contract for Ron

[beastson]

one of the reasons we've never had back to back winning seasons is our drafting has been so inconsistent.

 

its as much on gettleman's shoulders at this point as anyone.

 

 

We never had back to back winning seasons because of injuries and inconsistent Jake Delhomme

I never understood the term lame duck coach. Unless you blow past any type of expectations I don't understand why people can't finish the contract and then make a decision

So when a free agent comes in and says why should I come here when I don't even know if you are going to be here a year from now or what system you are going to run, what do you say if you are the last year of your contract?  How do you convince your staff not to jump ship if they think you are not going to be renewed.

 

There are many reasons to extend him long term and none to withhold it.

Two year extension. Show us that Riverboat Ron is here to stay.

you know we had a team for like 8 years before delhomme put on a uniform

If you watch the Panthers you see Ron has developed a ton of talent. My god we prob had the worst talent in the secondary last year and he made those guys look decent. Not to mention our LBs and Dline. On the offense he was smart enought to hire Shula who has developed Cam into a Franchise QB. He even changed his ways to become a winner, something Fox refused to do.

Pay dat man.

I tend to agree, maybe a 3rd year option thrown in there as well. 

[rayzor]

i still want to see consecutive winning seasons before a real commitment is shown.

How much does the owner of the Browns owe coaches that don't work for him anymore?

I never understood the term lame duck coach.

Yeah, it's stupid and misused. If you tell a coach that is on his last year that he has no say in drafting and who makes the roster, that's a lame duck situation. If you tell a coach that is 0-8 that he can finish out the year, but his contract won't be renewed, that's a lame duck situation.

A coach on his last year that is in a good position to earn a new contract has a good deal of control of his own destiny. Hardly "lame duck."

[TheRed]

Whatever you want to call it, I don't think it's a good idea to let a head coach enter his final contract season without a commitment of some kind.

We should rest Cam for the first 2 games next year and see how he does before giving him a long term contract. This panther team have that fluky feel to it. I don't see 12-4. We're a low talent rag tag team. We only have a franchise QB on offense, otherwise nobody worth keeping. If we were to bring in a new coach for this team it is possible that other than QB there could be no returning starter on offense. That's insane! How many other team can you really say that about.

you can't even rationally say that about this team.

Did the Browns go 12-4 this year? No. In fact, the Browns last went 12-4 in 1986.

 

So why would you compare us to that perennial loser.  In the last 12 years we have had 2 coaches. They have had 2 coaches in the last 12 months and 7 in the last 12 seasons.  Not even close.
