Arians would consider Browns HC Job

That's a playoff team next year with BA at the helm. Lots of talent.

The way they've improved without Jackson, they're looking like a playoff team now. What if they go on a run and win most of their remaining games? Why would they need to change coaches?

 

[POISON]

Retirement is the #1 killer of old folks they say. I think he has a man crush on Mayfield who is the gutsy gunslinger with attitude. He was probably forced out because he could have coached someone similar to Mayfield in Rosen.

Mayfield is a winner and confident, Rosen not so much.

Mayfield also has a 10x better offensive line than we do and multiple offensive targets to throw too. Mayfield would look completely pedestrian on our team.

Let's see them actually beat someone first. Atlanta is a shell of the Super Bowl team and Cincy is in a free fall. If they win @ Houston next week then we can talk potential playoffs.

Well, they've got a last place schedule so any wins they get are probably going to be of the lesser variety. But, they're 2-1 and scoring 25+ point/game since they fired Jackson. At that level, they're at least good enough for the 2nd wild card. And I'm not really arguing for them to get in right now but if the dynamic they have is good enough for winning football...no small feat in Cleveland, do they really want to mess with that? Arians doesn't exactly guarantee victories for a long terrible franchise. On paper he's an improvement but personalities and cohesion are at play right now. Especially so if they finish the season with twice as many wins as losses.

At Houston, Carolina, at Denver, Cincinnati, at Baltimore. If they finish 3-2 and go 5-3 under Williams that would be very difficult to break up IMO.

Was this hard for you to post? You were the biggest Mayfield hater before the draft.

For those of you interested, I was told Bruce Arians has "probably very little" interest in the now-vacant Packers job.

A lot can change in a week.

Mayfield threw 3 INTs in the first half which torpedoed any chance the Browns had at beating the Texans.

I'm told there is legit @Buccaneers interest in Bruce Arians for a head coaching interview and he may not be the only veteran coach in the mix. Keep an eye on Jack Del Rio and Jim Caldwell as potential candidates as well

Previously, former #AZCardinals coach Bruce Arians had said he’d only consider the #Browns job. But with the #Bucs job open, BA just texted me: "I know Jason (Licht). So, I would listen.” That would be interesting.

good grief Bruce...…

 

[az jam]

Sounds desperate to get back into coaching. I don't think he will be a serious candidate. But who knows?

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Would the Cards welcome him back? lol

 

[jlove]

Just shows you that BA left the Cards under duress. I think MB and Keim are the reason BA left (IMO he resigned so he wouldn't be fired)

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Would the Cards welcome him back? lol

Nope.

 

[football karma]

maybe Im just lost here ( **very possible**):


if last year was a retirement -- why wouldn't the Cards consider bringing BA back?

literally the winningest coach in Cardinal history and...………..


that fact he isn't does speak to a falling out of some sort between BA and Keim and/or Mike B

He's a long shot to return to coaching, but if he does I'd want a second round draft choice as compensation.

B.A. was pretty stubborn (loyal) with his special teams coach. I'd love to hire Freddie Kitchens as O.C., but not B.A.

 

[Chopper0080]

Cardinals aren't letting him go from free.

BA is the last coach on the planet that would fake retire to avoid getting fired.

You aren't lost.

He literally said on air in week 3 he would still be coaching the Cardinals if not for injuries. Since then he has said nothing but "I would coach again in the right situation"

 

[DeAnna]

They are going to discuss this on the radio. I agree there is something strange/weird going on that BA would refuse to come back here. Was he forced out? Did he burn his bridges?

Well, Tampa Bay has a history of paying draft picks for coaches,at least.

Holy crap they are literally on 98.7 right now discussing how Arians was likely pushed out the door and never really retired

I have been on this for months!

Just like I was with Sarver and the Suns
