What is the Reality?
-
Haslam over compensated by not firing Hue at the end of last season. He had become labeled as an owner with an itchy trigger finger, after creating a revolving door situation for head coaches in Cleveland. That is something that the local and national media created, so they could slap another negative on anything Cleveland. If this had been the Modell ownership, he would have been gone by game 8 of his first season. He obviously is not HC material, and never will be. I would like to think that Hue is on a short leash, but I've stopped trying to predict the Haslams. I would think at this point, after the success they have achieved in business, they would not be so concerned with how the media perceives them. My absolute biggest concern at this moment, is that there will be a power struggle between Haley / Williams and Hue, and the Haslams will side with Hue, and fire the coordinators.

Part of what you say I believe is true, but part of it is speculation on what goes on in Haslam's mind. It may be true but then your own post kind of exposes the said speculation because you admit that predicting Haslam's mind is impossible.
I do believe Hasmam will side with Hue and the coordinators will be gone.
I don't mean this in a arrogant way but in my.carreer I have several times been in jobs that I was involved with CEO/board decisions. I was on the low end of things and was tag along, not a decision maker, but still I was in meetings the board and the top 3 or for execs in a company.
What I learned is that the general public, you and me, the fans, only see The choices of a guy like Haslam from our personal interest/point of view. In other words, we believe Haslam's life centers around football, winning, and all the things that matter to us come gameday.
However, Haslam's life, and goals are much broader than any of us can know. On one hand, it may be as we think, Hue could be on a short leash. Anothre possibility, and don't go off on me about being racist, is that Haslam and his wife have business interests that are enhanced by supporting a black HC, or it may be that the Haslam's honestly and heartily believe in broadening the racial equality in the NFL coaching system. It also could be that on a personal note they just like and believe in Hue over all this losing period.
I am not insinuation that Hue is some affirmative action coach. As I said before, this is a man of high character, and I admire him. Few.of us would have weathered the storm he has. And....with that said, it may be his character through all of this that has made Haslam believe in him even more.
All I am saying is, people who are filthy wealthy don't live in the world that we do. They have research, demographics and a much broader business plan for their empire than we can appreciate.
My defense for my thinking is not just my experience, but also reality. Here are two things for you to consider.
1) Hue Jackson is 1-31-1. Do you believe if he were unemployed that any other NFL would hire him? The answer is obvious. So then ask yourself, why is he still here? For Haslam to save ridicule of being called a quick trigger? is that better than the ridicule of sticking with 1-31-1? Sorry bro, there are things unseen to us.
2) If Tomlin or any other coach was 1-31-1 the talking heads would be cutting the guy apart daily, speculating his firing. But when they talked about coaches in the hot seat, Hue, the worst of all by record seems to be hands-off.
You don't think that is a bit weird?
This is not just about football and the Browns. There is more driving Haslam that just the Browns record and FO.

What makes you think there is any delusion at all to this? I mean, if you do not tow the line, I will send you to one of my minions: this guy:
Thanks for proving my statement, and leaving no doubt.

It was intended to be humorous....I was obviously screwing with you. Really....I believe that there could possibly be a lawyer out there somewhere who isn't delusional.
-
Your point is taken...however....this is a football forum. I do not know, or care to know the dirty little secrets of the Haslam family or their business practices outside of the Browns. Don't worry....you will have to go a hell of a lot farther for me to consider you a racist. I hope we are wrong about Haslam siding with Hue, but as I said, it's something I fear, and it wouldn't surprise me.

Have you made your Will yet? POAs? DPAHC?
You are in Lodi, I am not that far away. I could set you up!

I'm too young to think of such things. I will let you know when I'm ready. Thanks, anyway.

In other scenarios, asking someone in the internet if he has made his Will would have an entirely different meaning...

You are never too young. How old do you think you need to be? I just had to handle the estate of a cousin of mine. Died in her early 50s.
Yes, that is too young to die, but you are not too young to plan.....because you never know, and it helps your family and the cost is not that bad.
(not really trying to drum up business....I am just trying to give you some good advice)

And I personally have no clue what that meaning would be. Honestly.

I guess this is the thread for completely random shite.

It could be menacing. Like ''Have you written your Will already? Because you're gonna need it soon...'''

I guess, though, I suspect there are other, more likely threats to be made. Like: How do you like fish Luca?

& then we had a mom, dad (both in their 20s), and their 2 year old kid die in a house fire. 18 year old just graduated from HS kid killed on I-675 by a wrong way driver. That's in the last month. It happens. Pretty sure almost none of the 4,000 or so people that got killed on 9\11 weren't thinking that was going to be their last day on earth.
Of course if you have no assets, you probably don't need a will.

Hue should’ve been fired after 1-15. And keeping him after 1-31 is the DUMBEST thing I have ever seen in sports. The Haslem’s make Ted Stepien look like a genius

Again, my humor is wasted. I'm 68 years old, owner of a small business, and do not take life for granted. I've been very fortunate with my health my entire life and continue to run, work out, and stay active. Of course I have made arrangements in the event of my death. I sincerely appreciate your examples, and concerns, as I have attended too many wakes and funerals in the last few years. I don't dwell on the inevitable. My only real planning for what lurks ahead, is to be aware of my mental health and leave this place on my own terms when the time comes. I will NOT linger in a nursing home bed, staring at the ceiling for eternity. Assets?....never really obsessed with possessions. Of course I've accumulated things over the years. I've been very lucky in some ways with that also. As long as I have a couple race cars to throw money into, a few wolves to maintain,and a roof over my head...I'm good. This has lacked humor....sorry.

This is absolutely correct.. I'm also thinking about revamping my will.. I'm not worth a whole lot.. I just want to save my surviving family members the headache a persons death could cause.. He would be wise to accept your advice.. if not for anything else.. To at least educate himself in such sensitive matters...

OK, sorry. I guess I just took your words at face value. I guess I need to be more attuned to dry humor, since I use it a lot myself.
