    If they knew their coach'sjob was on the line would they have played harder?
    Pros should be playing hard all the time. That they weren't does not reflect well on the coach.

    This reminds me a little of the "bulletin board material" thread on College football forum a few months back. Some were arguing that BB material doesn't make a player 'play harder', and I was arguing that sometimes extra incentive does motivate players to reach for a little extra especially at lower levels (college and below). I may be wrong...that may extend even to the pros based on what Ryan was able to tap into with the Jets.

    So was it extra incentive to save the coach's job or good coaching or both? ;)

    I agree with you, but I also believe it isnt just college and below, it is at any level.
    I do believe BB material, no matter the stakes in a game, can help a team. No matter how focused and determined you are, no matter how hard you work...you can always be more focused and work harder.
    I think even in the NFL going into the last game if there is any inkling your coach is gone you will play hard for him if he has the team.
    Granted, or should I say, granite, this was a division game vs the hated steelers. The browns should have been up for this game, and they werent. It is the coaches job to get them ready, no doubt about that. There is alot of blame to go around, but I can pretty much gaurantee you that if Chuds name was floating around for the last few weeks about how he could get fired I bet they would have come out with more fire. It is just human nature.

    Espn ws reporting that last night or this morning that he wasnt interested in going to the browns.

    Smart move on his part......he has a chance to get to the holy grail with the Broncos and manning this year. His stock will only rise if they can win it all this year and he can be more selective in the job he takes.

    A good spot to go to is a place that had a down year, or two, in between alot of success. Kind of like Tomlin and the steelers. He came into a great situation. Cowher won a SB, came back for a listless season, and bam. Houston would be a good spot, even atlanta if they had fired their coach after this horrid season.
    Gases' name is now out there with his association with the broncos, and it can only get better.

    with that said though...with how PM goes about things how integral is the OC? If course he helps and does alot, but PM is the engine that runs that machine with his film study and play calling

    Espn said he wasn't interested in any interviews before the broncos season is over. Nice try though. I frankly don't want a 35 year old child coaching the browns.

    Well what I heard on ESPN was that he had turned them down.....so maybe they meant he is turning everyone down.

    I dont know if he would be a good fit anyways.

    Yea, because Cowher and Tomlin were 34 when they were hired.

    and waht is wrong with that? At times I will be a dick just as some fun, but first and foremost I am a football fan and like to talk football.
    Not much steelers talk on here. Most my friends are bengals/browns fans and always talk to them about shit. Ya know what they say..keep your friends close and your enemies closer? I know more about the bengals/browns than alot of their own fans do I have found!

    Said a number of their fans. When I can talk to some so called browns fans and know more about their roster and such than they do then yeah....
    OF course all of you browns fans on here are experts on the team but I know enough about them to talk intelligently and what is going on.
