Fire Shurmur ASAP. And the Special Teams coach. We have more than capable interim coaches. Shurmur himself has lost games for us. It’s hard to blame losing efforts in a team game on anyone except for...

But if Shurmur doesn’t fit in with the plan that Haslam and Banner have, how does it help to keep him around any longer? Start the rebuilding process as soon as you can. Unless you’re planning on...

I’d really hope that the future candidates can see the difference between new management bringing in their own guy, and Lerner just thinking that firing the coach every 2-3 years will fix everything....

i disagree he doesn’t adapt to player skills. best example: Gordon goes deep to use his jets. Little goes short to use his physicality. Now, every now and then they’ll swap just to keep the defense...

As I mentioned on another thread, Holmgren’s biggest mistake was hiring a head coach with no experience and a less than stellar history as an assistant to lead the youngest team in the NFL. This team...

Nothing can help this team in the immediate future. Their very poor existing condition dictates that the kind of restructuring/rebuilding they must go through will take at least three seasons, not...

Keeping a coach around to improve the future coaching candidate pool during a lost season is fine, provided it ends the day after the final game. The chances of Pat Shurmur one day leading us to a...

So they play TR,they don’t use him enough anyway.I would suggest a two back set ala Mack and Byner and work the offense off that.Kosar did well,passing game flourished. Shurmur?Seems sorta lost to me.

If the assistant coaches are as good as you say, then the young players will keep developing even with an interim coach. If they are as good as 1-6 suggests, then keeping the staff in place has few, if...

Dude, Shumur is GONE like a freight train at the end of the season! Not For Long (NFL) Coaches are graded ONLY on WIS VS LOSSES!!!

What the hell planet are you on-anyone who has no confidence in his team one 4 and 1 as against the Colts is no winner!

Oh Craig…always straddling the fence on issues. It seems like the only thing you can commit to is not committing to an answer on this issue. It’s so obvious he is a failure…and some of us saw this a...

So true and before going into politics one of the best apologists for the outgoing Browns management. Shurmur needs to go.
