Chiefs Browns want J. McD and Mallet from Pats? - Page 4

The article below implies that both McDaniels and Mallet could be bound for Cleveland. I wonder what BB would get in return for Mallet?

Browns pushing to set up interview with Josh McDaniels

Posted by Darin Gantt on December 30, 2013, 3:52 PM EST

As soon as the Browns had an opening, people began linking Josh McDaniels with the job, based on his relationship with Browns General Manager Mike Lombardi.

Now there’s some fire to go with that smoke, as Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports the Browns are “pushing” to interview the Patriots offensive coordinator for their vacant head coaching job.

Nothing has been set up at this point, just as there are no rumors yet about a Ryan Mallett package deal (though that’s probably inevitable, as the Tim Tebow reports will be).

The Browns have also asked permission to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase and Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, after firing a young coordinator one year into the job (Rob Chudzinski).

Cassel competes for the starters job in Cleveland next year.

Still a possibility though I suppose. Curious if BB would let Mallet go.

I can help with this. Michael Lombardi, the minute he walked threw the gates to hell, aka Berea was on the phone with the Pats trying to get Mallett. They wouldn't trade him for less than a second, and the browns didn't have one.

Now, they have Hoyer who McDaniels also knows and likes. So I doubt very much they bring in Mallett.

They are interviewing Quinn tomorrow.

Also are going to interview Todd Bowles from the Cards.

But, expect McDaniels to be the head coach next week.

The browns sold out every game.

Lets not make this about CLEVELAND.

lets make this about Tagliabue, and who he sold the team to.

Yes, Al Lerner, who was former best friends with Art Modell.

And before he passed, instead of selling it to someone who loved football, he gave it to his son, who only cared about Futbol.

Then, the league allowed him to sell the team, to a DAMN STEELERS PART OWNER.

This isn't on Cleveland. The City of Cleveland more than deserves a team.

Much more so no offense than SD.

You will never see an empty stadium in Cleveland.

Even last year, in shit weather, in a shitty game between Cleveland and SD. We were SOLD OUT.

Complete no-names like Adam Gase are turning down their interview requests. McDumbass might be the only one desperate enough to take the job.

I cant argue with this.

None of it.

But, lets keep it on the ownership. The City, is a true football town.

I've always had a soft spot for the Browns. Recently they punked the Colts on that Richardson trade.

They still got hosed by wasting a top draft pick for him, but they also ****ed the Colts pretty good.

I can't vouch for the reliability, but here's someone claiming to have news:

****, too bad we no longer have Cassel to help recover draft picks from the bad Smif trade.

OrtonsPiercedTaint · 12-30-2013, 11:43 PM

I don't understand what Tounces can do. This team has alread been driven over a cliff. Steelers, Ravens, Bengals...

McDaniels would have TWO first round picks to play with, I can't imagine what he takes with those lol

Sadly, that's one of your biggest problems. Where's the incentive for the Browns to try to win if fans will gladly spend money on tickets and pack the stadium for a losing product?

The Chargers' blackouts really picked up near the end of the Norv/AJ era when fans finally got fed up with the mediocrity and the franchise's hostile attitude towards the fanbase. Spanos finally got the message and fired those clowns because the alternative was losing even more money. Unless you're lucky enough to have an owner that loves the sport and cares about winning, the fans can only send a message by voting with their wallets and not showing up.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to be honest. McDaniels has to be the leader in the clubhouse... just because it's the Patriots thing to do.

Remember there were rumors everywhere that Pioli wanted to do the same thing. Who knows how accurate they were, but it makes complete sense. They probably don't even want to look at outsiders unless they have to.

mcaj22 · 12-31-2013, 12:46 AM

this is good for us because Ray Horton isnt part of the Pats Fraud tree and he becomes available.

I'm starting to reeeally question Suttons ideas as well, but don't fool yourself... at the worst he has next year to fine tune everything.

If he shits the bed with a stacked deck and an offense designed to give him a break? Then gimme a pitchfork full of straw and pitch, lets fire up the Cessnas.
