    I'm guessing David Modell or Randy Lerner aren't good enough examples of nepotism.

          Well, it looks like he lacks any NFL experience, so..... I guess he'll fit right in.

                With Haslam selling out essentially to Warren Buffet, it is no surprise that the family may become more involved.....considering that the Browns WILL now basically be that family's business.

                So...perhaps think of it this way:   The Haslam's are like the Rooney family.   The older generation didn't do so well with that team......for 40 years they sucked under Art Rooney....but then the younger generation...Dan Rooney...took over...and they became a dynasty. 

                (and yes...I am sure you can find examples of where the younger generation has come along and been as bad or worse as the older generation....can you say 4 generations of Bidwill's with the Cards).    But....there is some chance.

                      Well don't get your hopes up he's not exactly Jimmy's offspring, like Rooney, he's just banging Jimmy's hillbilly daughter that helped him run some truck stops.

                            That is true, it isn't.  But, in the case of the Browns FO....I think we are dealing with an empty cartridge.  Or, at least the fact that the bullets they are all shooting seem to be blanks.

                                It's not who gets fired. It's about who you hire.  Jimmy's front office that he hired for Flying J is all on trial or confessed to theft. All in all, not good.

                                        That's what most Rams fans here in SoCal pissed and moaned about this past off season after they hired Sean McVay.

                                        As I've said multiple times...... Great coaches are not great coaches until they're great coaches. As well as...... We don't have to hire a coach that everyone has heard of - I see you there Sean McVay and Doug Pederson, we simply have to hire the right coach. 

                                        Can Hue still be that right coach? I'm saying yes - possibly, maybe... if he's willing to hire an OC and give him complete and total control of the offense...... but can or will he?

                                          As with sharpshooting anything ever.. I wish more people both on this forum and apparently in Berea worked to the following slogan: Don't oppose, propose.

                                          This means that simply saying "That's wrong rawr!" isn't enough.. if you want to assert something's wrong, you must propose and defend your personal alternative.

                                          I don't know why LaCanfora has a job when every article he writes appears to be gaslighting .. this move [if true] would be entirely ridiculous
