Should Paul Depodesta Stay
-
This is a hard question for me to ask, because I don't have a clear cut opinion one way or another, and most of that has to do with the fact I have zero clue what this guy actually does in the building. My thinking is that if his soul job was to set up the actual Analytics department and run it, depending on how much Dorsey plans on relying on it should determine if he stays. I think said department has a place in the NFL, just as long as it isn't the driving force behind all of your player acquisitions. I mean Sheet I'm sure most NFL teams use analytics to some degree or another.
But if Depodesta was the mind behind alot of these trades, or was the one who came up with the trade for Oswieler for a 2nd round pick, I think he has a place in this front office just as a strategist. I don't think anyone would argue that we havent done a great job the past 2 years in getting value back for failed draft picks or maximizing draft capital for trade backs, or thought outside the box. If he is the reason for this, and it wasn't Sashi, then he could be a great keeper if he wants to stay.

I would think Depodesta needs to spend time in Berea.
My understanding is he rarely ventures to NEO, but lives in La Jolla California.

What has this guy done for the last 10+ years? I don't know who is more overrated this guy or Mark Shapiro.

I agree with Rich. I've got no idea what the fukker has been doing since he got here.

If they can't find him, can they still axe him?

I highly doubt he had direct involvement on an personnel decisions. He is a big picture guy brought in to implement processes. In all likelihood he will stay around long enough to tailor the analytic department to fit the new GM ( and likely new president of ops) desires.

Should DePo stay?
From the Browns perspective, absolutely. Very little doubt in the role the DePo led Analytics Dept. has played a role in all the positives HB mentioned plus FA signings and pegging the value of out FAs.
But from DePo's perspective? Doubtful... He should be picking out his next job this week (maybe Hockey this time?) and give notice as soon as the deal is done. Remember the quote of his someone around here has had in their sig forever? Something along the lines of:
"It's easy to make unpopular decisions when you are all in the same boat."
It became clear this week that there was more than one boat...

No kidding.... he hasn't done squat since getting OJ off.

I suspect that is they let DePodesta go that the organization would just turn around and try to find a guy that does the same thing as he. So, does it matter if the guy doing that job is named DePodesta or Oscar DeMille or Pauly Shore or Dazzy Vance...they will have somebody doing what he does.

Cool...
But would they do the voodoo that he do so well?

Now Tour- I get called out because that's essentially what I've been saying?
I need a bike ride now to chill out- and it's 40 degrees here in Dayton...
