Dorsey Hired

I guess I'm an influencer and they listened to me when some hours ago I asked to sign him NOW, lol.
Well, I'm less bitter now. I believe he's a solid GM and this doesn't leave the front office 'headless' to prepare the offseason.

Makes me believe the Peyton rumors can be put to bed, too.

People are bitching about the Rooney rule. If I'm not mistaken, Mike Singletary was brought in for an interview a few weeks ago right?

Yep. It was reported at that time that Singletary was NOT interviewed for the HC position. Good catch Harry!
Mike

Or, and this might sound crazy, we keep a coach for his third year to help actually attract someone to take a job at our dumpster fire of a franchise.

You know what's fun? This team somehow was so secretive in their interviewing process, that no one really knows who they interviewed to the point that the guy who suggests minority canidates to teams is apparently going to bitch to the NFL because he doesn't know they interviewed Singletary.

@Browns have hired John Dorsey to become Cleveland's general manager, per league sources. He will be introduced at a press conference Friday.Count me as not surprised...
I read that they have had a private firm vetting him for about a month.
Again, count me as not surprised... the Haslam\Hue\McCarron meeting on the field- the Owner\Hue\players meeting minus Sashi. The tea leaves were there, if we wanted to read them....
It's done this way in any large company.
I've heard of an organization bringing a guy in to "show him the ropes" and then firing the guy who trained him....
Here is the thing, I don't think Sashi was the GM. His title was always Vice President of football operations. He however had control of the roster. The people they had been interviewing have been for a GM position that would have been available without Sashi being fired, which was their original plan according to reports. The big reason Sashi likely got fired was most likely because Dorsey said he wouldn't take the job without control of the roster.
Could it have been (unlikely) they asked Sashi to go back to his old job as beancounter, and he wouldn't accept the demotion?
PS I sure hope Dorsey is better than those last two "football guys" Farmer and Holmgren...
-
As some of us mentioned before...if a football guy was being brought in to have control of the roster...then Sashi would be let go. In the grand scheme of things, that's the only way it could go down. Sashi would HAVE TO be let go.
I, for one, am glad to see that Jimmuh had his ducks lined up properly this time. HAVE your new guy in hand before you fire.
Where's Peyton Manning's new house in Cleveland?

Yeah, in Sashi's position, personal pride would prevent him from accepting a demotion, regardless of how good he might be on the contract end. Who's next on the way out the door? My money is on DePo getting sent packing...
Ha, Peyton as a "special Consultant" sure. BTW, IIRC Jim Brown has that title, and he doesn't live in Cleveland...

My short lived exile has been postponed on this hire... Also anyone thinking this is a pure football guy?

That's the analytics company contracted by John Dorsey for the chiefs. Feel free to read the case study about "moneyball" being used by dorsey as far back as 2009 in the selection of Clay Matthews. If anything we have DOUBLED DOWN on analytics rather than strayed away from them.
-
What’s that? Cheat your costumers?
if my 'costumers' came up with that wardrobe they'd be cheated, s.h.i.t.e. on and then FIRED.

All teams use Analytics and have for years. The difference is what position they hold in the organization - are they making the decisions or just providing the decision-makers with the data and analysis. In this case, it looks like he outsourced the Analytics instead of having it done internally.
I'm a bit concerned with a few other red flags.
If he's really a disorganized guy who doesn't keep the rest of the organization informed, this could become a huge problem.
It's also apparent that Hue has the owner's ear. If he can go over the GM's head, we could be in for another round of FO in-fighting for the next two years and end up with another cluster-f. Two years seems to be Haslam's limit, despite any statements made publicly.
-
when the browns decide to go outside the box i guess it means someone wiping down the floor after them later with bleach.
i've picked a KC/Detroit SB every year and both crap out worse than a marvin lewis HCed team.....
if haslam had listened to fans bernie would be sitting at a desk with his scotch looking at a one paged yellow binder scribbled note, closing his eyes, rolling the dice and praying no snake eyes....or box cars.
-
I have absolutely no faith in anyone that’s seen the last two years and agreed to keep Hue Jackson as head coach.
None.
-
Shmuck mccarron. if he was sooo good he'd be starting somewhere.
dorsey might be a saviour or might be another huge flippin whiff. give me the draft and TC to figure him out.
god help us if Hue has anyone's ear (in a jar on a shelf). i think this marks the beginning of the Mayfield 6 game era in cleveland.
Hue talking to dee haslam:

Jesus Christ that was fast

Not really. He bought Cowhers house in Berea 2 months ago.

Fired GM who couldn’t get another job. Terrible hire.

M Holmgren was never GM here. Farmer was Haslam's mouthpiece.

Do we know the status of McCarron's suit to become an unrestricted FA? Didn't his agent file a complaint against the NFL after the trade with us didn't go through?
As I said in another thread- depends if he wins his grievance or not. UFA- maybe. RFA, and the Bengals slap a first round tender on him? No way in hell. Even Hue (at least I hope) isn't crack headed enough to give up the #1 overall (or at the very worst the #3) for McCarron.
He drafted Kevin Hogan -> He's a genius
Let's sign him NOW!
^^^ LOL!!!!!

I'm sorry Hoorta, I didn't see the other thread. Lots of info I'm sorting through right now. I've been a big Alex Smith fan for years now, and there's a part of me that wants him to come to Cleveland. With the Chiefs falling apart the past 5 games or so, maybe it's time for the Patrick Mahomes era to begin? If that's the case, what will it take to get him? I say we get Alex Smith, draft Rosen (or maybe Lamar...my dark horse!), and keep Kizer. That's a QB group I can rally behind.
Of course, we don't know the price it'll take to get Alex Smith (if he's even for sale), but I don't think it's going to be high because the Chiefs are kind of in a bit of salary cap trouble (I THINK, might be wrong). So that tells me the Chiefs might simply CUT Smith at the end of the year. Easiest way to get salary cap under control is to get rid of the QB making big bucks.
No fan should EXPECT Josh Gordon to be back next year. We all know better than that. But we all should expect us to go after the top FA wide receivers. I really believe that. Let's get an accurate, veteran QB. Spend money on the RIGHT veteran receivers, while drafting one early. Hope to heck Coleman stays healthy, and pray even harder for Josh to be on the right track. Chip away at our defensive holes, and maybe...just maybe...we can start fielding a competitive team.
