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. Weve made this difficult decision because we dont 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, weve 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
Owners
Just another way of saying "I couldn't pour piss out of a boot even if the directions were written on the heel.. but keep buying those tickets & merchandise suckers"
Fuck You all

Not buying what your selling this time Jimmy.
Yeah something about him being a lawyer whose big into analytics.... Fuck it I'm rotating up from beer to rum tonight
I already switched from wine to bourbon and Crown Royal during the game......
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
Sorry, the only way you can get Shula is to promote him to assistant HC. OC is considered a lateral move.
Yeah not sure whats going on .... when I just google Sashi Brown Cleveland Browns the article still comes up. Let see if this works
I'm with Mud on this one. Just because the guy is smart (Harvard Law School grad) doesn't mean he can set up an NFL roster with any competence. Must have minored in hypnotism- because he's sure got Jimmy convinced.
There it is....
Sashi will decide the roster AND who we draft.....
Haslem has lost his mind
See above. What guy who wants to be a GM is going to want a president of football operations telling him who to draft? That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Sashi did great getting us the highest paid and lowest performing defense in the NFL.

This is un-fucking-believable

I'll be sure to rub this in the faces of any of these pricks that wanted Farmer and Pettine gone. They thought it couldn't get worse?
They're about to be proven wrong.
Farmer and Pettine are gonna be looking pretty good....in the rear view mirror.....bank it!
Cause where will they find a GM who doesnt get to make any choices and wants to answer to a 30 something contract lawyer????........

Others are posting that we are just going to love his choice of GM. LOL I keep getting this sick feeling it will be Bernie.
Jimmy obviously doesn't understand the he and his "non traditional" structure are the problem. Its a shame he wasn't convicted and removed prior to this season.

Here's the thing.......whats to love about ANY GM that cant make picks or decide the roster???
Whether they are calling him that or not....SHASHI is your Gm, if he's the decision maker(and he is)......so its already a done deal....
Shashi Brown = New GM

I left out a key word it should have read "lets see if this link works" cause the first one went down rather quick.I'm with Mud on this one.

Anyhow we can easily call Sashi Brown "Little Joe" as in Joe Banner

Mack will opt out, Schwartz will walk, Joe will asked to be traded, they will cut Manziel and Gilbert, Josh Gordon just said fuck it and sparked up a J, Chud just pulled the car around to pick up another one of his paycheck and told Pet and Farmer it's a "sweet gig boys!"As they walked by with their box full of stuff.
This is hilarious.

My guess as to what's going on? the owner owes A LOT of money. He wants to make a quick profit when he sells the team, so he's just going to try switching things around until their win record goes up, then he'll sell the team real quick, and make some quick money.
Problem is it is not that simple to build a winning team...
-
So a guy who has no experience in building a roster or running a draft will now decide both for the team? Good grief...
Pick Bosa #2 because we're still gonna suck and we can draft a QB in the top 5 next year.
YEP.....
And he mentioned how critical QB's are and then....immediately said.......and we have the 2nd pick.....
So.....hinted at QB early....

I can tell you exactly how these next two seasons will go almost down to the player we'll draft and how it's going to turn out.
We've all seen this act before, only things that change are the years.

And....he said no big $ free agents....we are building through the draft.....
So, there go my linebackers.....

He was behind the idea of putting that swimming pool in the corner of the stadium.You mean he was with the Jaguars, I'm on board now.
After all, it wasn't like Jacksonville was going to sell tickets for those empty seats just sitting there.

Yup... and the new "GM" in title will in effect be the Head Scout! That ought to bring 'em running...
And we got a search firm to boot... yippee! Means Jimmah gets to close his Bratenahl digs for the winter.
Just got the above parts of Haslam's presser and had to take a break.

If Jimmy says 3-4 year rebuild, he's basically hitting reset which means no Thomas,Mack or Haden by the time they ideally would be competitive.

I assume this is a joke and that you are not really as dumb as your avatar.

That asshole should just do us all a favor and sell the team to someone that knows what they are doing.
@TonyGrossi

All except perhaps Heckert deserved the ax.....so I am not blaming Jimmy for that.

He's another fucking lawyer like Scheiner.
My dog dropped a turd in the backyard with more of a football acumen than those 2 lawyers.
They should hire me then?
