Farmer: Star player with a degree from Duke, played three years in the NFL (Eagles) before injury ended his career. Scout for the Falcons for several years (lots of talent there), Director of Pro Personnel in KC (lot's of talent there), 39 years old ... this is the kind of resume you hitch your wagon to, not a guy that fetched Al Davis coffee for eight years and then talked on TV about other people's drafts.

God, I hated ratface Banner and Lombardi since day one ... tried to give them a chance ... but just knew they were wrong for us.

Let's roll ...

I know how to use Google. But, I'm interested to hear why he is considered such a great candidate, from a source that knows a little bit more... I am just happy that he's a "football" guy, not a money/metrics guy...

I like Haslam so much right now. He's tired of the browns being a joke and so am I

I wasn't answering your question. I posted that on my own before I saw yours. Glad you can google, Chachi.

He's a big-time football guy, alright. A previous scout, etc. What a great move.

Anyone wonder if Haslam will accept less than the number one pick? I'm thinking Bridgewater

[Comeonman]

I feel a little better now about not trading up in this draft and getting fucked. Sign Ward and Mack. Have an awesome draft GO BROWNS

Love that picture of Farmer. That's the guy I want calling the shots...

[Tim Couch Pulls Out]

I'm just as happy as the next guy.

Let's hope it stays this way and we're not calling for Farmer's head a year from today.

Now, we:

Draft Manziel (or Bortles, still hoping for Bortles).

Draft Christian Jones.

Draft Louchiez Purifoy.

Draft Cyril Richardson.

Draft Ed Reynolds.

Draft Storm Johnson.

Sign Jeremy Maclin.

Sign Jon Asamoah.

Haslam - Farmer has final say on 53 man roster Pettine has final say on game day roster.

[LBC mike]

that is good to hear.

[ClevelandFanForLife]

I won't lie, over the past couple weeks I have been very skeptical about the Browns future. I did not trust Banner and Lombardi and thought they were not qualified for their positions. This makes me ECSTATIC!!! I believe in Farmer and have a renewed faith in Haslam. He isn't an owner that will tolerate any bullshit. Good for him to pull the trigger.

[jcam222]

This is amazing new for sure. I am so happy that I probably won't throw up in my mouth when I get my season ticket bill.

[LBC mike]

I feel good about this whole thing. I felt sick when lombardi and banner were brought in.

[bonedawg]

Great news. Was there any mea culpa from Haslam on bringing these two shit-stains on board in the first place? This off-season has been a roller coaster already and it is only February. I'd love to know if Chud's firing was a Banner/Lombardi decision or Haslam wanted him gone. The coaching search turned us into a joke and Haslam was fielding questions about being a stooge. I thought Banner/Lombardi were locked in for at least next year until Farmer turned down the Miami gig. That's when you knew the winds of change were blowing. Go Browns!

Jimmy don't fuck around. I hope he doesn't get indicted. Do you think he's ever killed anyone?

I wonder... if that was the final opening of Haslam's eyes about them Good point.

Banner was a jerk to the media, sure he and scumbardi were jerks to the fa's.

Maybe that got back to Haslam, via the coaches. Then he saw what was really wrong -

those two dipsticks ! This is freaking GREAT !

Maybe the final straw was Lombardis preferred choice Gase getting his ass kicked in the super bowl
