Shurmur expected to be fired

Most shocking news all season.

A team of perpetual losers goes through a complete management change and ends up a team of perpetual losers.

Hopefully for the Browns, rebuilding from the very top with a new owner will change this.

Please hire back Mangina coz...well....he sucks.

Did this site really get Pat Shurmur and Pat Summit confused? REALLY? Come on SI!

Well, at least they paid attention to you and fixed it.

Gotta love those Pats.

I would up date my Resume if I were him, Andy Reid is Choping at the bit!!!!

What cracks me up is that Holmgren, Heckert, Shurmur and Childress all have the same agent. Looks like Lamonte is going to be very busy finding these guys jobs for next year!

The only guy that I see coaching next year would be Childress. I am sure Shurmur will latch on somewhere but not as a head coach. Then again, now that I think about it, Shurmur really didn't have any success as a O coordinator either.

If you are greeted by a chubby guy named "Mike" on your next trip to Wal-Mart, you'll know he's come up with an answer to that problem.

A real inside scoop News Herald. Can someone say "local Emmy"?

Cleveland's first problem is its owner. You simply cannot be owned by a Steeler's fan. How do you ever accept that you are owned by the Steelers? That is just a huge indignity which should never be accepted.

The article talks about how Holgrem set the table with the team's personnel before he left. I graded his 2012 as an F. He successfully took a 4 - 12 team from 2011, had 13 draft picks which can significantly change a roster, had free agency to help, and made the team the worst team in the league.

The Browns as an organziation are in a very sorry state, starting with the owner, the presendent, and the GM. I think the coach actually has very good potential, similar to Belechik before he went to New England.

Well, the Browns strategies haven't worked thus far.

Waitwaitwait....Cleveland has a FOOTBALL team?! When did this happen??

I don't know. I mean the Steelers have owned the Browns for a long time, so what's the difference?

Belichick, though, didn't do very well in Cleveland. Remember, the team he had there moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens, along with its management and ownership.

The only thing that remains to blame is the team name and the city. Nothing else is left.

First, he's not a Steelers fan. Yes he still owns a small portion of the team but its not like he was a life long fan and then bought into their organization. He wanted to become an NFL owner and when he approached the league a few years back they put him in touch with the Steelers. When a team came available the NFL approached Jimmy and that got the ball rolling.

If you have watched any of the Browns games this year you would see that the talent on the field is not the main reason they are 1-6. Shurmur has not put his team in a position to win with his bad play calling and expectations he puts on rookies. If you need an example look no further than the Ravens game where Weeden threw the ball 52 times! They drafted a RB with their first pick in the draft yet they seem to not want to run the ball saying they are a "Pass first" team (quoted Joe Thomas). The game they won this year was due to a more balanced attach where they ran the ball 31x and threw it 29x. Also, if you watched the Colts game you would see that they ran the ball 17x but practically abandoned it in the second half, yet they still ran play action???

What the Browns desperately need is a coach who can motivate these players and get them to pay more attention to detail. There should be no jumping offsides on 4th and 1 like they did against the Colts. I would like to see a coach like Chip Kelly, either one of the Grudens or Brian Billick. All have head coaching experience and all have proven themselves and hold their players accountable.

If you think Shurmur has potential you will quickly be proven wrong when NOBODY hires him as a HC. He was a inexperienced O coordinator at best, with limited body of work to justify his readiness to coach a team!
