Loved this.
Less Jay and Lloyd on the show and more Shaun king and Pettine
You have the short heavyset guy and the squirrely looking host kid who aren't even Browns fans commenting on what's best for the team.
How often do you get to interview a former Browns head coach? And you guys blew it. Constant interruptions….talking over one another….grandstanding.
Hey CB West!!!
This interview is great ! Mike speaks alot about all the things that go into making a Head Coach…it's not all about Xs and Os -if it was..everyoe would want to be a Head Coach . Thanks UCSS !
Honest to God how absolutely terrible is this show? I have never seen so many disrespectful D-Bags in a row. It’s astounding.
As I’ve said, Flores would be lucky to be a water boy in the NFL. Nobody wants a guy who cannot accept responsibility for his shortcomings and then makes unfounded allegations against his employer. Pettine acknowledges the league’s thoughts on Flores without mentioning a word. Yet Bull would prefer him as the Browns next HC.
That was a great interview
Can we hire him as an analyst or front office executive?
A true football guy who has seen almost any scenario imaginable… ALSO the way he built out his staff he could be used in the coaching search
Coach is a class act. Happy retirement
Great interview with a great coach
Good as always guys
That's how a pro talks!!!
Awesome interview! What a guest
The only success coach Pettine had was when he had Kyle Shanahan as OC.
Glad he’s in Ohio maybe we’ll run into him good words coach. I want more Johnny football dirt lol
Great show guys. Lots of insight.
Pettine had a shot to be a good one here until Ray Farmer and Jimmy happened…..
Mike Petrine is a stand up dude and a good coach…
Can you imagine if we’d stayed w Pettine and hired Dorsey? The whole “ tough conversations “ is missing in every aspect of life now and what’s sad, if done correctly, it helps people SO much in preparing he/ she for how brutal life can be. Love Pettine!
Dude got a raw deal here what a shame
Why are the Browns not talking to Mike Martz for the HC position? He has expressed an interest in the position and likes Sanders as our QB!
Cleveland no shit are clown show. Laughing stock of the NFL.
You should have asked him since he's in town, would he like to do any coaching with Udinski.
Of all the Head Coaches since 99, Pettine is the only one I believe had what it takes to be successful. Smart. Good communicator. Quality leader. Tremendous integrity. He had a good thing in Cleveland. A young and up and coming OC in Kyle Shanahan, Jeff Halfley, Aaron Glenn and Chris Tabor. Then the owner and GM decided to drop a grenade in his lap. Glad he’s got no hard feelings toward the organization.
He was a good coach man. Cleveland sucks
Out of all the head coaches the Browns have had, Mike Pettine was one of them.
Little Les Levine humor there…RIP Les
Pettine got a raw deal. Was a good coach!
Everyone on this show thats on the coach besides GBush dnt want it to be Shedeur for the browns QB lol they thought Joe and DG was it so bad
Haslam didn’t know what he had in him or that staff smh
Next time you ask a question STFU and let the man answer it! I wanted to hear the answer and then you interrupted him and then you changed the subject. WTF! Come on man, do better!
I just wanted to know more about the Shanahan presentation….
How appropriate this might end up being the exact same situation as when he was hired. Us getting our 5th choice.
