He can have an office and a phone extension! ...ironically when Chuckie went to Oakland, rumors were abound that Bruce Allen would join him (remember their TB days).....so Brandon called Boy Danny Snyder to throw his hat "into the ring" if that happened, which it did not.....last I heard, Brandon was "networking" BUT "not working "(think Pegs has some Bflo influence?...naw).....so maybe he has Boy Danny on speed dial...... 1

BillsFan4 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 What a total mess the Browns are under Haslam. Poor Cleveland fans... They need to pick a damn plan already and just stick to it. You'd think they would know by now that constant turnover at HC and GM doesn’t work. The owner needs to set a course and actually stick to it. He keeps letting different people get in his ear and change his mind every year or two. If he wants to follow Depodesta’s plan, then put him in power and give him a chance to execute his vision. I don’t know how well it will be received in NFL circles. But it’s better than letting him sabotage whoever is hired next... I thought the browns had finally found some stability when they hired Dorsey and he brought in some top level front office talent. But, nope. Here we are what, 2 years later (after Hue was forced on Dorsey the 1st year iirc). How can someone be so good at running one business that they make billions at it, and so utterly incompetent at running another business? I know the NFL is not a typical business, but name me any company that could survive, let alone thrive, if they just continually fired everyone every year or two and changed their vision+plans. At some point you need some continuity if you ever want to build anything...

I like the idea of using more analytics in football, but not as the end all. Plus he has zero track record in football, and if not for Moneyball his actual results in MLB are debatable.

If he had Haslam listen to him three years ago it would be McD and Beane in Cleveland NOT here also if he listened to him last year it would have been one of these three McCarthey Arians Or Stefanski. he also organized the Osweiller trade that netted Chubb.

BillsFan4 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Crazy how much the Haslam’s changed their thinking in just a few short weeks. Just 3 weeks ago it was reported that they wanted to stick with Freddy Kitchens for at least another year. That they knew there’d be growing pains with a rookie HC and that a 7-9 record was considered a very realistic and acceptable possibility (by the owners, GM etc) at the start of the season. And 3 games later, now they’ve completely cleaned house. Not just the coach, but the GM as well.

Brutal. Brutal? Yes indeed it is. Dorsey apparently threw Kitchens under the bus yesterday, and today he himself got stomped. I'm trying to think of a rational person who would stake their professional reputation on running that organization, and I'm yet to come up with a single name. DePodesta should wear armor on his backside.

Jay-Z doesn’t have a chance ?

If a meddlesome owner, as this set of circumstances suggests, ignored him before, then he's not been setup to succeed. Time will tell, but then again, it's the Browns, and I have zero faith in Haslam being able to field a winner.
thenorthremembers Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 They should of stuck with the Sashi Brown, DePodesta plan to start with. They would still have a lot of talent on their roster, minus the drama queens they have at wideout. They would still have a top ten pick at the QB position two years ago, and they would have had McDermott as head coach. The owner needs to start seeing things through. Something DePodesta told him early on in the money ball plan they originally had.
