Let's be honest here. Joe Banner has steered one shipwreck after another. He was the football authority. No one likes him. He can't draft for shit. And he fired a coach because of one disagreement over a personnel decision?
You can't operate like that. You have to be able to delegate responsibility to people that you feel can get the job done. When you start interfering and second-guessing from the CEO position, you burn any trust you have with Chud. You damage the respect players have for their coach.
These are things you don't do when you want to run a functionally sound organization. Banner is power-hungry and can never give an inch. He sabotaged his own team.
In a good organization that has principal actors who trust each other, the Trent Richardson trade would be understandable and honest communication would mitigate any kind of animosity. In an organization with a guy like Banner interfering with daily football operations, as a coach, you can't help but feel they are readying your neck for the guillotine. How do you successfully perform your job under those conditions and that level of scrutiny?
Only change needed is .500 should be .250.
And under Season Starts, a bullet point should be
- loses home opener
Hiring HC then GM worked for us!Don't get me wrong, showing Lombardi the door was absolutely the right move. However, he should have been gone BEFORE hiring a coaching staff. Now you get another lame duck situation where the gm didn't hire the coach, so he'll get to hire a new one before he gets the boot, then the next gm will want a different coach, then the next coach will want another qb. Browns cycle, aka shame circle.

In related news, I feel old.
Joe Banner is a cap guru. It's what he does. Or did. Michael Lombardi is an old-school Al Davis disciple: aggressive, outside-the-box, eager to pursue blue-chip talent. That's what he does. Or did. Haslam fired his executives for being too much like themselves.
Which might make a little sense, if he did not allow them to make a high-holy clusterhump of the coaching search first.

I haven't checked today but some of you fools need to put your information in the NFL GAF doc. I know Bionic, EZ, and FMT all have a 3DS in the least.
So any of you guys start playing Bravely Default yet? It's WAY too easy to grind so I'm insanely overpowered for where I'm at and actually everywhere I go haha
Lombardi is only a big loss to Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals fans.Why are people saying Lombardi isn't a big loss? Seems most of the shitting on him has been based on his media reputation and not what he's done with the Browns.
Today was actually a good day for the Browns.
I feel like a JFF-less future is within Cleveland's reach now.

He wasn't a disaster, but for starters he brought in Davone Bess to be a perfectly mentally healthy, reliable, productive WR.

Screw you guys. Pettine will be the NFL's next great coach, and Farmer is the next Ozzie Newsome.
Browns are gonna get Bridgewater and Kelvin Benjamin and make the playoffs next year.

Cool, added you back. Who else here is playing Bravely Default so I can add your code as well?
I added you a while back. Anyway, I'm in chapter 4 so my squad is starting to getting kinda decked out.
Thanks! Did I add you back as well? So many friend codes, hard to tell who I've added >_>
The show endedwatching that final season was one of the biggest mistakes i ever made, ruined my view on that show forever.
...ok time for me to go back and hide in my cave....PatMcManamon ‏ @ PatMcManamon3m Odd, national perception of these moves are more turmoil. Local perception is thank goodness. Opposite of move with coach. # Browns
Not gonna read and try to respond to all the posts on the last couple pages cause I'd probably go super :kas and make myself crazy.
I think this tweet pretty much sums up most peoples reactions here.
