    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 know Jim Brown is old but so what! He's got to be better than Farmer! When Brown called Trent Richardson mediocre before he played a single game that was great!

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    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......

    @opal312 said:

    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

    http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/article-5/Sashi-Brown-named-to-Sports-Business-Journal%E2%80%99s-prestigious-40-under-40-list/efe4ed92-9570-4ec7-8d05-62019c4d7bdf

    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.

    @mudfly said:

    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.

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

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

    "You see the Rams are still thinking that they are playing Tony Dorsett" -Jim Brown 1978

  • so we our looking for a "director of player personnel" only? to head of scouting & scouts good luck finding that guy. Marrone will shit Tuesday (something Brown)

    Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends

  • 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...

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

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

    @TonyGrossi

    Browns HCs fired by Jimmy Haslam since 2013: Pat Shurmur, Rob Chudzinski, Mike Pettine: GMs fired: Tom Heckert, Mike Lombardi, Ray Farmer.

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

    He's another fucking lawyer like Scheiner.

    I could have picked our drafts as well using a Street and Smith's guide as the so called professionals that have been doing it for a while.......so that lack of experience may not bother me as much.

    4 straight coaches have had 2 years or less...but this time we will be patient.

    Bottom line: I have no problem being patient with seemingly competence. I have no problem being impatient with clear gross incompetence.

    That is my perspective.

    And an observation: we have not yet seen seemingly competence at work here.
