  • If i was Lerner I would have a clause that states if you are demoted from current job you will be reassigned.

    Maid? Lawnboy? etc. Make them earn it.

    Head or Gut?

  • its a recession. lets just blow our money shall we?

  • I welcome this move. I'd welcome it more if we know who we want as a replacement in there right away. People have to be held accountable for what's on the field each Sunday.

  • Kokinis must have done something that Lerner really didn't like. Why cut a GM 8 games into his tenure when you haven't seen how his picks are going to pan out or what he is going to do in free agency next year. Something smells bad about this one. Cutting the coach would make more logical sense at this point (not saying he should do that either). This seems like the boss coming into the office and picking someone random to yell at just so everyone knows he is still the boss. If this is a knee-jerk Lerner reaction, then we are going nowhere for a long time to come.

    Plus, now we can't make mankok jokes anymore and we are just left with Mangini-vagina jokes. Let's just hope that our new GM's last name will be Juice or Meat so can say Manjuice and Manmeat.

    I don't know how to react yet. So I hope that comment will suffice.

    Once again I will point to this thread where I not only called out Mangini as worse than Romeo but also the fact that the GM was nowhere to be found.

    This GM and coach seem very out of touch. Don't be surprised if they are both fired by seasons end.

    Mangini VS Romeo

    who the fcuk cares what you did or when you did it.

  • My guess to all of this is that Kokinis had no power and wanted out

    What we're seeing here in 2010 is precisely what happened in NE a decade ago. It worked for them then, and it wiill work for us now. Why? Because it's the only way it's ever worked in pro football. Just ask Paul Brown. Or Vince Lombardi. Or Tom Landry. .02, Clemdawg

  • The boss/owner of a company shows up to the office. He knows the office already has a bad reputation. He walks in the front door and sees that the place is a wreck, the employees are acting in a manner that embarasses/disgusts him. In short, the place is an epic fail. What choice does the owner have but to fire the guy in charge? Not just fire him, but throw his ass out of there!

    Much of the trouble with this team stems from a lack of development at the QB position. If it had been handled properly we would still be a developing team but we wouldn't be the laughing stock of the league.

  • Getting rid of Mangini's guy knocks Mangini down a peg, its pretty simple. Kokinis wasnt a real GM, Mangini was making the calls and Kokinis was just mailing in the paper work. Whenever Lerner hires a replacement, Mangini will now finally have someone to answer to, if he is around much longer.

    I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Jerome Harrison

  • It seems kind of rash to have fired Kokinis after one draft.

    What happened?

    :neutral_face:

  • One thing Lerner should consider is not giving guys extensions until they have TWO good years. The fact that they extended Savage after one good season is idiotic.

  • "Fired with cause" is the latest from PFT meaning no more money for George. He has a right to grieve with the commissioner who has final say with no right to appeal.

  • So what exactly does the President of football operations do? I find it odd they hire Bernie then fire Kokinis 2 days later. Maybe he told Bernie the plan was to play DA to save money and let the team take a dive this year? Hope we find out what really happened behind the scenes.

  • Donovan said tonight on an STO show- i forget the name- that this Kokinis firing was rumored to have been in the works for several weeks. They were hearing whispers about it for several weeks. It apparently wasn't a rash move after yesterday's game.

    Fair enough

  • LOL at the whole thread and you talk about knee jerk reactions and speculation.

    Kokinis was laying the meat to O'Brien. That's why he is gone, didn't have anything to do with the draft and Mangini didn't throw him under the bus. He was asked to resign by the team President and when he refused he was fired and excorted from the building.

    He will not be paid the remainder of his contract. He was fired using the standard of conduct clause that is basic in all contracts. Kokinis will have to take the Brown's to court to get anything or agree to a settlement with Lerner.

    Lerner had started an investigation into this situation more then a few weeks ago. His computer was confiscated to preserve emails between him and O'Brien. Lew Merletti and his men escorted Kokinis from the building. As you know O'Brien resigned last week when approached. Kokinis refused to resign.

    Remember, Lerner doesn't get involved in football matters unless he has to.

  • Bernard Kosar was a failure at his business and his marriage, plus he is a drunk. This is the person you want to be Gm?

    Bring back Sam Rigitoni.

  • I hope our defense didn't escort him out because if he tried to get back in there is no way they could tackle him.

    STFU! I'm so sick of throwing one of our heroes under the bus. It was arena football, no one can be successful at that for very long, because it sucks, and no one wants to pay money for it. News flash, 50 percent of the country is or will be divorced at some point in their attempts at marriage. There is NO proof that he is a drunk. If you talk to any sportscaster or media personality in Cleveland that actually knows the guy, they will tell you time and again that it's a combination of medication and the hits that he took while playing. This is a clear cut example of what is wrong with the Cleveland fan base, now cue the next jackass in line to continue the insistence that the Browns are only this bad because of Romeo/Savage and that the Mangenius is merely cleaning house and that all will be sunshine, rainbows, and superbowl rings by next season.
