    This guy is a lawyer. I'm sure he will have nothing to do with player personnel

    Banner is CEO, so this guy would answer to Banner ... and everybody else would answer to him, I guess.

    Don't know much about him. Looks younger.

    Lawyer type.. probably more business than personnel after reading about him.

    so that means all player personnel decisions will be made by the GM (with the approval of everyone else)?

    i know haslam wants to mirror this franchise like those of jones and mara i just hope he doesn't go overboard and clean house just to do so. everyone should be evaluated on their performance from heckert to the coaching staff to the players.

    says he facilitated a lot of ownership changes and sales of teams at the bottom of that link 😕 should we be worried?

    This guy is going to have zero to do with personnel. Will have power over stadium advancement and fan relations.

    Ruining threads since 1897.

    Face it.....you need a legal eagle in the house of a billion dollar operation.

    ]

    Haslam is building his layers....a person who knows how to run a football operation. A person who knows the legal ends of a operation, and IMO soon to name the person who holds the biggest card beyond his over players., which may still be Heckert.

    Face it.....Haslam is a active owner....he's going to hold the final card. If he gets a boner over some player, guess who we draft or get in FA??

    Let me ask all of you a serious question.

    If you owned a team, would you have some say in who you draft or go after in FA???

    Oh....I know the honest answer.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    So, we have an owner that lives and dies football

    a CEO that has said multiple times wants to get in the business of buying and SELLING a football team and basically has created a terrible team in PHI that has a bunch of broken down FA

    a president that grew up a Steelers fan and isn't really a big sports fan??? WTF Scheiner has his fingerprints on almost every key off-field decision, most notably the planning, financing and construction of the team’s new stadium.

    Now with the stadium done, Scheiner is looking to broaden his role. “I have tried to transition my role a bit with the help of the Joneses and not pigeonhole myself into being just an attorney,” he said but i love being a lawyer and (eminent domain, financings, sales during a recession, etc.) to play a small part in helping make Cowboys Stadium a reality...hid dream "to be a point guard in the NBA" really really so we get a basketball guy to oversea the browns...WTF if Banner doing...i'm assuming Banner is gone in a few months

    A quarterback who said he enjoys golfing more than football

    a RB that should be in the nut cracker

    From what I've seen on the guy so far it sounds like he's more on the Marketing side - "enhancing" the Fan experience at the Stadium.

    In short, make Fans want to come and have a good time other than just the game.

    Man, some of us fans love to look for the bad in everything we do. New owner's team, new owner's methods...Period.

    i'm frankly very excited to see what haslam has in mind. i'm really hoping though with whatever Fo and coaching moves or non-moves he makes that it will not be another 5 year plan.

    that shit is getting old.

    I'm pretty sure Haslam bought the Browns organization of which future projects include stadium naming, stadium roof, uniform changes, roofed stadium events, etc.

    This guy is a very good hire as our new president..

    No objections here..

    Now on to the important issues please, the football side of things..

    I am fairly confident that both pat shurmur and tom heckert are done in cleveland and now we fans play the waiting game to see just how haslam/banner plan on moving this club forward and hopefully not backwards as the lerners had done for so many years..

    A statement of wanting to get "the best of the best" from a guy like banner whom himself has a proven track record of not being the best of the best is not real encouraging..

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

    I agree.

    I think the next hire will be telling. It's going to dictate if we have a strong coach with power or a strong GM with power, thus I think it will take a while. I think they will explore the coach aspect first so they don't eliminate those guys right off the bat by hiring a strong GM.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
