Browns fire Mike Pettine

[Everlong]

It was kind of a no-win situation for Cleveland here. Pettine clearly wasn't doing great (not that it's completely his fault, but there were certainly signs of incompetence), but now they're firing ANOTHER coach after a really short tenure and starting from scratch AGAIN.

Why would anybody want to work for Cleveland at this point?

[The Legend]

There are only two reasons anyone would want to work for Cleveland right now:

1.) You are unqualified for the job and Cleveland's the only place that will hire you.

OR

2.) Jimmy Haslam goes all Ted DiBiase and proves everyone's got a price for the Billion Dollar Man and just shatters all records of coaching salary and length of tenure/job security for the guy that can get the job done.

Every hire he's made so far has fallen under #1. Dear lord I hope these hires fall under #2, but I doubt it.

@The Legend in a perfect world who do you want to see be the Browns' next coach?

In a perfect world they would be deciding between Nick Saban, Jim Harbaugh, Urban Meyer, Jon Gruden and Sean Payton.

In an imperfect world I'd settle for Hue Jackson or Adam Gase.

In reality, I don't even care specifically about the name. I'm not knowledgeable enough about coaching candidates to know for sure who I want. What I really want, is the guy that 6 or 7 teams with coaching vacancies would love to hire. I'd love to see Haslam win a bidding war with four teams trying to hire this guy. Get the guy everyone in the NFL and covering the NFL says is a brilliant move.

Unfortunately, in the world we live in the Cleveland Browns are about to hire a coordinator that no one else in the NFL would even interview for a head coach position just like they did with Pettine, Chud and Shurmur.
