Quote:1.  I didn't say the entire offseason.  I said you championed him for the ENTIRE POSTSEASON of 2012 through the early part of 2013.  Not sure where the inaccuracy is there.

 

2.  I didn't say you had no other coaching candidates you liked or that Bradley was your first choice.  My only assertion is that Gus Bradley was a coaching candidate you liked and for whom you advocated.  Again, I'm unsure where the inaccuracy was.

 

3.  Your objection to the "one interview" of Bradley is as silly now as it was then, considering IT WAS AN ELEVEN (11) HOUR INTERVIEW.  Not an "11th hour interview" meaning it was at the very last minute.  The interview Bradley had with Caldwell was eleven hours in duration.

 

4.  Norv Turner was named as Browns OC, IIRC, either the day before or the morning of the Bradley introductory press conference.

 

5.  All of the above is largely immaterial.  At one point you championed Bradley, then immediately turned on him.  At one point you trashed Fisch and now you like him.

 

That doesn't strike you as the least bit reactionary?

 

Would it have hurt you to take a wait and see approach?

He's never going to allow for that.  Every opinion must be formulated immediately, then defended to the death.  Otherwise you're either too wishy washy to state your opinion, or you're a flip flopper in his world. 

 

Anyone who preached patience, whether it was Bradley, Fisch, or any other coach was regularly derided for taking that position.
