Me too.  Isn't everyone?  Who is the guy that isn't?</p>

<p>Yet, it seems when I said this about the Chud hiring and the moves that occurred during the Chud regime, people were all for "starting over again".  Were people not tired of it during Chud, but they are now that he's fired?  Personally, I've been tired of it for awhile now.  The only difference now is that the Browns wasted YET ANOTHER year with a bad hire and staff/roster purging. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/28058/the-last-straw</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 11:57:03 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/28058.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jan 2014 21:33:26 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to The Last Straw? on Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:45:57 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/thaak" aria-label="Profile: thaak">@<bdi>thaak</bdi></a> <a href="/post/376543">said</a>:</p><div>

<p>I think most people (myself included) were just happy that Shurmur got the boot.  I also believe there were a lot of us who thought Haslem wasn't lying when he touted the importance of stability at the HC position.  Chud didn't have a good first year by any stretch, but he was a first year coach who faced a lot of adversity.  I would assume that a lot of us expected chud to improve considerably in his second year, but now we will never know exactly how much he learned from the shitstorm that was the 2013 season.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/376373</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/376373</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[RoyceRolls]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jan 2014 00:13:09 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to The Last Straw? on Thu, 02 Jan 2014 22:21:50 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Some things never change.</p>
