Farmer Staying in Cleveland over Dolphins GM Job
-
So even the FO wants out.
GRREEEAT!

Bald is beautiful. Shave it clean.

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

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.

That's good to hear.
Now what do we need Lombardi for, again?

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

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.

Is Farmer actually that good or is it case of he isn't Lombardi?

I could speculate a little bit:
1.) Pettine was not the candidate Lombardi wanted to hire
2.) Lombardi is butting heads with Farmer and the other scouts on their prospect rankings.
3.) Lombardi's probably not going anywhere this offseason, but maybe he's on the hot seat

Most people think he's a big part of that Chiefs team that's been assembled out in KC.

Current possibities, but was it not also true that Lombardi wanted Chud? That plus his 2013 draft ought to be enough.
