Modell. Who also fired Paul ****ing Brown. Arguably two of the top five HCs in NFL history fired by the same jackass.




So do the Ravens, where Ozzie Newsome learned how to team build under Belichick.


Finally, if you have a guy you work with who does a good job for you, and then someone else hires him for a higher ranking position, and it turns out he sucks, is that YOUR fault?

Get your head screwed on straight. The Browns sucking has nothing to do with Parcells and everything to do with (1) ownership, and (2) the ACTUAL GUYS that ownership has hired.
Again, I am not criticizing bellichick or Parcells. I am blaming "the way" and the cult of owners who continue to think it still means anything. Note that all the regimes I listed are post bellichick.

The patriot way works in new England. It probably would have worked in Cleveland with time. Because bellichick was there. Hell, bellichick doesn't even follow the patriot way (he changed his defense, hires coaches outside the tree, etc...) "the way" cults masturbate over the same outdated defense, the same boring offense, the same ridiculous Parcells rules approach to qb evaluation, and churn the same coaching candidates over and over and over again. And it's not just Cleveland. It happened in Miami and Kansas city, and now in Houston.

The owners are terrible in Cleveland. That's obvious. But they have failed because of their continued insistence to push a Parcells and bellichick cult philosophy 16 of the 22 years they've been there. So no, bill Parcells wasn't individually responsible. But his disciples copycatting Parcells and bellichicks in at least 3 of the last 5 post bellichick regimes no doubt account for the vast majority of Clevelands miserable recent track record
