Here's the Problem
-
I agree but my take is they are still hiring a guy they call GM in charge of player personnel and scouting. Did I misread that? There's a lot of info flying so it's possible I misread.The GM was named today. Saschi Brown is the new GM. Maybe not in title...but in the roles he was given today in the press conference.

Sashi has control over the roster and play personnel...

I want to be optimistic about Sashi Brown, because everyone deserves a chance. But Hasslam needs to fire advisors and his PR firm. Terrible announcement release, terrible preparation for Jimmy in his meeting with the media, and terrible title to give Sashi. I hate seeing bad execution on any situation.

They certainly could have prepped him to sugar coat it better. Agree completely.I want to be optimistic about Sashi Brown, because everyone deserves a chance.

Funny thing is, the way the FO is set up now is a perfect situation for Chip Kelly (some personnel say but not final)

Coach before gm just wont work any TOP gm would want there choice of coach not to mention would want control of roster!
Hiring a cap guy as the biggest voice in your organization is COMICAL!
ALSO found haslem comment some coaches will be kept STRANGE what decent coach will come here without being able to name his own staff?
Sadly i think this will turn out even worse thn the last gm head coach search!!

Guess i'll wait and see what happens with the gm and hc before i decide to renew sunday nfl ticket. Christ, I have been following the browns since 1963 and never in my wildest dreams would i have witnessed anything like this. This is not going to change either.until fucking shitsam sells this team to someone who knows what a football looks like...fucking charlatan. Looks like i might have to support the falcons. Oh well, at least i'll save some moola...

I agree with Haslam on the bit it's not so much about a certain structure but it's about having the right people for the job.
However, getting the right people is a bit of a problem for us

We probably had the right people 2 or 3 times but we fired them 2 years into a 3 to 5 year plan.I agree with Haslam on the bit it's not so much about a certain structure but it's about having the right people for the job.

Yea probably, but I don't think the Farmer/Pettine combo were the right people. At least not Farmer - which is a shame because everybody was excited when he replaced Lombanner.
I think Pettine could have been a successful coach, but when you clean the farm the coach usually gets forced out regardless.

because this franchise, moreover the owner(s), have no foresight past 1 or 2 years and instead of trusting the people they hired, they let the grumblings of a fanbase dictate their decision making.

I can't disagree on that but I am beginning to believe that the 3rd year in all these "plans" involves cocktails in Aruba.

Agree there. Starting with the GM that was here when Jimmah took over. Heckert Pettine Horton Turner Chud all could have won but were cut off at the knees. Happy to see Jimmahs wife is now part of the think tank and they have a kiddy lawyer to make the picks. Things are trending in the right direction.

The think tank. Hmmmmmmmm I bet there's a better name for it.

You nailed it! Most GMs want to hire their own people. FanSided ran an article last week that assured us Haslam would hire a GM first.
So I got to thinking; sure hope it's not Chip Kelly who was both. I don't think Chip is the answer unless you trust one guy to do it all. And he failed.

He failed? He was given one year as HC and GM. All those players he released that everyone complained about .. 1 is doing well and that's desean. Everyone else isn't doing shit
If chip can fix his people skills I'm all in on him
-
I will say, this structure set-up would lend itself into something old Chip Kelly would want. I'm far from crazy of the idea but he could slide into the HC and "GM" role again with Sashi calling the main shots in whatever the hell his title is. That would certainly be appealing to him I'm sure.
-
On the flip side any potential coach can nominate his "GM" which makes the job more attractive. The GM can be technically overruled by Sashi but unlikely since Sashi's not a football guy. In other words the Dwayne Bowe situation would be less likely to repeat itself.

Here is the problem all of you naysayers don't get:
We are NOT hiring a "GM"....not in the traditional term. We are hiring a director of player personnel...who will really be a subordinate to the HC.
So? You don't think this works? Well.....this same setup has worked to the tune of 6 Super Bowl appearances and 4 wins in New England. There, the "GM/DOPP" has been a subordinate of Bill Belichick's pretty much all along.
So, you don't like the setup. Tell the Pats it don't work.

And the structure does impact the attractiveness of the position.
For those that think the structure actually makes the HC position appear to be more attractive...
The problem is that Sashimi clearly has the Big Boss' ear. That plus the fact that the Scoutmaster will report to him will far outweigh the apparent perk of an HC getting to pick his talent supplier in the long run.
Having a skilled facilitator in the mix is a great idea, but one of the keys to successful facilitation is unquestioned impartiality... and having a direct report on one side of the table poisons that well.
I honestly would have auditioned Susudio in his new role for a season with Pet and Farmer, but with both of them continuing to report to Jimmah...
