      This is what I want. Get rid of this arrogant asshat, and keep SOME of our other pieces. O'Neil can take a hike, but I want to keep the others. Oh, and a new OL coach. Pettine is a first time coach, I'm on board for a 3rd year. He's a notoriously hard worker, and I want to see if he can improve. But he simply MUST sever the umbilical cord with O'Neil.

        I think this may be the right formula. Dump the OL coach and the DC.....as these were our biggest problem areas. Get a GM that can recognize talent above the 4th round.

        I could have drafted as well as Farmer just by looking at CBS sports or Walter Football.....or even Kiper...and choosing from there lists.

        Giving Pettine another year would be OK.....as long as, yes, he brings in a professional DC....not the bum they have now.

          Gipper, we have no OL coach. He got dumped for his 'snafu' early in the season. We've had an interim assistant guy doing the job, but frankly we should just have had Joe Thomas coaching the guys.

            Right....when Andy Moeller got fired it has been a bandaid applied as far as OL coaching.

            JT could very well go into coaching when his playing days are done.

              They better not fire him unless they have a true plan in place (as much as I hate to write that). Firing him and hoping to lure someone will just continue the stupid inept cycle the Browns have perfected.

              Yeah, he has totally screwed up 2 drafts. If there is a strike 3 with him, then I'd can him.

                  Yea, I don't put any credence in this just because this guy says it.....I put credence in it because many, many people have said it and have speculated about it...and because of his record.

                  And it is not just the first rounders:

                  Terence West....traded up for and taken in 3rd round.......busted out

                  Vince Mayle...4th round.....cut before season started

                  Plus Gilbert/Johnny/Erving/Shelton......all with suspect futures and suspect production to date

                  (but I do expect Erving/Shelton/Cooper/Orchard/Johnson/Campbell to come around)

                  Bito was best pick so far. Kirksey OK.

                          the fact that the guy tweeting had to put "Real Ray Farmer" on the account leads me to believe it is certainly not the real Ray Farmer.

                                  Considering some of our pro bowlers have played like rookies under these coaches, I'm loathe to say the Farmer drafts have been busts already, Gilbert aside.

                                    I am not totally opposed to this. The issue however is the D that Oneil is running is Pettines defense. He's even said he wouldn't make the calls any differently. He'd have to be willing to bring in a new D coordinator who runs a different defense. Not sure he would do well with that.

                                        Dawg Pound Nation is about as credible as John Manzeil telling everyone how his weekend go. I'd believe walter and Stockton before I'd put any faith in these bozos
