    oooooh, that reminds me...... HBO's West World should be starting again soon. 

    HBO is making a new show too. “Jimmy Eat World”, where James Haslam buys the Cleveland Browns and tarnishes their legacy even more.

    Sounds like a horror movie to me.....

    If only the team would throw Hue in the Lake now, and save him the trouble of waiting for 1-15. Face it guys, unless we somehow beat DA Bears, welcome to 0-16 loserville. Thanks Sashi.

    About time we do something right though - if we're gonna suck, well by all means...... suck so bad that history will forever remember us.

    I thought the story was that Williams recommended Britt to the FO. Now that we all hate Sashi, it's that he warned against him? 

    Just the opposite, this was reported by Albert Breer & Doug Dieken.

    And what I said was reported by some other guys. So?

    @hoorta said:

    Really? So they put two options on a slip of paper and picked what they were going to do out of a hat. 

    @hoorta said:

    London, all I'll say at this point is there's so much innuendo and contradictory reports, we can't really decide what the hell was going on. 

    And yet you stand strongly with the ones you've chosen. Weird.

    @hoorta said:

    Great- then who in the f**king hell was making the decisions? I'm old and bordering on Alzheimer's. Enlighten me. Congrats, you've just painted yourself into a corner. 

    Why did you ask this question twice? You may not be wrong about the memory loss. And why would I answer your question when you've asked it a half dozen times already and it's been explained just as many? You have no desire to know.

    1) Lesson #1 in a definition of process improvement: One example is NOT a process. Nor are two - or three.  You need 10 examples minimum to discern process from random variance. And that's just to determine current state before identifying specific problems and interventions.

    2) Hue's favorite plays are slow-developing long things.. exactly what you'd want a big-body WR for.

    3) I give Sashi the highest grade of any Browns GM since the rebirth in his addition of top-to-bottom athleticism and talent to the roster from the dumpster fire he was given.. while balancing that with maintaining draft picks for the future to build even higher from.

    3) If consensus can't be reached, someone has to make a decision.  But remember that we don't have definitive info on what, exactly, the "vote" was in any situation. I wouldn't read anything systemic unless it's called for.  Even if somebody starts, they don't have to receive more than 10 snaps -- PT is a coaching decision.  Why did Kasen Williams receive no PT.. he didn't suck.

    1) I have 27 examples the process wasn't working. How many more do you need?  Haslam rightly intervened. 

    2) Who (Britt) had one season that was 3 SD above the mean?

    3) Right, if it was all about athleticism Jamarcus Russell and Jeff George would be in the HOF.  Did you even notice Sashi created the dumpster fire in the first place? Got rid of almost all the vets and drafted a bucket of crap WRs? How many times has it been said here (and not just by me) you don't have to nuke the roster to rebuild. Um, Panthers? 

    Oh, I totally get it. 2018 was the year of the big splash where Sashi was finally going to get the Browns more than one win. Haslam didn't trust him to do so, and this time- I'm on Jimmy's side. 

    3B That my friend is what sent Sashi out of town. he made the final decision if consensus wasn't reached, and (in Haslam's eyes) too often it was the wrong decision. Lesson? don't send a lawyer bean counter to do a football guy's job. Haslam found out the 1-27 way.

    He didn't make the final decision. Tour's answered this question at least a half dozen times. Why did you ask it again? Do you just not like the answer?

    Yes... and you are losing... badly...

  • Moving on...

    What I really stopped in here to discuss were the shots of Dorsey in Jimmah's ear all game long. Especially in light of Mike Florio's comment in NBC's SNF pregame show

    Florio pretty much said Jimmah's comments about Hue having another year weren't worth the paper they are not written upon... that Dorsey has plenty of time to "help Haslam understand" how important it is for Dorsey to have his guy in the HC position.

    And the kicker per Florio is that it is widely believed that Dorsey already knows who his guy is... that he has one name in mind.

    I will cry no tears if that happens.   And I won't at all hold it against Jimmy if he doesn't keep his word about keeping Hue on.

    But I am curious of course about who Dorsey would bring in, if he had that chance.

    Any speculation on that name?  Of course, the place to look is the "Tree".  Since Dorsey is a part of the Bill Walsh tree....we can look there. Start with former HCs:

    Mike Smith

    Marty Morningwheg

    Jon Gruden

    Raheem Morris

    Spagnuolo

    Leslie Frazier

    Jim Schwartz

    Tom Cable

    Scott Linehan

    Mike Singletary

    Mike Nolan

    Rex Ryan

    Brian Billick

    Jim Zorn

    Continuity for it's own sake isn't good if it's not working. 1-15 looking at 0-16. That's enough to get any HC fired. 

    Any thoughts about why Jimmah decided Sashi was the main reason the Browns are 1-28 going on 1-31?

    PS- Kizer actually looked like an NFL QB yesterday, until he did a Weeden whoopsie in OT.

    And maybe War. 🙄 Gee maybe I'm under the mistaken impression (and a bunch of other guys) Sashi had final control of the roster? 

  • Sashi's last 2 drafts: 24 picks, 20 will be multi-year NFL contributors.. Whether that's analytics or throwing darts at a board, it's better than most [all?] other GM's in the same time or same # of draft selections.  And 1 extra 1 / 2 extra 2 in the 2018 draft.  He'll get another GM job and if he's given the reins, he'll make a team that wins longer than the current Browns -- because..

    Dorsey's hit rate on players and trade-down rate to acquire extra picks is nowhere near Sashi's.

    But hey, a new GM changes everything.. especially Hue Jackson's clock management and playcalling!

    You do realize Dorsey was fired for poor cap management at KC, right? Right?

    You’re just whining because your boy got fired. Sure they were multi-year contributors, because children of the corn style cuts occurred and there was no one left on the roster. Literally a kid off the street could of gotten signed off the practice squad. Those metrics obviously didn’t = results and that’s part of the large reason we’re 1-28. A combination of Hue, Sashi, and ultimately Jimmy’s inefficiency.

    I got that impression also.  Haslam didn't look happy, and Dorsey was talking to him constantly.   I doubt Hue will be around in January.

    Thing is Sashi traded down at a rate that was unprecedented in the NFL. He paid the price for valuing picks over a potential franchise qb staring him in the face. 20 will be multi year contributors? Sorry if I think your math is way off. I see 5 picks from 2016 alone that I'll bet won't even be on the roster next year. One is already gone, but so what there- probably only 10% of 7th round picks stick. Probably a couple more from 2017. Andddd... It's easy to have those draft picks on the roster, when you essentially nuke the roster of veterans. 

    BTW, I'll wait for the "consensus" and "we have a process in place" guys explain why if it was all going so great- Haslam decided Sashi was the primary reason for lack of progress. I'm not buying the he got impatient again schtick. 

    I'm willing to give Dorsey a chance (like any of us have a choice).

    PS- Kizer actually looked like an NFL QB yesterday, until he did a Weeden whoopsie in OT.

    First... How dare you besmirch Wheezy's legacy! Kizer's pass was nowhere near Wheezy worthy. Wheezy did not need assists from Defenders to make a throw like that.

    Second... of course Jimmah's impatience played a role. It is his shtick... but it was fed by others this time.

    Hue got Jimmah's ear. We know that from the McCarron gambit, which you and other Sashi detractors laud him for scuttling. I think that was the opening that led to Sashi's downfall. That opened Jimmah to more "input" from Hue on where the responsibility for the record lay.

    Add in the culmination of the "Football Guy Search" (which undoubtedly included dinners with Dorsey and likely included more "it did not have to be this bad" whimsy) and top that with Sashi's reluctance to accept Dorsey in a process-destroying role.

    Third... remember "the approach" (not to be confused with the process), which included picking up draft picks via the loss of veterans thru FA, was agreed to by Jimmah.
