Browns clean house

What in the.. Let them hire the HC, then fire them? How long before the league steps in like MLB with McCourt & the Dodgers and puts an end to this mess?

I was thinking the same thing. Although, I assume the guy they hired as GM helped to hire the coach because he was there during the process.

Fire GM and Pres and name assistant pres GM. 

 

Actually the President is still there.  Alec Scheiner.   Joe Banner was CEO and Mike Lombardi GM.

Farmer was assistant GM and was promoted to GM.  But still.....that organization is 

a train wreck.  I watched some of the press conference but was so busy laughing I missed some parts

of it!  Farmer was present during the hiring of the new HC Pettine but he stated he had no authority

in the hiring.  Both Haslam and Farmer were asked by a reporter, (can't recall the guys name) what they

thought about the "outside" perception that the Browns organization is a mess!!  Of course they both

denied that the Front Office situation wasn't a mess but a great opportunity.  There were a couple of other

points/questions brought up that were pretty funny but I can't recall exactly what they were.  I think it might 

have been something about the scouts.  Something along the lines that the new GM Farmer didn't hire any

of them but with the Combine and Free Agency being so close he'd basically be stuck with these guys for 

now.  Something along those lines.  

 

Something isn't right with that whole situation though.  Still doesn't seem to be clear if Banner was fired or

decided to step down as CEO.  The Browns website says he's stepping down in the next 2 months.  Also says

that Mike Lombardi is departing the organization so I would guess he pretty much got fired.  

 

Just recently Farmer was supposedly offered the GM job in Miami but turned it down.  Something is fishy there.

He said in the press conference today that he had no idea he would be given the GM job in Cleveland and said

he turned it down because it wasn't the right time or situation.  Something to that effect.  I find that hard to believe

that he'd turn down that job WITHOUT knowing beforehand that something was coming up in Cleveland.  

 

If it wasn't the right time or situation in Miami just a week or 2 ago, how is it the right time in Cleveland so soon?

Maybe it's just me but something doesn't jive there.

Whats your definition of regularly?

 

2 of the last 7, 3 of the last 11?

Right.....

 

 

2 of the last 4,  i like how you went back to previous QB eras to add wins to your numbers...  i like how you needed carson palmer to make those numbers work for you...

 

RIGHT........

Ha no kidding. Plus since when does "us" refer to the dalton led bengals vs the Palmer led bengals. I thought it was still the cincinnati bengals who I refer to as "us". Just goes to show the difference between go and a real fan.
