Browns FO comments "disparaging to downright nasty"

Last Paragraph states, "The Cleveland Browns organization is not getting much respect here at the Senior Bowl. The attitude towards the Browns, specifically the front office, from personnel people around the league has ranged from disparaging to downright nasty. Several comments were passed at the South’s afternoon practice that few are surprised the Cleveland franchise cannot find a head coach considering “those in charge”. In fact choice adjectives were used by front office people here in Mobile to describe “those in charge” in Cleveland."
I think it's time that Haslam DO something about the image that his guys are doing to this team. I can understand wanting to bring in "Football" guys as a new owner, but I am not sure Haslam did enough "checking" to see how these guys are viewed by other teams FO.
My confidence in Banner and Lombardi is ice thin, it's time for Haslam to intervene.

Why is this not in the least bit surprising?

Worst part is, with 6 Pro Bowlers, 46 mill, and 10 picks, the Browns won't be able to help fielding a really talented team. Someone will write this: "Surprise! After what seemed like a circus of a coaching search, Browns win the offseason by signing (NAMES) and drafting (NAMES)."
Then they'll win 10 games and Coach (NAME) is coach of the year, a genius.
Man, that's gonna suck.
Seriously, like five or six years ago, the Bengals were shredded for being cheap, not spending to the cap, drafting horribly, and being the place nobody wanted to go. Not long ago, the Cardinals (and that oppressive heat) were in the same boat.
Then the Cardinals went to the Super Bowl. The Bengals are consistently called one of the league's most talented teams and have gone to the playoffs three straight years.
Uh, hyperbole, anybody?

I might be wrong, but I don't think they can sign a "major" free agent. Those upper tier free agents can make big bucks anywhere & they have to have pride in what they do to have attained that level. Do we really think they would sign with a team (Browns) of which they would be embarrassed & ashamed? I don't, & I also think Lombardi may single handedly screw up the upcoming draft that has us in a very positive position. . The worst part is that it's beginning to look like Haslam may wait too long to make a move he HAS TO make if he expects to recover from the damage they have already done.
Jimmy, if you wait until free agency & the draft to get rid of these guys, you'll be dead in the water.

Canton Mike has the pitchforks and I have the torches~ Let's light these motherfuckers up.
It's bullshit that Haslam can just buy OUR team from a neverhere like Lerner and turn this motherfucker into a circus. I would wonder if this is all a game the Pittsburgh boy got while he was there with the rest of those scandalous motherfuckers. THE FBI, LOMBARDI, ONE AND DONE, JOE the shmoe BANNER, Bess the MENTALIST, "John" Quinton Grooves, Stood up for the dance- not once, not twice but three times(and that's just the reports that have come forward)... the shit just keeps fucking coming.
This crazy train is going off the rails!!! HANG ON GUYS!!!!

Yeah, anything can happen, but those good things happen to other teams. Just watch Lombardi get suckered into an RGIII deal with the Texans to take Manziel, and the guy gets his knee blown out in the first preseason game.

^+1. Other new coaches are getting their staffs together, and watching tape of senior bowl practices.
I agree with you on Lombardi- he has to go, and probably Banner too- rookie owner mistake. Let the scouting staff make recommendations to the new coach, whoever that is.
Haslam has to know by now he's right in the middle of a PR nightmare- and drafting Manziel to sell tickets isn't' going to solve the underlying problem.

You are golden.
First season above .500 we are closing the door.
I run a Browns Backers Club, we have 200 members and the team has not won more than five games in a season since we formed. Everyone in before we start winning will be "charter members" with preferred seating. Front runners can stand.

200 members, holy shit. We just started a club up here this season and are lucky to get 6 people on game day.

I'm in Naples Florida, and we have a ton of Northeast Ohio transplants who got away to escape the cold. We get a lot of people that come down during the season to visit friends and family too. We fill up an entire bar when we play divisional games ... we are going to have to start a second chapter if we start winning just to have two places to watch the games for all of the folks.

What did our front office expect? A glowing review in regard to the firing of Chud and the overall facilitation of this team. Hire Pettine as he actually has interest in coaching the Browns, before all other candidates become disinterested like McDaniels, Bowles and Gase. Also, I am new! Go Browns!!!!!!!

Imagine that, scouts and front office underlings from competing organisations using the guise of anonymity to pile on a well positioned team in both salary cap and draft picks before free agency and draft processes start. Non Story.

"Well positioned" means a lot of different things. In prison it could mean picking up a bar of soap from the shower floor. I'd say Browns fans are well positioned.
