Lombardi and Banner gone, Farmer new GM

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?
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?

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?
Morpheus is our gm. We're all set now
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

George Thomas started out in sports for the ABJ. I think he covered the Cavs beat for a few years.

I think the fact that Lombardi didn't want to get off his ass to go to the Senior Bowl convinced JH that he was just there for the paycheck.
Which I think may be true. He had his 5 years in TV and that is nothing like being an NFL GM and Lombardi wanted to hold Holmgren hours.

I actually looked at my calendar to make sure it wasn't the first day of April... Just saying.

Loving the board reactions...we're taking it nationally (screw em)... after watching/listening to all the pods, presses, and sound bites - I don't get the feeling of chaos at all... it's pretty calming and bringing some clarity to the off-season.
Farmer - hope he's going to be active/available to media and fans- looks like a great promotion
Jimmy - clearly taking "his shot"... whatever the future holds- he said gimme the wheel- "I own this bitch"
Pettin - going it have some say now, that org chart - skinny at the top (as it should be)
Our coordinators ? just getting to know them ... one things for sure, their young, fresh, and are here to prove something
Overall , this fan is excited at the news of the day.... deep draft coming, plenty of picks, and some cap to burn...
Here we go Brownies, here we go !!!!!!!!!!!
Bermeck ( like Jimmy or not... the browns are a story all the time...time to make us "the" story next season !)

every guy with a pair of balls just went wtf? what were those guys in the lower pic doing here in the first place?

fan-fucking tastic news!!
but to you that thinks this brings us closer to trading up to get the #1 pick i call bullshit. i think it's just the opposite. Farmer and Pettine are both defensive guys.
do you really think these ex-defensive guys are going to trade away picks for some skinny runt QB?
GTFO.
-
no they won't...but they will still acknowledge we need more than Gordon for next years qb to throw to. If Watkins is as good or potentially better than Gordon we have to take him. If he's gone, has to be Clowney.
