Can you tell me something good about this hire Pape?

yeah, he has experience in the coordinator role, which entails a lot more than just drawing up a game plan...

Like the title says they coordinate everything on offense... QBs. WR's TE, RB, etc... make sure all the coaches are on the same page etc... executive level stuff... along with game planning...

I dont know a hell of a lot about him as a coach, but he does have experience in the role, which we need... this is a young coaching staff...

I don't know how anyone is supposed to have more belief in Mayo, Wolfe, and Van Pelt than Bill.

Bob and Jonathan are cheap ingrates.

My god this is to salvage Mac isn’t it.
I need to see who’s Wr coach and QB coach and TE coach.
Maybe the other interviewers will get one of those spots.

Let me count the ways

Oh good grief!

When BB got released my first thought was "Meet your NEW Cleveland Browns". Apparently my sense of humor is clairvoyant.

Rodgers was already a stud . What did pelt do with him...

This is such a underwhelming hire much inferior to retaining Bob.

Please don't draft a qb high and put him under this OC.

Going by the looks of it, I think Mac is the qb for this year and other OCs were not willing to sign on till the Pats confirmed the qb .

We are drafting MHJ or trading down .

Looking at his history he's either been fired or let go from every single team except a short stint with the Bengals.

Damn I wish I could get a job with a **** resume like that.

Interviewed with the Bucs a few days ago.

Until a report comes out Kraft was offering much less than other teams then let’s put the pitchforks down.

I have to say I was shocked he was fired cause the Browns started what 4 QBs?
They all played really well.

Very disappointed that Mayo supposedly didn't reach out to anyone of the minds in the College ranks. Like Ruggerio or Gattis.

He’s an experienced quarterbacks coach. I’m guessing that’s a big part of why they signed him, to develop whoever our qb is next year.

Or fix Mac dear God

• UofBuffalo QB coach (volunteer) 2005
• Frankfurt Galaxy QB coach 2005
• Buffalo Bills Offensive QC 2006 - 2008
• Buffalo Bills QB coach 2008
• Buffalo Bills OC 2009 - 2010
• Tampa Bay QB coach 2010 - 2012
• Green Bay RB coach 2012 - 2014
• Green Bay QB coach 2014 - 2018
• Cincinnati QB coach 2018 - 2020
• Cleveland OC 2020 - 2024

He's experienced, must be liked been coaching for 18ish yrs with no breaks in employment, exposure to a bunch of systems.

But it does point to it wasn't a very desirable job, he was just fired by Cleveland after the season.

Or for you optimists, maybe Mayo just wanted an older guy who had been around the league and has an idea of how things are done.

He did so well with Flacco the Browns let him go, this has to be the cheapest staff in the NFL in 2024.

If Eliot Wolf is indeed the guy in power then this starts to make sense because there's the connection.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

An outside the organization hire. Van Pelt had 4 different starting QBs and still scored 23 PPG. I’m a fan of Stefanski’s offense. Good move IMO.
