Browns "reboot" coaching search

[AZ_]

I don't really like Mike Polk's stuff usually but that video was one of his better pieces. Can you name one thing in there that isn't true? I guess he is over-the-top about it not being an attractive job, but the stuff about Weeden, coaches getting paid even though they only work a fraction of their contract, and being the consistent cellar dweller in our division are all true. And the Gruden thing was pretty hilarious.

Seems right about at your level. Can't say I'm surprised.

I love how you complain about mods but nobody posts more personal attacks than you. You must be living a pretty sad life to always try and release your frustrations on a message board.

Except the players love him. Just a heard an interview from a CIN guy(I believe their radio guy who is a former player) who said 95% of the players he coaches swear by the guy. He cited Terrance Newman as an example, saying the guy got the most out of him these last 2 years and basically turned his career completely around. Credited Zimmer with saving his career. Also, if you ever watched Vontaze Burfict play, the guy was an utter failure last year. He was awful. He'd take 75% of the plays off, which is why such a great prospect goes undrafted. Burfict is now a complete maniac who will end up being the Bengals starting MLB for years to come. He swears by Zimmer's influence on his life.

The story you are referencing was by one guy who sounds a bit miffed, imo. I'll take the words of all these players who have played for him and seem to overachieve consistantly.

So he's the Ray Lewis of coaches?

I don't know but there could probably be worse things.

Yeah, Mike Polk isn't funny, or creative. He has no different material than the dickwads on cleveland talk radio. Just the same old recycled trash.

1. 30 year old quarterback
2. self loathing fanbase
3. beautiful Berea, OH
and on and on

If you're going to make a video like this, at least either come up with some new material or nail the accent. that "southern" accent was horrific.

Mike Polk is an idiot, but if we can't laugh at ourselves sometimes, we have no business being on this earth.

No problem laughing at ourselves.

Key is, it still has to be funny...

 

[Jack Brickman]

Lot of angry Cleveland fans in here.

Tourism videos were fantastic. The Haslam video was stale, nothing really clever about it.

No... as far as I know Zimmer wasn't involved in the killing of two people.

I admittedly find myself laughing at some stupid stuff, but I didn't even find myself close to laughing at anything in that video. It was just horrible.

Anyway, back to the head coaching search at hand. Thank God we're not planning on interviewing Brian Kelly. Really warming to the idea of a Zimmer/Jackson combo right now.

 

[The Oi]

Is the abrasiveness the reason Zimmer never got hired? On paper, he looks fantastic.

At this point, I'd kill for Zimmer, man.

You guys are angry. It is a pretty terrible video, but at least it's topical!

So is Preparation H. And it's equally worthy of being wiped off with toilet paper.
