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

  • 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

    I'll take the top 2 guys ALL DAY

  • Go Browns!!! 🙂

  • And you thought Lombardi was resentful and bashed the Browns before his second stint with them.

  • Wonder what they're going to do with all these Lombardi and Banner scouts now.. will we forgo this years draft like we did last year?

    The perception of Lombardi is a sniveling undermining snakey weasel... will he do his best to sabotage us now that he's canned?

  • Well I think this is good news. Maybe Jimmy could have done this sooner but better late than never. I noticed during the presser when asked about Banner's comment concerning Quinn, Haslam shot back he was full on board with Pettin and wonder if that started things in motion added to wanting to let Mack walk, which I cannnot figure out why we woudl do that given our cap situation and that Mack is young player. Jimmy saw the light and said buck stops with me.

  • Awesome! Go Browns!

  • 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.

    I like it! Would like to see JC Copeland in there too.

  • Just jerked off to the article about firing Lombardi. Greatest release ever

    They'll probably retain some people, keep some people.

    All their current draft scouting stays with the team. Lombardi/Banner won't release the Browns current big board because they need to try to stay employable.

    Looking forward to lombardi going back to NFLN and bashing every browns pick and seeing them turn into pro bowlers.

    Banner's reputation is more weasel than lombardi too. Lombardi's reputation is being a stubborn horrible talent evaluator.

  • I think when George Thomas, (not a sports reporter) told Haslam that the number one question on the stations website was if the Three Stooges were running the Browns was the beginning of the end for Banner and Lombardi. Also asked at that press conference - If Lombardi had been pivotal in firing Chuc, why the hell wasn't he at the press conference? http://larrybrownsports.com/football/reporter-cleveland-browns-three-stooges-video/215264

    I think about three seconds after the Three Stooges question was asked, Haslam realized how much the pooch (the browns dawg?) was screwed.

    Add in an embarrassing, disjointed, mocked coaching search and he realized that the organization was up to it's lips in shit.

    Of course we will never know, but I wonder what Chud might have done minus Lombardi and plus some talent?

  • I thought it was interesting that Haslam said about Farmer that he was easy to work with in terms of give and take. Translation: Banner and Lombardi were utter pain in the asses to work with.

  • The media is mistaken if they think they can push Pettine around. No one pushes Pettine around. He's icer than Belichick.
