Shanahan Fired

[TKO]

...but Rex keeps his job. What a strange world the NFL can be. If the Browns sign McDaniels the Pats should think about replacing him with Shanahan.

Is there McDaniels talk again?

Is there McDaniels talk again?

According to ESpin the Browns are going to take a look at him. Hell, if they were wise they would bring in Shanahan as their next HC.

 

[TKO]

Is there McDaniels talk again?

Yup...I hope they sign him and trade for Mallett.

 

[Drawmeomg]

There's McDaniels talk but McDaniels doesn't seem to be very interested.

 

[JDM]

Fuck no. Shanahan is a terrible coach and the only way I want him near New England is coaching against us.

Rex is a very good coach. He had similar talent to work with and was far more successful than shanahan. I wanted him fired because if he didn't get another HC job he's a great DC upgrade, and worst case he's out of the division so we're less likely to face him.

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

Meaning they would get Josh and Ryan and we would get a draft pick from them? I assume you want to take a QB in this draft?

I think Shanahan would be a good OC considering Belichick has had high praise for him and Brady will still be there. The Browns have inquired about the Broncos OC so it could be a moot point.

If Mallett leaves they'd have to do something. If they drafted a QB he'd be a backup until Brady decides to retire but it's anyone's guess when that would be. Mallett will be free in 2015 so they effectively have one year to trade him while he's under contract.

I was thinking BB would let them sign Josh and then work out a trade for Mallett.

You would be hard pressed to find an opponent belichick says is bad.

Shanahan is a poor coach and a mediocre offensive mind.

But we could take no less than a second with that package.

 

[JDM]

I turn down a second without considering it.

Not sure Cleveland would give up their first for that deal. Mallett has proven nothing and Josh has proven is not HC material

 

[JDM]

Then keep him. He has more value as a backup with the potential to keep us in contention in the scenario of Brady getting knocked out for a couple weeks than a second rounder does.

Deal is we would have zero leverage with him next year, and he will leave, so potentially we get nothing. This is a QB rich class the Browns could just draft a QB, again.

He's given Belichick plenty of trouble over the years.


5-3 when he was with the Broncos including a playoff win in 2005

Irrelevant. That year is worth more than a second round pick.

Not sure I follow. Building a team is about the future no team is built on a one year plan.

I can't see them tagging him or re-signing him with Brady still playing so it's trade him next year or nothing. Unless he's just not worth a big pay raise in the eyes of the other teams, then you might be able to sign him to a reasonable deal as your backup.

I think we all agree he does not want to sign a deal as potential back up. There are some pretty shitty QBs in the league right now, I would think he would get an offer the Pats could not or would not match. If we wait until next year or 2015 we get nothing, isn't that right?
