DePodesta just said he's been here every week. That is a stark difference from what we've been told by media & rumblings from the building. He must hole-up in the building when he's there.

Am I crazy for saying I don't see anything wrong with either of those things? As long as the owner isn't drawing up plays or something out of left field like that.

There is absolutely even remotely wrong with either of those things, despite what Cleveland media/McDaniels' buddies will have you believe.

Did DePo elaborate and put analytics into layman's terms for the ignorant in the room?

1. Being passed over for the job. You know it is being asked. It's probably being asking in some condescending way by Grossi, and I just want to see his answer.

2. Who will call plays. I think Kitchens' made a huge miscalculation here.......and truly wanted to be an OC and not accept the responsibilities of being a HC. My hope is Stefanski is going to help but mainly empower on offense......with guys that know and believe in his philosophy. I really hope Stefanski's focus is on culture changing, rallying everyone across the org and sticking to the broader leadership / accountability aspects this team needs. Surely he will input on offense and we should want him to but I think Freddie couldn't see the forest for the trees, because he was entirely too involved in one aspect of the team.

A head coach calling offensive or defensive plays is really not a big deal to me. Like half the league does it including almost all of the top NFL offenses.

The bigger issue for Kitchens was the fact he was just completely incompetent.

He didn't know how to prepare a team on a week-to-week basis as a head coach. He was extremely insecure about his inexperience. He clashed with his very talented veteran offensive coordinator from virtually day 1. He didn't listen to his analytics staff at all. And most egregious of all, he simply ignored the weekly game plans in favor of calling whatever plays he felt like regardless of how much or how little they had been practiced.

I would prefer Stefanski not call plays too, but really have no issue if he does.
