95% chance Marvin returns as Head Coach - just has to get back on "same page" as Mike

Yeah, thought it was going to be an exciting Offseason. This bringing back Marv talk really throws all of that away.

Yep - To many people on the Board, Marvin is like that unemployed Uncle that moved in on the couch for "a day or two" and now no one in the house can get him to leave.

The family talks about it right in front of him and he still won't leave.

Then family members are at each other's throats if his name is even mentioned.

He empties the Fridge, won't pick up after himself, breaks appliances around the house and needs rides everywhere in town. Plus spending cash.

People thought a New Head Coach was coming (uncle leaving house) but all signs point to more couch time.

Same page, same 2nd half meltdowns.

I think where the control comes in is roster and assistant coach decisions.
I think we can all agree that there have been some head scratcher decisions when it came to player and coaching personnel.
With that said, it's Marvin's responsibility at that point to work with what he's been given.

My apologies, we do agree.

That is how bad of a HC Marvin Lewis is, and he has just gotten worse.

I would take Simmons, Paulie G, Lazor or even Urban over Marvin.

For him to stick his nose in the Offensive playcalling is beyond stupid.

Just stick to what you know. Is this too much to ask? The results are written in stone.

I agree with everything! I have to ask though, what does he know? I still contend Paulie G has been thrown under the bus. This defense the last 2 years has Marvin's "wussified" mark on it.

If Marvin stays their will remain 4 tiers for this division. Tier 1 Steelers Tier 2 Ravens Tier 3 Bengals Tier 4 Browns. I felt replacing Marvin would have put us in tier 2 category at minimum.

[Interceptor]

If Marv stays, Browns will pass us in two years. They may even be playoff-caliber while we sink to the bottom.

That doesn't sound like it's going to go the way we want it to......

Assistants told to come back tomorrow because the Brown office closes at 5. All other teams work far longer to get these situations resolved.

Urgency just isn't in the Browns blood.

This pathetic organization has no Pride. Mediocrity continues to be the goal. If no changes are made, games need to be played in an empty stadium. PERIOD!

Office closes at 5:00 pm

Mike home by 6:00 pm

Dinner at 6:30 pm

Metamucil at 7:00 pm

In jammies at 7:30 pm

Tucked in at 8:00 pm

Numerous potty trips through the night 

[Big Boss]

Sucks to be the assistants.

You can't make this shit up. They are trying to work out a deal to bring back a coach who has failed in 15 years and 7 chances to win a single playoff game and is only 68-89 versus AFC teams not from Cleveland (counting the PO's) in his career.

This is becoming ridiculous. I am pretty sure every other organization that has moved on from their coach, already has at least 2 interviews set up. And we need to move on the most out of ALL of these organizations.

We have every right to be mad. Idc what anyone says.

[jj22]

Assistants just hanging around because no one else in the league wants them. Sad!

[WhoDeyandtheBlowFish]

As if I needed further proof that I'm a diehard fan of an utter ***** joke of a franchise.

Urgency costs money, the longer they wait the cheaper the options will be. It’s the same principle they apply to free agency.

Yeah seems like Marv knows less than ever.

He used to know Defense a bit, but you are right it is even a bit unfair to judge Paulie G with what is going on.

I thought at the very least Paulie G would be the next coach, he deserves it more than Marv getting another chance.

We know what will happen with Marv, maybe we make the Playoffs, but it will always be one and done with him.

What the hell is the point if we don't even try something different. This isn't working.
