papasmurfbell Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/13/conflicting-reports-about-rob-chudzinski-talking-to-browns-candidates/ Conflicting reports about Rob Chudzinski talking to Browns candidatesOn Sunday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that former Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski has been sharing his thoughts about his experiences dealing with owner Jimmy Haslam, CEO Joe Banner and General Manager Mike Lombardi in Cleveland with the team’s candidates to replace him.“Part of the problem here is — from what I’m told — candidates have been calling Rob Chudzinski, who went one-and-out with the Browns,” Rapaport said. “The reviews have not been favorable; he’s an honest guy. He’s been honest with them and when you talk to people involved in these interviews, it doesn’t sound like Banner, Lombardi and Haslam have all been on the same page.”That’s not the only place where people appear to be on different pages. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports, via a league source, that Chudzinski has not spoken to any of the candidates for the job.Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Packers quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo and Chargers coordinator Ken Whisenhunt have all reportedly interviewed for the job, with McDaniels taking himself out of the running last week. Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase and Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott may interview in the future.Whether Chudzinski has spoken to candidates or not, the quick hook he got after signing a four-year deal to coach a Browns team that had no quarterback and made moves that suggested they were building toward better days in the future can likely speak for itself if candidates are wary of the triumvirate making the decisions in Cleveland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Its not like Chud is saying anything we didn't already know. The org is cr@p, wouldn't even give a new coach 2 years to build a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10341938/mike-pettine-daughter-learned-valuable-lesson-cleveland-browns-tweet BEREA, Ohio -- Mike Pettine was expecting it, so he didn't balk when the last question asked at his first news conference as Cleveland Browns head coach was about his 19-year-old daughter's unfortunate post on Twitter following his first interview.As Pettine talked, it became clear how social media and the Internet can make life difficult.After tweeting excitedly on Jan. 16 that her father would be going back for a second interview with the Browns, Megan Pettine added: "Its the browns.. But hey, still pretty cool!"The tweet was later deleted, and the account deactivated.Still, it didn't help the Browns' already battered image.Pettine said when the tweet went viral and was picked up by websites that follows the NFL, Megan called her father in tears."She was mortified," Pettine said. "Called me hysterically crying one day after it happened."Pettine said a very long father-daughter chat followed."She learned a very valuable lesson in the power of social media," he said.Pettine added that Megan's formative years were spent in Baltimore "where she was trained to not be a Browns fan.""So I hope that we can give her a little leniency that way," he said.As he spoke, it was evident how difficult the experience was for father and daughter, and how close they are."She sent me a text this morning," Pettine said on the day of his hiring, "that I think would have made most fathers cry." She was only stating the truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
