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

    if he brings some people in who know what they are doing, thats a plus

      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

                                      The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you. "When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less." Paul Brown

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?

                                        Completely on point bro. Hue might just not be the right coach for us. He might not be right for "moneyball" or "sashi's process". It's ignorant to think 1-23 is the best record we could possible have. Hell, if you or I coached the team, we'd only be one game worse in the worst case scenario 😆. Jeff Fisher was a smart guy. The Rams are killing it this year now that they got rid of him. The Rams were 4-12 and he was shitcanned. You have to produce in the NFL to keep your job, except on the Cleveland Browns. I'm hoping we have the right guys in the office now, but i'm definitely not positive about that.

                                          I hear ya, there’s just no comparison between the two situations. The Rams have been and are loaded.
