BuffaloBillsGospel Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 That would be quite a step up from the coaches they've previously had. Mccarthy worked wonders with a young Aaron Rodgers so Mayfield will be in very good hands I just hope they don't turn that defense into a 3-4 like McCarthy did in GB, that would be a waste of Myles garrets talent imo.

HappyDays Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Wow that's a really uninspiring hire IMO. Aaron Rodgers would have more than one Super Bowl ring if McCarthy was worth anything. I'm sure a ton of young innovative coaches would love to coach up Baker Mayfield.

whatdrought Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I honestly don't get this. I thought that Gregg and Kitchens had earned a chance and that short of a fresh face or shiny young guy that they should have kept the spot. A retread that was "Meh" with Aaron Rodgers doesn't make a ton of sense. Any chance that Greggy stays on as coordinator? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had two H.O.F QB back to back , so I think he got severely overrated because he was always in the playoffs but I think this job will prove he's super overrated . Surprised they didn't take more time to consider Greg , who did a fantastic job with Kitchens and could stunt Bakers growth , implementing a brand new system , when he was excelling in the current one Edited December 31, 2018 by JerseyBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Interesting. Has McCarthy proven anything without Rodgers as his QB? I’d go so far as to say he squandered a lot of Rodgers best years.

TC in St. Louis Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think Gregg has finally found his comfort zone. He has a quarterback who is as intense as he, and he really is a motivator. I'd keep Gregg Williams if I were the Browns. McCarthy is mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike was always an underachieving coach in Green Bay. He had maybe the second best quarterback in the NFL behind Brady and yet his defenses always sucked. I agree this will be a mediocre hire if it happens. Anyway I see Baker Mayfield's personality imploding long before McCarthy can do any damage.....

Buffalo86 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think McCarthy's teams seriously underachieved considering the amount of talent they had over the years (maybe not so much this year, but still). IMO, the Browns would be better off sticking with what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPar_v2 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 This is bad for Baker. MM is a unimpressive playcaller. Mayfield is a great improvisational QB and MM is going to handcuff him. Bad hire if true but I don’t expect much from Haslem. If this was Dorsey’s hire I’d be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol Dirty B Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 McCarthy is an awful coach. Congrats browns. I only wish that Miami was hiring him after firing Gase and keeping Tannehill. I kind of feel bad for their fans. McCarthy becomes coach of the Bills, we're rioting right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I don't see how a reporter from the Arizona Republic hearing about it makes it a done deal. It's been reported they contacted Mike McCarthy. Gregg Williams still set for an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You expect a guy who has been the interim coach for half a season and done a good job to accept a new guy coming in and him being demoted back to DC? I guess it could happen but since it is known that Greggg is an A-hole, I don't think it would work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTbills Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think this is a terrible idea for Cleveland.

LabattBlue Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I like how everyone claims McCarthy is awful. Two years ago when the Bills were looking for a coach, if McCarthy had been available, the clamoring for him would have been over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a great QB, an all time great, but if true, he caused a lot of the problems on offense too. I wouldn't love the hire of McCarthy if true, but he was a good coach for years. I don't fault him entirely for the defenses he fielded because he didn't draft the players. Notice that the GM was fired last year and they haven't been as good because of the roster. Dorsey is known as a great talent evaluator, so the talent should be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
