Browns To Announce Berry as GM
-
What is past is prologue.
In the words you see as a disclaimer in every investment ad- "past performance is no guarantee of future results".
Depo has said- they're still learning. Question is- has trigger finger firing Jimmy learned- even if the desired results aren't instant, will he have enough patience this time to not blow up everything again after a year or two? It was obvious to the outside media early on- Freddie was a pretty poor choice to be HC, but that generally fell on deaf ears to Browns fans. Stefansky seems to be way more intelligent. It remains to be seen how well he can coach. Or for that matter- how good the Ivy League triumvirate will be at assessing FAs and draft talent.

It’s Scut
I've watched that movie probably 100 times and it was only recently that I found out that his name was "Scut", not "Scott".
What the hell is a "Scut"?

True. Apparently his role was played using his nickname.
Scott "Scut" Farkus is the main antagonist of the 1983 classic family film A Christmas Story. He is the neighborhood bully who picks on Ralphie Parker, his friends Flick and Schwartz and Ralphie's brother Randy. Scut also has a right-hand man named Grover Dill.

I'm all on board with this hire. He is considered one of the best up and comers in the front office. He has experience working for the Colts with Polian (old school), Sashi (analytics), and Roseman (blend) over his short career in the front office. I think he has now seen how a front office can be run from multiple angles and he is going to adapt. IMOP, he is a great blend of what we need in that front office as he has worked everything from a scout to college and pro personnel, to contracts and business management. I think he is going to empower guys like Wolf and Hightower to do what they are good at which is scouting and the analytics people to do what they do best. I know people are going to crush him about the Sashi era (I hope he gets asked about it in the press conference) but he can only learn from that situation and become better.
This is an epic joke.. LOL... The Browns love losing and want to ensure losing.. its a losing business model that is making Haslam money..

And to my great satisfaction, I noticed Berry is left handed- like a disproportionate number of geniuses are. Graduating with a Masters degree from Harvard at 21 probably qualifies.
(If you're left handed like me, it's the first thing you notice) Add in Bill Gates, Oprah, Leonardo DaVinci, Michelangelo, Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, and plenty of others.

Ok, i can head off to work now?

... ?️
posted the same back than & am posting the same again with Berry back..
Sashi, like Depo could not white board a football play nor Zone Blocking scheme on a white board if they were asked..they both may shop a Good Feet store, but neither could tell ya what a NFL dancing bear even looks like..?
stripped a roster down to studs with barely any true NFL level scouting staff to build it back, But Andrew Berry.. (SparQ scores seemed to oversee true game scouting)..than Sash also found out, adding any vet'd FA's came with a over priced, Cleveland price tag (not all on Sashi either, but maybe Haslam needed a analynic report card too)
At some point, Berry thought bringing in Grigson, a former Colts GM that traded for Trent Richardson was a good idea...
If this plan includes gathering all scouting reports from wolfe's & highsmith's scouting staff, than turning them loose after Combine or draft? Were simpleton Fuucck'd again.. much worse than Dorsey tossing Depo's anal papers into the trash..?
Am Staying tuned, cause I do like the possible
a) Coaching Staff Kevin is seeming to put together "on Paper"
b) Not much in brash player, ego tweets like we have done anything after losing to the Bengals..
A Smarter, quieter team ego maybe off to it's best start? and That may have started with the hiring of Kevin Stefanski?

Found on youtube. Good things to say about OL coach hire.?

Not sure what you are basing this upon...
Which pick or picks were his?
You're going to ride that pony into the sunset for the rest of your life, aren't you?
Sashi was to blame for nothing... Berry was to blame for nothing... DePodesta was to blame for nothing...
But when something actually went right in those two years, Tour can hand out platitudes to Sashi like a Kentucky outgoing governor handing out pardons...

Gettin' real old, Dutch... here's some advice you'd benefit from: First seek to understand, then seek to be understood.
I asked a legitimate question since in a true consensus process it is impossible to place credit or blame for any single pick. But since you saw fit to interject, perhaps you have a selection or two who are attributable directly to Berry to offer.

Could wait that long, I guess.
The @Browns have decided to officially part ways with assistant GM Elliot Wolf and VP/personnel Alonzo Highsmith now that Andrew Berry has been hired as GM, per sources

I'm somewhere in the middle on this Dutch. There's plenty of blame to spread around for 1-31, but mighty hard to pin it on just one or a group of individuals. The super top secret nuke of the roster. Well Sashi is no longer around to put the blame on this time. We do have one given the the Hubatross sure was a contributing factor.
Beyond that Depodesta and Haslam are the only constants. For sure, should the Browns continue to suck Depodesta is gonzo. I'm willing to at least give Berry a chance until proven otherwise. I doubt if he had a major hand in the previous train wreck Haslam would have rehired him.
I'll agree with Canton Mike that there's no sense rehashing past failures, or saying this is going to be a big FAIL before we've ever played a game this year. Yeah- I know the boo-birds already have the guns locked and loaded to take pot shots at Stefansky the first time things don't go well.

Disagree on Depo because Jimmah will be in the position to know who has contributed what to whatever success or failure we experience.
On Berry... have to first remember that he was not part of the 2018 housecleaning. He left in 2019. So he was already seen as above the fray that led to Sashi's ousting. That said...
More and more I think this 2020 edition of the Browns' FO is squarely on Berry. I think he is going to in fact be the "decider GM in chief" many here falsely believe Sashi was.
Gone is the consensus process... welcome to the age of collaboration.

Doesnt matter... They will still suck...

Nice to see Jimmah hired the 6th GM under his command....what possibly could go wrong?
I expect Elliot Wolf will soon be preparing his PowerPoint presentation, as to why he wants out of Cleveland.

I guess that leaves an opening for Ray Farmer.
