boyst Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 FYI, I would be a better coach then Pettine. Ironic that the Browns keep saying they don't want a lot of media coverage and distractions. Welcome to Rex's protege. The guy is going do a lot of things very well and other things very poorly. I don't see much middle ground here and I see that being the bullet that takes him down. He's not a give and take type dude. He's a take and have taken from dude. He won't give up something by choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland Rocks? Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 FYI, I would be a better coach then Pettine. Were you the one holding up the interview process? lol I like Pettine's personality but his inexperience as a HC scares me. I also think this interview he did is kind of reminiscent of the Rex Ryan-Eric Mangini thing and we all know how well that turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think this interview he did is kind of reminiscent of the Rex Ryan-Eric Mangini thing and we all know how well that turned out. The truth is that it is going to be the opposite which will matter. His natural coaching ability, tendency to surround himself with smart football people and his ability to communicate to the talent/field/players will give him success. His personality will not be presented well and not be in tone with Cleveland people. I see Pettine having success in the NFL in the future - especially if he fails out here. I could see him going 2 or 3 years in Cleveland and going back to an assistant job and ending up in New England at some point as HC. Oh, and as far as me holding up the process, not so much. I'd not want to move to Cleveland. It's a cesspool. Maybe outside of Cleveland, in some places sure. But Cleveland to Lowrain on up to Mentor it is pretty pitiful. I'd go South, but try to avoid Akron, Canton. Stow would be nice and far, quiet and peaceful. Edited June 19, 2014 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Pettine said Brady joked about having a playbook. He said that he was concerned that saban would leak the playbook to belichick. He said that the patriots cheat, so you have to be careful. What's wrong with those statements? They are all true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) For those here who don't look beyond the top-line stats, I recommend looking at the defensive stats to the right in the team total stats at the top -- plays, yards, and points *per drive*. Then compare the Pettine-led defense with Bills defenses from previous years (go to the top left and click on previous year and/or franchise encyclopedia). The Bills D performed extremely well last year. They were second in the freaking league in yards per drive. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2013.htm It's really unbecoming for allegedly knowledgeable Bills fans to jump on Pettine simply because he received a head coaching offer he couldn't turn down.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Sad to say but I think Pettine is going to be a great head coach, one of the top 3 in the NFL in the next 3 years. I just like everything about him. His system, His approach to the game, how he speaks about the game.

DC Tom Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 If you look beyond the "wah, Mike Pettine's coaching the Browns!" melodrama...he drops quite a few priceless nuggets of management advice in that article. Lots of his techniques for managing and teaching players apply across multiple domains, not just in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Forgive me fellow Bills fans... but I can't help but like the guy, and all his honesty. I hope he kicks some a$$ in the AFC North. I want to see those poor bastage Browns fans see some success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Jake Steinberg @Steiny31 10m Bizarre that Pettine feels the need to throw Rex under the bus. He might've still been a video operations assistant had it not been for Rex. I was thinking the same thing. Rex gave him his shot. What is his motivation to throw him under the bus, or a couple of shots at Belicheck, and of course our dimwitted Bills. I really don't care, just it shows a lack in judgment. Do you ever see Belicheck, Mike McCarthy, Fisher, and so on giving out that info. I could keep going. Andy Reid, Tony Dungy in the past, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Pettine is a glorified high school coach. He's been along for the ride since day one. He's in way over his head. Browns have been a dumpster fire for years and will continue to be a dumpster fire. Nobody likes a snitch either. Between him shooting his mouth off and Johnny FB and his antics, I hope the Browns go 0-16. They will both be out of football in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Wannstedt?? "But there’s some coaches that each year, teach, This what we run and that’s it. They don’t ask more of their guys. To me that’s coaching. If your guys can do more and you’re not doing more, that’s on you. Or if this is your norm and you have a pretty good team and they’re just not mentally there, then (expletive) pare it back a little bit.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I don't get where this Pettine hate is coming from suddenly. Two months ago, people wanted to fire Marrone in order to promote and keep Pettine. Pettine is going to be really good in Cleveland, IMO. That defense was already talented--he's going to make them elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
