I can't help but wonder what Vince Lombardi would think of the Haslam's and the "process"?

You know, the guy they named a trophy for. "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing"  kinda philosophical

Vince (probably) would of assaulted physically the front office, or left.

he didn't seem like a beta "yes man" like Hue is

He is the head man whose job it is to drive consensus. Without being the head man, he can't do that. So there's no point in demoting him.

You can lead an Ag to water...

True....but there is a point to repealing and replacing him.

So he IS the responsible guy in charge after all! And just when folks had almost convinced me that consensus meant no one is responsible.

I thought the local EPA was gonna handle distribution. 

 I bet Buffett would ask a Bernie, Hanford and Clay to put this team back together. This analytics has turned into numerology only. Jimmy and Dee should be tried for practicing witchcraft and burned at the mother effing stake!

Just my opinion tho

Someone in the organization has Angelique Collins on Speed dial....

Do we just have to go to our nearest Pilot/Flying J to collect them?

There is one in Richfield, one in Seville, one in Burbank, one in Avon, one in Austintown....and a couple more over by Youngstown.

Though...while for now the Haslam's will retain day to day control of the company....how long can that really last give that majority control of the company has been sold to Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway.

This weekend, everyone that lives within 50 miles east of the stadium is being given free nose plugs and airfreshener compliments of the haslams

What good is Sashi if he’s not the head guy? Literally his entire job description and skill set revolve around him being the head man. 

Not sure if this was your intent....but you statement is a perfectly valid reason for getting rid of him.

1. Sweet Jesus people... it's a friggin' LaCancera article...
2. Everyone goes on and on about the import of the QB position. The Rams are proof of the position's import and  how bad QB play (2016) can hold back an otherwise very, very good team... one that was and is better than we currently are. When we solve QB, so will we turn... just not as dramatically.

Well....to me it is a combination of bad QBing and bad coaching.

I personally think the coaching situation in LA is 90% of the reason for the Rams turnaround......and it has been 90% of the reasons for the Browns failures.

we've made a little progress, but still not hardly enough in the right direction. Hue is in over his head and we need an OC. Sashi needs a football guy to be in charge of him and Depo, you know, LIKE HE HAD IN JACKSONVILLE. Then we can start talking about progress and we might not lose more than any team has in history in a three year span.

And that would be where the analogy breaks off from reality. Right back to the record with no look at the progress. Should have known this wouldn’t be a serious discussion.

I might hire two managers to MANAGE my massive team of dentists and help determine the best route, yes. 

Did that go the way you thought it would?

And if after two years of those "managers" hiring some dentists that performed some of the worst dental procedures in history, you would keep them, believing in the future they might hire better dentists?

@stillmotion said:

Would you hire a lawyer and a pitcher to take your wisdom teeth out, or would you pay a dentist?

I think the dentist would do better.

Well if you hire plumbers there is less trouble flushing the whole thing down the toilet if the current W/L ratio continues next year.

I did not sleep in a holiday inn express last night but I do remember the TV guru's saying that Darnold comes from a blue collar Plummer Family..Well it's either Tool Time or Darnold puts a plunger in it for a year..Enjoy your Trip..

I was actually thinking the same thing last night...

Cancer still kills people by the thousands upon thousands every year, despite scientists and doctors working to cure cancer for generations.

By wargo's logic, he'd replace the scientists and doctors with plumbers. IT DIDN'T WORK BEFORE WITH SCIENTISTS AND DOCTORS!

For wisdom teeth? Haslam would hire a dumb waiter.

We don't. Now, I don't get how you guys have it in your head that it's a fact we'll be an amazing team and winning like crazy next year with "a football guy" making the draft picks and some bum coach off the street.

Works both ways.
