a baseball saber metrics approach to successfully run a football team. they don't seem to understand that while baseball players can be interchangeable, players truly have to work together and WAR doesn't really work. It also sounds like management wants the team to start Kizer, but Hue feels the need to win for his professional life. So Kizer starts, sux, then gets benched.

Beck Bristow Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I am not using Hue's experience in Cleveland as any kind of a measuring stick. They have been actively undermining him the whole time he has been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had any confidence they were giving him time, he'd be coaching differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I wanted to see him play the season out. But at least point I’m done. Time to see if any of the other coaches can show potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we give the head coaching position to Guenther without firing Marvin Lewis right now, I'll be pissed. I don't want anyone associated with this coaching staff to take over...

I wouldn't mind keeping paulie G with a new head coach though. Every time PG talked about being more aggressive, Marvin would neuter him.....publicly. That's not an ideal situation for the DC. My dream is Jon Gruden comes, brings brother Jay back, Hue stays in Cleveland one more year and trades for McCarron, then eventually comes back as WRs coach. AJ would prosper under Hue's aggressive approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ochocinco4pres Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 CLEAN HOUSE! This coaching staff has lost this team. It was a solid run, but move on. Keep some pieces, but get rid of the coaching staff, get a new QB and move on. This team is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 2 people I want for sure gone. Marvin Lewis and Paul Alexander. Everything else I'd be fine with whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brown clearly doesn't care about winning if he continues to keep them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems with this team are obvious to everyone outside looking in. You would think if one was “fighting for his job” changes would be made. Play guys that haven’t had a chance to show what they can do. Move guys around to different spots on the oline and see if anyone plays better at a different spot. Now is the time for experimentation because this season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
