As explained by Steve Doerschuk of the Canton Repository, new Browns coach Kevin Stefanski showed during his interview a willingness to yield to certain expectations of part-time chief strategy office Paul DePodesta, including having someone from the analytics group wearing a headset and having access to the coaching staff on game days. Stefanski also agreed to owner Jimmy Haslam’s desire to engage in hours-long meetings with his head coach the day after games.
Dustin Fox of 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland added that the front office expects the head coach to “turn in game plans to the owner and analytics department by Friday, and to attend an end-of-week analytics meeting to discuss their plan. |
I think that’s what was stated by one of the Sirius commentators
Thanks, Mara.
Will they be looking to change some of the game plan with the Friday deadline?
Head coach in name only but I'm sure it's a nice paycheck. At least for a little while.

Huh? The logic of jumping ship doesn't make sense. Why would anyone jump from a sinking ship to one that is already resting on the bottom? Let's not crown the Browns again like they have won anything. And before Baker gets another commercial, can he manage to elevate his team to a .500 club? With all their "talent", they were worse this year then last and it wasn't all Freddie's fault.

but for a guy like Stefanski this may have been his only opportunity for a HC spot. With only 32 jobs sometimes you have to take whats offered plus the Minnesota ship is sinking so not a bad time to jump anyway.

That is entirely different than making the claim that someone is jumping from a sinking ship to one that has already sunk. I'm not faulting someone taking a promotion even with the micro-managing. But all too often, people want to crown the Browns as some up and coming uber-talented team when in reality they are the same losing team representing the same losing organization.
Thanks, Mara.
This sounds like the exact sort of thing my temporary (and hopefully, soon to be even more temporary) manager would do. I imagine the coach is going to have to invest untold hours, effort, energy, and emotion explaining himself and his work to people who aren't qualified to understand it.
Since officially taking over the Browns seven games into the 2012 season, Haslam has a 21-75-1 record as team owner.
either he's the guy who find success in Cleveland or he'll probably be forced to return to baseball (IMO).
If nothing else, sounds like Cleveland will lean heavily on analytics, more than any other team so their results will be interesting.
I also wonder if analytics played a role in them selecting Mayfield and if not, if they're looking at QB now that Dorsey is gone and sounds like analytics are more running the show.
Thanks, Mara.
But they re actually better over the past 30 years, in fact during that time frame they have been better than most of the league,
Thanks Mara family.
the Brown's analytic meetings will like be less stressful than TPS reports
The worst may be the 1-hour meeting with the Owner. For the HC's sake, I hope that quickly adjourn after about 20 minutes.
Not if they still make Peter come in on a Saturday.
Fuckin’ A
Yep... then 18 months later they fire you and you spend the rest of your days living off of that investments you made
