    That's the only way to make it out. 

    But I am not worried too much about an owner keeping his word. I don't feel like it's the first time someone guarantees a coach's job just to fire him afterwards. Anyway, it was a stupid thing to do, but I don't expect much about Jimmy's ability to handle a football team.

    Happens all the time. A certain kiss of death is the owner committing to a head coach. Hue's a goner. Dorsey doesn't seem like the type to take the GM job just to start with an albatross around his neck. Sink or swim, Hue's done here.

    I feel the same way.

      Our only honorable action is get that OC and an experienced NFL QB like Smith. Doesn't fire the coach but makes him accept help and lets him just be a coach. Maybe then he will learn how to manage a clock and someone else can manage the red zone.

        Just more proof for multiple seasons that the browns corporate organization from scouts to Haslem need to keep their opinions in office. Instead they open mouth, inserting more gasoline to a dumpster fire. Dorsey is a no nonsense football guy not shy to butt-hurt someones talent on a football field..Will it work? fans should hope so, Have we tried this approach? been a very long time if at all? Only hope Dorsey can give Hue or any coach at this point is find the best on the street QB walking the streets at FA time..Start Him & god please let this class of draftee QB's EARN their way up depth chart..Not by talent Default

          Dorsey has already publicly stated that he is here to support Hue 100%.

          Ghoolie is correct yet again. The Browns are committed now for another year of Hue. If they fire Hue now they look like back stabbers and no HC worth a damn with want to work for Haslam.

          Hue is around for another year because he has convinced Haslam that the GM was the problem. Garropolo playing as well as he has only confirms to Haslam that Hue was right all along and that Sashi screwed him in the anus numerous times. Passing on Watson, screwing up the paperwork on the QB deal mid season, balking at paying the asking price for Garappolo. Hue has pants with a zipper in the back too.

          That doesn't excuse all his bush league coaching blunders. He will be able to go to sinsinnatti like he wants.

            I don't agree on the Garoppolo part. I don't think you can blame Sashi for that: he offered the same as SF and way earlier, and I'm not sold he had a chance in the trade deadline when the Pats called SF.

              Belicheck,Brady who has same agent as Jimmy G was not going to let that happen. Protecting a good camper. Myself,Zombo & few others wanted this move to happen. Well, several were right now on Jimmy g. I was in Philly at the draft, so I heard no media trade rumors through out the draft. Tour posted we offered a 2nd.. plus?.. during draft? Do you know any details of what was offered at draft?thanks

                Prior to the season Sashi was in the drivers seat for Jimmy G, but he balked at the asking price.

                Sashi could have had him way before the trade deadlibe.

                Sashi offered a second round during draft, maybe a little more. It was a fair price for who I believe was a second rounder when he got drafted and had only 4 starts. All the analysts I read about during that time, were certain that NOBODY would or should offer more for Garoppolo. 

                As the deal hadn't gone throught during the offseason, nobody expected the Patriots to trade him in midseason, it came as a surprise to everyone in the league, and was a deal mainly handled by the Patriots, not the other way around, that's why I believe Sashi didn't make an offer in midseason because Garoppolo semt far from being in the market.

                  I think that Nero put it quite well in another thread:  It would be MOST ironic if the coach that Haslam KEEPS is the one with the worst 2 year record in history. (paraphrasing)

                    A brief hijack for a little levity.

                    A few of us played a Christmas show for a local nursing home.  We played in the area where there were more dementia and alzheimers patients.  In this 13 second clip I'm introducing our final tune.  LOL

                      Thanks Nero,as many have posted, your a keeper around here. (thinking I heard addition 4th)   MOST ironic of Browning? would be if Dorsey steps down wanting HueJax out but team captains & Haslem squash that bug...even after Dorsey’s ? on coaching assessments to Haslem...we are notorious in the ironic business

                        I think at this point we need to weigh the impact of firing another coach after 2 years (how it makes us look to other potential coaches in the future, etc) against how many games Hue “lost” for us this year.  The players seem to love the guy, and it’s not like any coach out there is going to make us an 8 win team next year.  I honestly have no idea which is the better decision.

                              Sadly to say, the only way Hue probably does go is if Haslam and Dorsey USE the door is open to go to Cinci if you wish. With a couple hands on each shoulder and 2 boots on his butt as they boot his butt out the door and save face.
