Lombardi and Banner gone, Farmer new GM
-
This is the best off-season ever and it it's only February. Thank you Jimmy for having the balls to do what is right!
Fuck you two stooges, don't let the door hit ya.
Go Cleveland Browns!
Fucking Jimmy and Fucking Pettine got together and said "fuck these guys" ... I prayed that this would happen.
We will be an organization to be proud of again!

Of course others will claim that this is just more evidence of dysfunction and instability. But as far as I am concerned, this is a good thing.

Love that Lombardi is gone and Farmer is is in. I'll admit I'm one of the few that wanted to see Banner stay.

This is excellent news and in my mind was very predictable. After being sold a bill of goods by them regarding betting a new coaching staff he had to have seen their inadequacy. I am sure that over and over in interviews they were somehow mentioned by candidates in a negative light. This is the one way that Haslam can save face and truly by example say he holds them accountable.

I thought you'd be pleased Zombo haha

It was a fantasy ... I thought we'd have to endure one more sadsack losing season for it to happen.
But, yes ... Christmas in February!
I wondered why Farmer didn't take that Miami job. I bet Jimmy LOVED Pettine, Pettine set this whole thing up, got together with Farmer and said "don't leave", and then went to Jimmy and said "ditch the stooges" Or else Jimmy saw Farmer walking out the door, looked at Lombardi sipping his latte and said "what the fuck are we doing?"
Either way, this has all the swagger of an owner in CONTROL and Farmer and Pettine, the real football people, will have the authority.
I'm loving it. I may start drinking early today.

I shall now pat myself on the back profusely for sort-of calling it back in January (last sentence in linked post)!

Seriously, awesome news. I think we all sensed something was amiss with a front office where the GM never showed his face, and with the Ray Farmer media-blitz that's been going on lately. I am now MUCH less worried about the upcoming draft.

Nice.
No more Johnny Football then? Please?

that would be good. have a smart draft and free agency

I don't care what the outside media world thinks, we know this is best for our organization.
Free agents were going to stay away in droves because the word was out about Banner, and the organization was "radioactive".
The Pettine hire gave me hope, this day makes me feel like we are finally going to right this damn thing.
The power is now in the hands of Farmer and Pettine, who are football people that players can relate to, and out of the hands of the "suits" that play fantasy football with the draft and nickel and dime contract negotiations.
This doesn't mean we'll be champions, long way to go, maybe we'll only peak at 8-8 or 9-7 ... but we'll play with pride under Pettine and we'll be a team to be proud of again.
Sky's the limit. Just glad Bitchtits and Labialips are gone.

Say what you will, but Haslam clearly does not want to fuck around. It's a welcome change in my book that's for sure.

Seems to be the rumour on twitter from a draft scout
-
I think Haslam had to act ......just by the feedback received during the pro bowl of how Banner and Lombardi came across to people .......now with a new GM in place I am sure we will be a more attractive proposition in free agency ....

I love the moves. It is Christmas in February,The only question I have
is why were these guys not let go earlier? These guys were the ones
who picked our next coach and caused numerous candidates to say
no thanks I can't work under these two bozos.
-
Just heard. Fantastic! Now let's work on actually improving a team. No more "free years". Show promise or get out.
As for the question just posted about why these guys were not let go earlier, my guess is that there was debate over what players to acquire and/or what the division of power would be between the front office and coaching staff.

I believe that was the "straw that broke the camel's back." These guys were originally brought in to help Haslam get a start to running the business. Now that he got the right guys for GM and coach, it's time to take charge and be an owner... but slow down Jimmy!! We don't want a Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder in the box, so don't go overboard.

I love this point. Farmer and Pettine are "grass roots" football guys... Hopefully, we have somebody keeping an eye on the salary cap, but I know these guys are going to find and coach "football" players, and not be enamoured or distracted by some of the other crap that "business" guys do like a couple pennies here and there, or a guy's "star potential" (Manziel)...
