    The same guy that helped Sashi Brown bring in all of that “NFL” talent.

    To be fair, we really have no idea what this "braintrust" is going to look like. No idea who the GM will be, the head coach, if this is going to be an analytics-driven front office, a traditional "football guys" driven front office, a mix, whatever. I'd like to think that all this went down because the Haslams have the plan in order, but there's little past history that points to this.

    Most likely, they are flying by the seats of their pants once again.

    Agree, I just have full confidence the Haslams are going to screw things up...again.

    I never thought I would wish Randy Lerner still owned the team! ?

    Wow. 

    That's like trading terminal brain cancer for full-blown AIDS.

    Well, no. The plan all along was to guy the team for draft capital and they succeeded.

    Look what our football guy built.  Look at his hand selected coach.  No way in hell he was going to be the voice hiring the next coach.  I think science needs to ask Dorsey for a DNA sample.  I think they might find the missing link.

    Heard this rumor earlier today, and now we're heading that Dorsey may be out 

    Thoughts on Meyer taking BOTH roles?

    Edit: Dorsey IS out

    NFL.com reporting Dorsey was unwilling to have a reduced role, and instead said adios. 

    I guess too much pride to say I made a big boo-boo promoting Freddie, and It's gonna be totally my show, or I take my football and go home.  .

    Good point Larry!  And I got the feeling Dorsey's version of absolute power included deciding who was active and who wasn't as well as who started and who sat.  In essence, he was a remote control HC that enabled Freddie to keep calling the plays as our OC (wearing a HC Title).  That became evident when he chose Freddie's inexperience as a HC over others.  Unfortunately, we lost some assistant coaches the players bought into or at least responded well to (especially the QB Coach and the OL Coach).  We subtracted a lot of what was going right to promote Freddie to something he clearly isn't wired for. 

    Where this got really problematic at times (aside from crackpipe logic that had Baker dropping back to throw 4 times in a row following 1st and Goal at the Rams 1 yard line in spite of a RB like Chubb) was Freddie seemed most worried about what play he wanted to call next rather than paying attention to certain calls that he should be challenging.  Then, he's challenge ones we had very little chance of getting reversed.  The discipline was also a train-wreck far too frequently for comfort.

    They’re about like clones. Neither started a successful business. They’re money was given to them.
    And it’s true, lousy football teams are the product of lousy ownership.

    It's always curious to see someone get into a battle of wits unarmed. 

    Bold move, Cotton. 

  • Sure WTF,    repeat history.      Last coach to jump Ohio State  to the Cleveland Browns worked out all right....to the tune of 7 Championships. 

    Nothing else has worked.

    I would  worry about the  brain cyst, and how that would  affect Urban long term.  Sort of  surprised  he's  only 55 though.

    Unretire Ozzie,  come home. Cleveland  needs you.

    I sure hope not.  I'd much rather get Jimmy.  I actually think Harbaugh and his offense and coach style would be absolutely ideal for this team

    Hell, he can’t even beat the Buckeyes.

    The college game is different than the NFL. For example How many spread read options do you see in the NFL? It has gone up, but I bet there is as many in one college game than there is in an entire week in the NFL
