Cleveland Browns: Collecting Building Blocks - Page 13 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Serious question here: Do you guys really think there's a chance of Cowher going to Cleveland? I know he's got history there and all, and I know everyone has a price. I don't know. Just seems wrong somehow...

He was a CLE assistant...I think if it was a zero chance Cowher would publicly say "no chance"

not that I think it's likely, but I think it could happen, and Lerner seems willing to open the checkbook

He could get 10 easily if he came straight out and told Randy Lerner thats what he wanted.

Seriously??? GM + HC, or just head coach? Because Bill Cowher the coach is way better than Bill Cowher the GM, imo.

Honestly, probably either. Coaches don't count against the cap, Lerner is loaded, he's not a complete moron and realizes that he needs to do something to satisfy the fans who's frustration is getting out of hand.

You think you guys could pull off a miracle win next week? I'm already pulling for the miracle raiders win and a basic seahawks win against a tanking Arizona team. And for both our sakes maybe the Packers will one of their next two.

I'll say Cowher to Skins, Marty in some capacity to Browns.

I don't really care if it's Marty or Cowher. If its neither I'm gonna be pissed. If it's Romeo...no words are appropriate.

This might actually be a worse scenario, because there is no indication that the Browns management has any idea what they are doing.

Pretty Randy knows what he's doing, my soccer knowledge is pretty poor but I believe Aston Villa FC doesn't suck? As far as other management....clean house obv.

People who know what they are doing generally have at least one competent employee.

Apparently Romeo Crennel runs such a tight ship that random defensive linemen feel comfortable punching the future of the franchise in the face. Jesus Christ I'm ashamed to be loosely associated with this franchise.

According to pretty much everyone, both Romeo and Phil Savage are gone come tomorrow. Yay.

Bruce Drennen on STO tonight at 7pm..

please have romeo's last press conference..

"ummm, i feel like we played hard, we just had a couple things go wrong, we just didn't get the breaks.."

jesus.

did we really just go the last 6 games without scoring a td?

"uhh, that's not up to me. i think we play hard, and i think we'll be better next year, but uhhh, that's not up to me..."

****ing *******. he'll probably be a super-bowl winning d-coordinator somewhere next year..
