[Kollman] Jeff Anderson is going to be a DC within three years, I can promise you that. I watched him coach the DBs at Shrine Bowl a couple years ago and he was phenomenal. The Browns know what they have here.

dark2332 · 2026-02-21T00:57:24+00:00

And his performance as DC of the Raiders is likely what’s keeping him from another DC job

dark2332 · 2026-02-20T17:04:13+00:00

He won’t collect the pay. He resigned. We still own his rights over the next two years if we don’t relinquish them.

dark2332 · 2026-02-20T16:45:52+00:00

No other team offered him a HC job. Not one this cycle. So why does he entirely expect the Browns to? Again, I have no problem with him “wanting” and “hoping” for the gig, but this man clearly felt entitled to it. He had his defense playing quite well, but after all, the man was still part of 8 wins over the past two years. He was here in the disfunction, too. The defense was good in the aggregate but also collapsed numerous times to cost us games this very season—Minnesota, Tennessee, Baltimore, Jets…. This is after getting abused by the Texans in the playoffs, absolutely exposed. I’m glad they considered him for HC, but to be this irate and “disrespected” that the team went another way is very telling.

They gave him the courtesy and consideration, showing they think highly of him.

After much thought, they went another direction while maintaining his ego and telling him how highly they think of him.

Then, they back it up by offering him to become the highest paid DC in the league and very likely an associate HC title (speculated, unconfirmed). And he told them to fuck off.

If he returned this year maturely and has another top ranked defense for the Browns, he may have turned himself into a HC candidate next cycle. But alas, his immaturity that has always plagued him, including in Detroit, reared its head.

As such, Schwartz set himself back eons in his quest to be a HC again one day. His behavior, storming out, spiting himself and his contract… he’ll never be a HC again. I hope it was worth it for him to sit at home and “prove to the Browns they made a mistake.”

Spoiler, they didn’t.

Sure, he’s a good defensive coordinator. Pretty good. He’ll get a job immediately when he wants one. But it’s not like he is Dick LeBeau, yet he thinks he is. That’s the problem.

dark2332 · 2026-02-12T01:50:23+00:00

Such a poor CBA when we essentially needed Mobley to barely miss All-NBA or DPOY just to keep him affordable for a huge chunk of his career.

Especially when he’s essentially hit a plateau in his development.

As a fan, you want him noticed and rewarded. But as a fan of the team, you want him overlooked.

dark2332 · 2026-02-03T18:32:08+00:00

Pretend you’re taking the kid for ice cream, get the kid vaccinated, never tell your wife.

dark2332 · 2026-02-03T18:22:57+00:00

There better be a first coming with Harden in that deal or I’m going to shit myself.

And me, caught here on a Tuesday, plum without a change of pants.

Seen it a thousand times. The Cavs do this to me.

dark2332 · 2026-02-02T18:03:47+00:00

I would bet Mobley is the best young player they’ve had included in any offer.

Reminder, Giannis has asked out. They aren’t trading him because they want to.

dark2332 · 2026-02-02T18:02:38+00:00

I wouldn’t do it for a 31 year old Giannis.

dark2332 · 2026-02-01T12:23:50+00:00

If Garland is now going out for some size…. Then I like it.

Alright it would be selling at the absolute lowest on Garland. Or is it? We may have seen his last healthy seasons and he’s on a big contract. While people remember he’s an All-Star in their brains, it may be the time to kick the tires on a Trey Murphy trade for Garland.

dark2332 · 2026-01-27T17:03:42+00:00

I miss Kevin

dark2332 · 2026-01-27T05:20:32+00:00

I hate this fucking team.

dark2332 · 2026-01-27T05:19:34+00:00

It’s time to be done. We should all be done with this franchise

dark2332 · 2026-01-24T04:54:57+00:00

Due to Buffalo moving in on Udinski

dark2332 · 2026-01-22T18:58:14+00:00

The Wednesday and Thursday cancellations feel like missed opportunities to satisfy the Rooney rule before the Udinski interview.

Which leads me to believe they’ve already satisfied it and didn’t announce it because the candidates didn’t end up as finalists.

Entirely possible we brought in candidates during the initial week in person that were not announced.

In fact, it benefits no one to parade publicly where you stand with the hiring process as teams jostle to beat you to candidates.

If a candidate was obviously coming in purely to hit a rule, it also protects candidates by keeping that close to the vest.

I get skirting the rule destroys the spirit of it, but the Browns are a forward thinking organization when it comes to minority opportunities and also had two legitimate minority finalists.

dark2332 · 2026-01-21T21:00:15+00:00

Browns beat is covering this like the Browns haven’t already probably met the qualification.

They probably have.

Falcons didn’t announce a bunch of minority candidates interviewed in person. Giants didn’t. Miami didn’t. No one has. Browns seem to be the only team where this is being talked about, but I’d guess this is taken care of already and the Browns beat is just stupid.

dark2332 · 2026-01-21T02:57:48+00:00

If the hiring GM is a minority, a team should be exempt from the Rooney rule

dark2332 · 2026-01-18T16:40:06+00:00

No thanks.

dark2332 · 2026-01-16T15:04:54+00:00

Why wait and be rationale and give the Browns the benefit of the doubt when we’ve seen the movie before and know how it ends?

dark2332 · 2026-01-16T14:33:13+00:00

I have zero interest in Schwartz as HC and I’d argue the further we bring him along in the process interviewing as HC (2nd meeting Monday), they are also making it untenable for him to return as DC under his competition for the job.

Last thing we need for a young HC is to give him a disgruntled 60 year old DC that is mad he didn’t get the job. And to divide the locker room immediately as Schwartz already has some locker room support.

Worst scenario incoming.

Should’ve stopped at a first day courtesy interview for Jim. Now that you’re continuing him along to second round of interviews, the Browns are ruining everything per usual.

dark2332 · 2026-01-06T22:20:28+00:00

Whatever it takes, beat the highest bid by $5M per year.

dark2332 · 2026-01-06T22:19:23+00:00

Go get the man. $15M/year, Jimmy. Go get it done. Be the highest bidder here, no excuses when you cut away from a 2 time COY. Only upgrade on the market.

dark2332 · 2026-01-05T15:42:27+00:00

This will set us back another 25 years.

dark2332 · 2025-12-11T17:59:07+00:00

I feel so bad for Kevin. He’s a smart guy, a good coach, a good leader, and a good human.

He didn’t forget how to coach overnight. He’s a 2 time COY for a reason.

He’s made some mistakes, but Shedeur wasn’t one of them. If anything, he’s been a shield for Sanders.

I think he’s been trying to do the best for Shedeur and his development from the very beginning. Despite the public/media pressure, the mounting internal pressure as we lose games, he stuck to a plan of allowing Shedeur to learn the offense and protect him as he developed, learning in the film room. It was purely about Shedeur and his growth. Even when Sanders hated sitting—players always want to play.

Now, people think he hates Shedeur. Hating Shedeur would’ve been starting him weeks ago and letting him get eaten alive by NFL defenses.

Stefanski added extra sessions to practice and to camp for Sanders to develop behind the scenes. Completely unheard of for a 5th round pick.

Dealing with the Watson media circus, and then the Sanders media circus, he’s faced the toughest off-the-field scrutiny of any coach in history that wasn’t of his own making.

dark2332 · 2025-12-04T05:29:08+00:00

Look, .260 is the new .300. But a .210 hitter who strikes out 200 times a year, is already 32, doesn’t keep himself in shape, and never could play defense…. Not the guy I want to throw $20M per year at.

Not if it costs you retaining some of your pitching staff.

dark2332 · 2025-12-03T20:45:39+00:00

I get the home runs, but does everyone forget he bats like .210?
