Here's the Problem
-
"Having final say" isn't "being a GM", just for the record. This front office structure is not new to us, it's what we ran with Heckert and Banner.
The scouting, pounding the pavement, conducting meetings with prospects, watching game tape, assembling a team - all of that is still likely going to be handled by the GM. Sashi is just, for all intents and purposes, a physical embodiment of a system of checks and balances. He will assemble the information from his GM, look at the stats, and figure out the best scenario for the team, in theory.
This will hurt the attractiveness of the position, for sure. No established GM would come here without absolute power. So I don't expect us to get an established GM. Further, it hurts our searching in the way that teams can now block us from interviewing candidates.
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to see us promote Morocco Brown to GM. Brown is the other half of the coin. Sashi is the former lawyer, analytic driven right brain - Morocco is the former player, talent evaluating left brain. Morocco was the assistant director of pro personnel in Chicago from 2001-2007, then the director of pro personnel in Washington from 2008-2013. IMO, this would likely be the best direction for the franchise. They have a rapport, they've worked together, and it still promotes some stability. With Morocco taking over, I think we'd see less of a roster overhaul.
Also, that would make the two guys in charge "Brown"s.

Interesting point.....and plausible about Morocco Brown.
Could by quite a dynamic duo: Paul Brown, Jim Brown, Sashi Brown, Morroco Brown.
Now....we just need to find a qualified HC candidate named Brown.
Gary Brown?....former Browns...now Cowboys RB coach?

But then....what about Kuharich..........could he be in line for the DOPP?

Browns have fired player-personnel executives Morocco Brown and Billy Kuharich per sources

lol... timing was impeccable...

OK, I guess they don't want anyone associated with the old regime.

Tabor has survived a couple of these FO "purges".OK, I guess they don't want anyone associated with the old regime.
However, as bad as the special teams were this year it wouldn't surprise me if he was fired.

Hey, You know......I just realized that Tabor could be the missing link.....the one common thread from coach to coach to coach.....
And, think about it.....every time the kicking or punting team has the ball, they turn it over....every freakin time....
I say..... FIRE HIS ASS NOW!

LoL. I think thats the same guy that kept insisting JFF will be starter next year and that Austin Davis was the best QB on the roster.

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

Jeremy Maclin had a solid season.
87 receptions
72 yds per game
12.5 per recep
8 tds
14 receptions of 20 + yds
Maclins numbers are better than the remaining WR's. Riley Cooper 21 catches 2 TDs ? But Jackson and Maclin had to go ?
You don't think Chip Kelly could have used that type of production ?

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.

I'm sure that was a typo-he meant Pink Tank.

We had an idea that lasted about 2 minutes. Many of my ideas have been shut down in less time. Just ask my wife.
