Lombardi and Banner gone, Farmer new GM
-
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.

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

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?

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

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

I like that things are clear cut.
They were convoluted with the stooges.
What's more, I get the impression that this is the way Pettine wants it, so no one is stepping on anyone's toes.
Farmer gets the groceries, Pettine picks out the ones that he want for that week's stew.

I need to learn more about Farmer. Now, I have no idea what the draft and FA might look like. Hopefully, better than I could predict...

There was a video of him at the Senior Bowl evaluating what he saw to a reporter- it was all I needed to see to know Farmer has more football smarts in his big toe than Lombardi has in his entire body.

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 was willing to give Weasel Banner 1\2 a chance until I heard Haslam pulled him out of the NFL Main Office's "I need a job" pool. I said from day one, if Lombardi was that great a FO candidate, why was he on NFLN for years instead? Um- and you have to wonder- with Farmer turning down the Miami GM job, were there already private rumblings this was coming down the pike?

Yes, I noticed the similarity too. Now if he can just draft Neo, Super Bowl here we come. .

I like Farmers direct approach. Let the "rising star" become a star here and not somewhere else.
Lombardi must not have been on the same page as Pettine and the other coaches. Get rid of the stubborn cancer.

Well, the Browns now definitely look more Bad Ass with these guys in charge. Lets just hope they are more Ming the Merciless and The Rock than Uncle Fester and Urkel
