  • I completely agree with Terry Pluto about this whole mess. Stosh and Hue reported to the Haslam's independent of each other. Consensus not!

     Now it's Dorsey and Hue reporting to the Haslam's independent of each other. I hate it and it's pretty much doomed to fail from the start. The GM needs to be free to make his own decisions in order to put a football team with real talent together. But, what the heck, I'd do the same as Dorsey for 5 mil a year. 

     We're screwed again.

    That structure did not preclude the consensus process, so long as the man a the top bought in.

    To which Pluto column do you refer? Link?

    It was on Cleveland.com 

    There's a few columns by him there. It was his Friday article...but that's a guess. This phone isn't quite smart enough to download the link. Kinda special. It's one of Pluto's  more recent columns though.

  • Is Arians out?    Palmer retired. Did Arians go with him?

    THE LATEST

    The Bengals have signed Marvin Lewis to a new, two-year contract.

    Pete Carroll has said he will not retire.

    Broncos fire multiple assistant coaches, but offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave will return for 2018.

    Bruce Arians has told his staff he is retiring

    Arians has since held a tearful presser to confirm he is retiring.

    Lewis' new contract is the big surprise... and the death of our last hope.

    lol... no, but I would take him over Hue.

    The hope that was posted around here by a few was that Lewis would lave Cinci and then they'd come after Hue by making a trade offer.

    Looks like now Brown is willing to wait for us to fire Hue after 2018... 😉

    Tell us what? Haslam is an impatient meddlesome owner who doesn't know how to construct an NFL Front Office? Hires\fires the wrong guys? I'm not going to get into the relative merits of canning Sashi and keeping Hue.

    And I said any replacement hires would blow and therefore firing guys (what you wanted to do) wouldn’t work. Check and check for me so far.

    Exactly War- but they might have fired the wrong guy. Sashi made many mistakes though- starting with passing on Wentz- I could go on. It's why he got canned. 0-16, somebody walks the plank- that's just the way it is in the NFL. That's not to say Hueless the Clueless is absolved from blame for the current mess we find ourselves in. 

    I don't know how you can say- short of having a crystal ball that sees into the future- that Dorsey and Highsmith won't be an improvement over Sashi. I'm at least willing to give them a chance, will you?

    Easy to say whith the record. They all have been bad. But you seem to like the Winless guy best with the Winless Browns. Good luck with that.

    Hue's replacement wouldn't be any good either. It's a pontless endeavor. You have to build the team in the same system over several years.

    When Sashi gets a new GM gig, feel free to go root for that team...

    Oh... wait...

    Nope, it's as simple as finding the right guy. Happens all the time.

  • I assume that this thread is the thread to do updating on the coaching jobs in the NFL.

    It was announced today that Pat's DC Matt Patricia will become the HC of the Detroit Lions...when the Pats playoff run is done.
