Captain Murica Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 His defense was solid here. Still got torched by the run, but he had possibly the worst QB situation with Hoyer, and Manziel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's kind of amazing that Pettine got canned and not Jackson with their respective performances. I'd wager that Hue's roster this year outside of QB was considerable better than Pettine's Browns teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I think Pettine got what his career deserved by accepting position as head coach of Browns. And yes I thought he did a good job as DC for Buffalo and if selected by the Pack I hope he does a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Wish nothing but the best for Mike Pettine, he is a good coach and would do well in GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but having a QB that has substance abuse issues doesn't help and probably why I would rank it worse than the current QB situation as they will pick one at number one this draft.

fridge Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 He'll be a HC again soon enough. His 7 win season with the Browns is practically an undefeated season by normal NFL standards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Oh and Washington Redsucks are also interviewing him for job. Evidently they added a Elmer rule requiring interviewing a bald coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Congrats Pettine. Still shocked that the Brownies hired him as HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a raw deal in Cleveland having to deal with Manziel. While I agree the Browns were a bad situation, Pettine knowingly and willingly took that on for a HC job. IOW yes it was a raw deal, but it was his freely chosen raw deal. I did not like his run D here - yesterday we sold out the pass to stop the run. Pettine consistently sold out the run to pressure the passer. Teams could run on us all day and they did. C'mon man, #4 against the pass and #28 against the run? #10 overall on yards but #20 overall on points? That's not great and the proof was when Schwartz took the whole thing to #4 the following year with most of the same personnel. I do NOT think he'd be a good choice for the Pack, who are my NFC team and I badly want to see upgrade on D Edited January 9, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimKellyTryouts Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I'm rather surprised he couldn't find any work for the past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Surprising that we haven't heard of him interviewing until now. Wonder if he chose to take a break from the game, or if there honestly just wasn't interest until now. I find it a little hard to believe that nobody had any interest in him, looking around at some of the DC's in the NFL the past 2 seasons... i always thought he was he was a good D.C. Rex's defense sure went downhill once he left. Also thought he did a good job as HC of the Browns. They probably should have just kept him. They may have been better off right now if they had. I have to think he'd have won more than 1 game in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 He took a year out by choice after Cleveland. Then he had interviews last year but didn't land something. I'd like to see him back in, he is a good football coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
