I laugh as much as anyone else at the Coaching merry-go-round and Front Office buffoonery, but who are we building 'goodwill' with ?
If Chud is an interim coach, then he's an interim coach. It wasn't a problem to replace Fickell after 1 year. If somebody in the Browns organization wants to grow a spine and start making executive decisions, and they've got a guy in mind... and can bring him in... then bully. Pull the trigger and do it.
If they're just floating rumors and can't execute, then they should stfu and stop shooting themselves in the foot with petty internal politics and ass hattery.
The issue is that they've made half-assed decisions at every turn. A lot of that I blame on Lerner not giving a crap and spending all his money on some middling EPL club that was never going to compete for anything more than some third-rate cup trophy. I'm not sure the current management is any better, but I sure hope somebody somewhere decides they want to start winning in the future. Until then it's all a joke.
