I can give him twenty-some years of reasons.
The fact is, failure is caused by organizational actions, and you are in trouble if these actions become a habit. I love the Stefanski hire, I love that the Browns are leaning into organizational unity, and I love a lot of the talent on the team. But when McDaniels says he thought the organization needed to be nuked - regardless of the gumption it took to make that claim during an interview - he may not be entirely wrong. I guess we will see.
The problem with McDaniels is that we'd have had to bet not only that he was right about the team needing to be nuked, but that he was the best guy to rebuild it from scratch. That's a pretty tall order for someone whose only prior stint as an NFL head coach doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
