  • Lombardi doesn't think that Shurmur is getting fired after the season because the team has played hard for him all season.

  • Why not just keep Heckert? I like the way most of Heckert's picks have gone.

    I'm having a tough time understanding why Banner and Heckert can't just talk things over, whatever problems they may have.

  • I will be upset if Heckert leaves. I think he has drafted well. The only thing I don't like is that he hates free agency. But I'll be infinitely more upset if we get Lombardi. Anyone that ran the Raiders has to be garbage. He left in 07. Did he make the Jamarcus Russell pick? If so, do we really want that guy on our side? The guy that passed on Megatron, Peterson, Joe Thomas, Patrick Willis, Revis, and more for Jamarcus Russell. Fuck that guy.

  • Lombardi is a disaster. A complete bust when he was here. Severe downgrade over Heckert.

    I hope this is just rumor but it's been out there before.

  • Mike Lombardi is a back stabbing tool. If Haslam hires this prick Im completely done supporting this franchise..Call Me a fair weather fan if you want to,but I cannot accept garbage especially for a douche that uses a Magic box to grade and evaluate talent. This guy is a bum and not just a bum but a scheming prick on top..If they infact hire this asshole. Then football in Cleveland is dead. Pack up the moving trucks and take the fucker away...Ive watched enough bad football.

    He does have a Browns history as he was part of Belichecks staff in the 90's and we were building a very very good team with that staff back then that got derailed by Modell.

    I listen to interviews with him all the time and I think he has a pretty good grasp of what's going on in the league and has made it no secret that he wants to get back to working for an NFL team.

    My thinking is this.....if he is sooooooooooooo good, why hasn't Belicheck hired him in Bill's 15 years in NE?

  • Lombardi is crap, if Haslam and Banner think Lombardi is a credible GM then we are doomed.

    Very fair point...

  • I have it under good authority that this rumor is bullshit.

    Ruining threads since 1897.

  • I am really hoping this rumor is complete bullshit..

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

    Me too

    If they want to replce Heckert, then get someone BETTER. Not a guy that hasn't had a gm job in years

    Not only that, but was terrible at that job when he had it.

    Exactlly. I would wager, if LOmbardi was all that, Belichick would have snatched him up YEARS...............AGO...............

    That's a bit much, I guess the gunshots in EC have you on edge.

  • The GM's job is to load the team with talent...right? Look at all of the young talent Heckert has been able to bring in. If Haslam gets rid of him, I will be less optimistic about having a new owner. Lombardi's TV knowledge just doesn't translate into anything to look forward to except probably dismantling a great building process that we are all finally excited about.

    IMO Heckert stays and continues to build on what he started. If Haslam and Banner want to bring in some new FO guys and scouts to help that's fine, and if they want to suggest going after a big-name FA, fine. What we don't need is some big EGO coming in here and tearing apart what we have started. Overall, I hate this idea and hope it is only a rumor.
