    Actually....he was more critical of the Ray Famer regime than the Sachi regime.   He said he has no clue why a team would pick someone #8 overall (Justin Gilbert) when they didn't even go to scout him...or talk to him...and learn that he was completely blase about playing football. 

    I remember Brandon Weeden going on record, maybe a year after Gilbert was drafted, saying something to the effect of "If the Browns had asked me, and they didn't, I would have told them that I would recommend them taking a hard pass on (Weeden's ex-OK State teammate) Justin Gilbert."

    Well....this just illustrates how bad a job Ray Farmer did.  He wouldn't even scout or interview a guy he drafts at @8 overall....and he wouldn't even ask a player on his own team that played with him about him.

    Dorsey says anything less than a division title next year is a disappointment.

    ok... so we have that going for us. He also said when we die... we will achieve eternal conciousness.

    Is it just me or is this a tad out of line with his assessment of roughly half the locker room?

    Very weird.

    The previous people in charge of procuring players did not get real players, but in one year the Browns will win the division title.

    Someone needs to tackle Dorsey the next time someone plants a microphone in front of his pie-hole.

    Gee whiz boys what kind of an attitude do you want the guy to take? I think every coach every assistant and every front office Jag should be disappointed with every game they lose. I think winning the division is a fine goal.

    Report: New GM John Dorsey May Recommend Browns Coaching Change At Season’s End

    By Daryl Ruiter | 92.3 The FanDecember 17, 2017 at 10:13 am

    CLEVELAND (92.3 The Fan) – Browns head coach Hue Jackson might not be on as solid of ground as owner Jimmy Haslam has proclaimed.

    CBS Sports NFL insider Jason LaCanfora reports that new general manager John Dorsey may advise Haslam to make another coaching change at season’s end.

    Dorsey, who was hired on Dec. 7 as Haslam’s fourth GM since buying the Browns in 2012, has been keeping close tabs on everything going on inside the building. Dorsey has been extremely visible – but quiet – during team meetings while observing how Jackson and his coaching staff operates.

    Haslam said that Jackson, who enters Sunday’s game 1-28 as head coach in Cleveland, would return in 2018 when it was announced Sashi Brown was fired. Haslam repeated those comments during Dorsey’s introductory press conference the following day.

    Since taking over as general manager 10 days ago, Dorsey has been critical of Brown and the state of the team’s roster, so it would stand to reason he wouldn’t be crazy about keeping a head coach that hasn’t won a football game in 2017.

    The one thing you’ve not heard Dorsey say or talk about – how well he feels the Browns are or aren’t coached.

    Because of the volatility of the franchise under the Haslams that has seen them fire 3 head coaches, 4 general managers, 2 team presidents and a CEO since assuming control of the team in late Oct. 2012, they’ve been resistant to making yet another round of changes at the coaching level but Dorsey could influence that heavily.

  • Right or wrong, I just can't see a head coach surviving a 0-16, or another 1-15 season. 1-31? 2-30?

    Just can't see it.

  • Its lacanfora, has he ever been right? He fukking hates the browns and shts on them and throws tacks into the lockerroom every chance he gets. Only mkc is worse.

  • Dorsey was 100% right

  • I think he's right. No one survives an 0-16 after a 1-15. No one.

    Yep, I just don't see how that's remotely possible. If there was a thread on predicting when or if Hue will be fired, my guess would be "Officially announced Monday morning, after the last game".
