TuscanyTile2 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I didn't realize he was the Browns HC. The first "Rex Coaching Tree" guy. I never really thought of him as our DC when he was here since I'm guessing Rex was doing the "heavy lifting". I think Buffalo had a good D last year though so it gives some credence to Pettine's abilities. What are other people's thoughts on this? Is Pettine going to succeed in Cleveland? Having 2 #1 picks certainly helps. Plus they've got a great WR and TE in Gordon and Cameron. Since this is supposedly a great QB draft, they really have a chance to put something in place there.

SouthernJet Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Pettine left cause in Rex's 1st two years we went to afc champ game w/rex calling plays. In next two years Rex let Pettine call plays and in BOTH cases Rex grabbed playcalling back from Pettine after defensive issues. Jets improved both times Rex grabbed playcalling back. Rex told Pettine he could still be DC but Rex would call plays and Pettine walked. pettine was hurt/pissed and part of that is why he was 'rumored' to be Manishs source.

Smashmouth Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm not sure anyone will be successful in Cleveland. The organization doesn't seem stable. Will certainly be interesting to see what Pettine does with a Talented group on Defense. They also have some explosive players on Offense and a good O-Line now if they can find a good QB or Draft one in the up coming draft they may very well surprise a lot of people as will Pettine who I think will make a damn good head coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Is it really a tree if there is only a single branch? Being realistic about it, Rex is more a branch on the Marvin Lewis coaching tree - as are many of the defensive guys that have parlayed coaching Ray Lewis and Ed Reed amongst others into career upgrades. Pettine is more of a leaf on Rex's branch... that has been pooped on by a Bluejay... that has been eating berries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not the type of thing you'll ever seen exposed fully - but the writing was on the wall. Did it hurt? Hard to say - but it helped him get shown the door from the Jets - only to find himself taking the same job with a lesser franchise in Buffalo. I wouldn't over-value him getting the HC gig in Cleveland, they could barely give that gig away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book it. My early bet for the SB however is all over INDIANAPOLIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77DRAFT Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 His success will depend on Shanny his qb and STC, probably draft a qb this year. Not sure about Shanny Jr. haven't seen enough of him but they will probably try to get a mobile qb and be like washington. He's got a shot with all those picks and some cap.

And while I am a Rex guy I think their would be more accountability by the staff and the players if Pettine were the coach. I think he will make a great HC Coach.
