The Browns Board

  • This thread's evolution is fascinating, especially considering calfox.

    It starts with him obviously faking some confusion, to make a thinly veiled joke about a woman who looks "guyish".... but then his Browns RAH-RAH homerism kicked in, and HE LOVES THIS MOVE, IT IS OBVIOUSLY BRILLIANT! 

    Of course, the usual suspects have to frantically scroll their mouse over Confederate flag mouse pad on their 12 year old PC to RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE all over this thread, because their tender, masculine sensibilities have been ruffled. 

    Tia's bitch slap of cal is the cherry on top of Tour summing up the situation nicely.

    sorry I just don’t want a freak weirdo on my team that takes male hormones. Mark my words but I guarantee that this woman eventually comes out as a female to male trans.

    Who gives two shits then?   You?   Why bother?    

    What if he/she...TF ever actually benefits this coaching staff and becomes something of an invaluable resource?     

    Call me old fashion, I tend to focus on the shit that actually matters to what the subject is at hand.

  • Holy.  Shit.   Yet another FG moment to brillaintly sum up Cal and some others in this thread.

    I’m skeptical that she was the best available option. If we win after all of this then I don’t care obviously. But it seems to me Stefanski is trying to construct a “progressive” staff instead of actually trying to assemble the best football minds available. 
     

    at least she’s unfuckable with that haircut and voice so she won’t be a locker room distraction I guess. 

  • I keep searching her name and the same picture comes up. I don't mean to be insensitive to any group, but there is no way in hell that is a female.

  • Meanwhile back at the thread...

    I'd never heard of an NFL HC having a "Chief of Staff", but then read Stef's comments about that was his role under Brad Childress. Turned out to be Stef's big career break and he swore he'd pass along the opportunity, if he ever got the chance... and now he has.

    Duties? Sounds like a communications conduit basis with a fair amount of TBD on top. Person might hear a lot more than the Staff is willing to tell "the boss"... at least initially. Then assuming the info is handled the right way by Stef, it should open up greater direct lines of communication.

    Interesting move creating the position and an interesting choice to fill it... even if she was rooting for the 'Canes...

    Thank you!  

    I think of, West Wing.

    I guess The Ghoul would call the position, Coffee Fetcher.

  • My guess is, Tiam applied for the job and lost out.

    Her book on football far exceeded his "x" and "x", and "o" and "o", which took him 45 seconds to elaborate on. He's just mad. Too bad. He'll get over it.

    Well you were always impotent in any argument you had with me so why should this be different? Haha

  • Ask Bob Haldeman what the chief of staff does

  • WTF.png

  • We could hire a diaper wearing llama and I wouldnt care as long as they help us win.  Good for this person...she could be awesome!! 

  • My concern for her in this position would be the same for any female in this position - no matter her looks, voice, haircut or sexual orientation - the respect factor.

    I didn't read all the links in the thread, but if this is a true chief of staff position then this individual is the gateway to the HC. That means not everything gets to the head coach from the staff but everything from the head coach gets to the staff, that means juggling egos on the staff, mediating, counseling both the head coach and the staff and commanding the room when needed. Does the staff need a chief? I thought that was the head coaches job.

    Here's a real world scenario the Browns faced in the last two seasons: Todd Haley, the OC with a 20 year NFL resume, and Gregg Williams, the DC with a 30 year NFL resume, could not stand each other. They got chippy in practice. They got chippy on Hard Knocks. We can only imagine the the verbal exchanges not seen once the cameras left and the losing started. The chief of staff would mediate through disagreements with those two. How would that have gone?

    According to Browns.com, I did see she was an assistant coach high in school football as late as 2017. Imagine the cynicism from this board if the Browns hired a 30 year old man that two and a half years previous was an assistant coach and algebra teacher. I remember cynicism towards Mike Pettine and he had nearly 15 years of NFL experience since leaving North Penn when the Browns hired him.

    From my standpoint, looks, hair, voice, and sexual preference do not matter. She will have the respect of ownership - they have no choice, she will have the respect of the Front Office - they will have no choice. I hope she has the respect of the staff and the locker room, or this will go nowhere.

    And, much like my opinion of the Browns' structure when it comes to the chain of command, the more layers added complicate the burden of responsibility and finding the root cause of problems.

    One caveat however. Stefanski has successfully served in that position and knows what it entails. He wanted someone to have that same function for the Browns. Given how well everything has NOT gone here, I say give it a chance. It cannot be worse than what we have had in the past, so nothing to lose and everything to gain the way the new HC wants to try it.?

    I cannot argue that.

    I'm fine with it also since Stefanski wanted it but when it comes to our owner I would rather see someone with a vision and a plan for this team for the present and the future and then stick with it and not seemingly using the throwing something against the wall and hoping it sticks approach. 

  • SF has a WR coach that's a female.  Does that make John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan stupid?  Tampa has a strength training coach that's a female that Bruce Arians brought with him.

    It's not their fault they have more testosterone than Austin Corbett.
