Marvin: "Hue, c'mon man, stay one more year and help me win this thing. Then I can retire from this shit, and the team will be yours."
Hue: "But....what if we don't win?"
Marvin: "Don't think that way, man. We'll get it done in a year or two....probably. (giggle mania sets in)
Hue: "They're giving me control and big bucks, and I can have it all - today!"
Marvin: "But - we'll have fun!"
Hue: 
So what do you suppose they discussed?

Every head coach knows that his coordinators will leave if they get a shot at a HC gig.

If he even gave a specific timetable. To me, it goes to prove further that Marvin is here until Marvin wants to leave.

It shows how successful this team is viewed around the league that they keep coming for our Coordinators.

Well, thanks for playing Fred.
Actually I was taking a shot at the 'succession plan' being reported around here on local talk shows, and how stupid that sounded to me. I forget that you're in Tennessee and wouldn't possibly know about such things.

Hue probably said, "no thanks. I thought I saw this ship spring a leak here somewhere. "
Then Marvin said, "hue, just give it a year or two, Dalton will quit too when he gets sick of my shit and you can draft your own franchise quarteback! *giggle giggle
Who ami kidding? I'm not going anywhere. I just need more time and theres plenty of fans willing to wait another 13 years. They don't mind as long as I make the playoffs every other year on average! "

They discussed nothing.
They played a game instead.

FWIW, I thought it was pretty funny. Some other fans just can't see the humor in pointing out the dysfunction (albeit slowly waning) that still exists in this organization.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

The dysfunction that makes every team in the league want to hire all the guys who work here?

Decent point, but let's go down the pseudo-victories this franchise has:
60s/70s- Greg Cook coulda been great
80s - really came close to winning 2 Super Bowls
90s - beat the Steelers a few times
Palmer Era - coulda won a Super Bowl
Dalton Era - made the playoffs and lost lots of coordinators

The dysfunction that prevents this team from winning a playoff game under coach Lewis. The dysfunction that makes coach Lewis a "lifer", in the eyes of the man that ran off the truly great coach that we had, when he took the helm of this team.

No, it seems they can't. And that's okay. More for those that do.

Hue is taking on a horrible team and organization. It's a fools errand trying to turn the Browns around.
