Todd monken has the browns at 3-1. Glazers are so disconnected from reality

You may be confusing tackle football with professional wrastling.

Kkay Adams is lovely but I didagree with her. Kubiak is second. Monken for coach of the year. Shame on the Glazers for not paying Bowles’ buyout last January and pulling a Culverhouse.

Pump the brakes a little. We’re not even 1/4 of the way through the season yet. Still, their start is surprising.

I liked Monken when he was here and thought he might be a good choice a few years ago. Obviously we went a different route. And definitely agree with Rome, we have zero idea how this is going to look at the end of the year. If it sustains for another six plus games, yes, anoint him. Too early now.

No one is saying monken is or would have been the coach to hire. But it proves coaching matters. Monken has made improvements 4 weeks in.
Todd Bowles doesn’t coach. There hasn’t been any improvement in 4 years. We have no offense we have no defense and that’s his specialty. ST still sucks. Every week some part of the team is a disaster The Bucs have theeee worst HC in the league. He doesn’t do anything.
