Pettine & Farmer fired what's next?

4-12 & 5-11 and then
It was important to us that we communicate directly with you regarding our decision to part ways with General Manager Who Cares and Head Coach Who Cares. We greatly appreciate Who Cares dedication and hard work while with the Cleveland Browns. We’ve made this difficult decision because we don’t believe our football team and football operations were positioned well for the future.
We are all disappointed with where we are and clearly understand your frustrations. We take full responsibility and understand you expect better from us. Your support and loyalty to the Browns is beyond compare, and as the stewards of this franchise, we take the task of creating success to heart. We are confident we will build a winning football organization.
Our focus as we move forward is on finding strong, smart leaders with high character who are relentlessly driven to improve our football team, willing to look at every resource possible to improve, and who embrace collaboration to ultimately make the best decisions for the Cleveland Browns.
We will approach the search for our next football coach and executives to lead our football operations with a clear vision regarding what we need to do to build a successful organization. Along with strong leaders, we need to build out a strategic plan, stay disciplined to it, and develop the right systems and processes to make better decisions for short and long-term success. We will be methodical in looking at candidates that epitomize the values we have laid out. While we understand the inherent challenges that come with changes, we’ve learned valuable lessons during our past four years as owners that will help us make sure we provide our team the best people, leadership and resources to succeed.
Our family is deeply committed to bringing you the winning team you deserve while continuing to try and make a difference in the community.
We are excited for the new opportunities ahead of us and embrace the hard work that needs to be done.
Respectfully and gratefully yours,
Dee and Jimmy Haslam

He refused to even interview with us 2 years ago....After watching the owner blow out another coach in 2 years, I'd be more willing to bet he doesn't interview again. We're not getting Gase, or Kelly or Pagano. We're getting the 49ers water boy after all the other candidates take other jobs.

Doug Marrone would be awesome. Then even the sunshine pumpers would come over to the dark side

Here is a little write up on Sashi Brown. Looking like we are going to have a couple of Joe Banners here

Well no one liked the guy who would chew glass for the franchise

Well at least this off season I don't have any false expectations for next year.
I expect us to suck, but I hope we don't

What's next...hmmm...more of the same I'd guess.

Bernie Kosar. Give him a job. Doing something. For the love of christ.

I'm sticking to what I predicted last night. Jim Brown will be the new GM, He will Hire Doug Marrone as HC, Then Jim Shwartz will be hired as DC, OC will be Mike Shula.
I wanted Greg Sciano as HC but he went to Ohio State

What's next?
Wild Card weekend and working the draft... whole lot of tape to breakdown.
Then Conference elimination games and working the draft...
Then Super Bowl and working the draft....
I'll tune back into the "searches" when the introductory pressers are held...

I guess we could do no worse than Sonny Weaver for GM .......

Right? What could be worse than giving ohio native qb Bernie kosar, the browns best quarterback since Otto Graham, who knows football and somehow still loves this steaming shit pile of a team a job?
