Could Hue be one and done?

Haslam is going to do what haslam wants he does not care about Cleveland the team the fans or the coaches he cares about one thing money and if he can still make massive profits he will continue to do so dispite the losing the team has almost tripled in value so it's a toss up what he will do what it comes down to is that the browns will not get better till the fan stop going and stop buying merchandise

That seems to be about the only answer. He might understand money. Good Gawd! Even Rolling Stone magazine rates the Haslam's as the 8th worst team owners in the world.

I mean Christ, our o-line is so bad they really ought to just step aside and let the defensive front just cream the quarterback. He'd probably get hit less awkwardly and might survive longer than a game.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

Just forget the guards. Put an extra two receivers on the field. Swap out Erving for a TE who can learn to snap. Job done.

At least Randy tried to hire good football people. But now when it comes down to pick or no pick on draft day, we have a baseball number cruncher, an Ivy league number cruncher, Dee and Jimmy as fan ball crunchers.

1) EVERY TEAM uses analytics. Not some, not part, not half - every single one. The Browns have just done it slightly more. This is NOT a differentiator.
2) Good football people? You and I have VERY different definitions of "good".
I trust Tour and tia over Walrus and Tom Heckert. Savage, Kokinis, Heckert, Farmer --- all these idiots were not the least bit competent while with the Browns but were "recommended" by Others as being Good Football People.
Translation: They can't actually execute their job for shyte but they've been drawing a paycheck from other NFL teams, so They Simply Must Be Good Because Reasons.

Could he be? Sure... there are no guarantees.
Will he be? No... if we keep changing horses, there's no way we ever get out of the middle of this stream.

Oh and btw, i love the nonchalant attitude of everyone involved in the org that 'we don't care about winning this season' as this team is breaking franchise and long-storied nfl records for suckage. Love the browns but who wants to be the guy in the club house shitter talking proudly of sticking by the all-time worse football team in history? It's like you bragging that you threw a counle of hundred down on Skin The Cat as Secretariat goes across the line winning by ten lenghts.
What's he supposed to say? "Yeah we wanted at least 5 wins from Hue because we like the number 5 and it's a good number, if he doesn't get them he's fired" or "I don't understand why we're not in the playoffs, we're so great and all our players should be pro bowlers" or "Honestly we knew we wouldn't be in the playoffs and this year won't be judged on wins and losses"
Which one seems reasonable? Which seems deluded? Which applies unnecessary additional pressure?
What's he supposed to say? "
how about this....man up and tell the truth?
"we'll have to re-evaluate our evaluation process. we are looking at bringing in a football guy because between po and i and our analytic process we learned from harvard, we realize that that blows. we apologize for our draft and not picking any real play makers on either side of the ball. i'd like to announce that the franchise is giving back to our season ticket holders who have been the back bone of our fanbase by awarding 2 free tickets per ticket holder next year. i suck, po sucks. and if hue doesn't get his shit together we'll all be out of work."
how's that for a start?

The vaunted turtle play? Is that what ur suggesting?

Mccown takes the snap and he immediately stops, drops and rolls into the fetal position....what a great play boy the defense has no answer for that play folks....its like watching a healthy lou gehrig in his prime so unfair so unfair!!
-
We will reach levels of embarrassment that shouldn't even be possible if we fire Hue after this year.
-
IMO hue doesn't even come into play. people's argument that no one could coach this young no talented team is correct. but then i say, who do you blame for that? and please, we don't have YEARS for these guys to learn how to do their jobs. when i worked on mad ave, there was no excuse for a drop in revenue or sales that'd topple your bottom line like the browns annually suck.
-
I've been reading alot of articles saying that Hue has been absolutely worst coach in the league awful...but still is getting a free pass this year so thats where we are at... welp he's got until the bye of next year i suppose but i wouldn't put it passed the browns FO to look elsewhere.

I don't know the exact reason why Hue was called to the principles office immediately following the game, buy I would imagine it wasn't to ask Hue if he had a nice Thanksgiving.
If I had to guess, it would be that Jimmah is addressing the 800 lb gorilla in the room...namely the ~20k fans sitting in a 70k seating capacity stadium.
Wealthy businessmen don't like to see their revenue going down the shitter, and that's what is happening.
Two things that will define you: Your determination when you have nothing. Your attitude when you have everything. - Mike McCartney -
Please consider if Hue is gone, you lose basically any chance to sign Pryor and Collins.

Yep, money talks. And even with revenue sharing, these owners all know who is throwing the least in the pot.I don't know the exact reason why Hue was called to the principles office immediately following the game, buy I would imagine it wasn't to ask Hue if he had a nice Thanksgiving.

Other people call that the Victory Formation. Not sure what the Browns would call it.

Hue may have some blame....but there is plenty to throw around. First and foremost, Jimmy must be the first in the ring to wrestle that Gorilla.
(Hey....how many people would show up at the game to see our owner wrestle a Gorilla at halftime....those 20 K would be there...for sure).
Then his Harvard crew (who may be better at rowing on the Charles River than putting together a football team). They would have to be the tag team in the undercard). Then Hue.....then Horton. Then the players.

I'm not saying for their sake. son saying you have two good, young players that love their coach which means the attitude in the locker room will be similar. You want to set a good example early, get them signed and keep your coach.

^^^ This. You fire Hue, you're looking at coaching talent like Vince Kehres. Never heard of him? Head Coach of D III Mount Union.
how about this....man up and tell the truth?

how's that for a start?
I like it Mik. Not just a couple freebee tickets, at least a $1 reduction in ticket price for every loss. AND a $100 voucher for every season ticket at the concession stands.

yeah, i guess the steelers back in the day that won 4 championships used analytics....pfffft....only thing analytics does is give you numbers, it does not measure heart...ie....new england pats...they pull people off the streets and can tell they are football players...they are not using analytics to find them...analytics is complete fucking bullshit.....it only tells you that you should get rid of so and so because he's 33 and is considered old for football...only thing is, that 33 yr old could be capable of playing better for 3-4 more yrs than someone that is drafted because they are young and cannot play one fucking iota of football....analytics does not measure that, that comes from good football people knowing the player and what he is capable of doing
