    If we are lucky its because Haslam told him Banner and Lombardi are headed out and he is getting a promotion.

    This!

  • Farmer, I say again, needs to be promoted, and in charge of the draft, along with the

    hc, whoever that is.

    Scumbardi and Banner should be fired. They didn't show any improvement over the year, either.

  • One at a time...........Lombardi now............Banner next off season. Give Farmer and coach control over personnel..........Banner can do what he does best,

    count the money and keep the cap in control. .

    i was wrong when i said farmer (you?) is gone. i thought he had already taken the dolphins GM position.

    BUT

    yes this guy needs a promotion. he seems like the only level-headed guy in a room off-balance. he should have at least 33.3% say in player acquisitions.

    👍

  • So even the FO wants out.

    GRREEEAT!

  • Speaking of Banner and watching the presser now wouldn't you think he has plenty of money on hand?? If so why is he sporting the worst combover I have ever seen. Shit buy a hair transplant or buzz cut it.

  • Bald is beautiful. Shave it clean.

  • I saw an Eagle fan describe his hair as "melted black Twizzlers".

    This thought has been in my mind for some days now.

    The first step was getting the HC issue settled.

    Now wait to get all the assistants settled, and I honestly think we may see Haslam show Lombardi the door.

    Lombardi hasn't even been tracking players down at the Senior Bowl, Farmer's the one that's been scouting out the the players.

    Think about that a minute.

    Farmer's doing all our scouting, then gets hired by Miami as their new GM (so we would've basically been paying Farmer to scout for the Dolphins), and then since Lombardi's off schmoozing somewhere we end up without the scouting info we're looking for.

    No sir, it would not surprise me one bit to see Lombardi heading out after all the crap that's been tied to him already.

  • More power taken from Lombardi is very good news for the draft.

    The Miami FO is more of a mess than here. Farmer was seeing the uncertainty there and declined the second interview.

    That's good to hear.

    Now what do we need Lombardi for, again?

  • Farmer has been nearly 100% in charge of scouting for the draft since we brought him in. He's the one at all the events, with his team of guys. Not sure how much say he has on draft day though, but I would hope closer to 50%

    If the Browns hit a home run in the 2014 draft, who do you think will get credit for a great draft? It sure as fuck won't be Farmer!

    So? What you are saying is that Lombardi may actually be Mike Holmgren Jr.? Hangs arounds, smokes cigars. does diddley squat?

  • Seems, btw, that everyone is turning down the Dolphins GM job.

    A most interesting rumor is starting to heat up today, just along the lines of what I speculated on above :

    MF Jones ‏@CONCEDE 3h Whispers seem to think a major move is being discussed..... Front office related. If you've paid attn you prob know my guess #Browns

    Jeffrey Goines ‏@Animaleyz 2h @CONCEDE some kind of under the table deal Farmer and Pettine came to while in Mobile. Farmer staying announcement came minutes after...

    MF Jones ‏@CONCEDE 3h Whispers think the move could happen before the combine.... Which could explain why in the world farmer wanted to stay. #Browns

    MF Jones ‏@CONCEDE 2h “@FiveThous: .@CONCEDE Lombardi gone and farmer promoted? Dream come true.”-- or both promoted

    One thing I can say, this Off - Season hasn't been boring yet . . .

  • This would be awesome. Keep our good people here, get rid of the guy that failed 5-6 times.

  • Sounds like this is coming from a couple different directions and sources, supposed to be more info coming out about it over the next two or three days.
