I mean, I did. I truly honestly did.
Wow was I wrong.

ParticipantDee Haslam is part Owner. That was done for legal reasons so that dynamic was already in place.
Brown and Schriner are on the same level from what I read.
A GM and HC reporting to someone directly under the Owner isn’t a new thing in the NFL.
Personally I am reserving comment till I see who they get and how it is finally organized.

ParticipantJUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT COULDN’T GET WORSE…..
Jimmy comes off as an eccentric owner that cares only about making money
I just want to follow up with this thought process. Obviously, Haslem owns this team and he should always be the decision maker. However, he should never have to make decision in day to day operations. This is why you hire personal and appropriate people to run you business.
Jimmy said on air yesterday that this has been a real tough learning curve for him and his people. I imagine his people are the investors in the organization. They are also dictating what is going on here too guys.
So here is a thought that I just want everyone to think about. We never heard of this guy Sashi until yesterday right? So what if Sashi is one of the investors from the investment group that helped Haslem buy the team. Maybe this investment group thinks he is doing pretty shitty and they have an out or some sort of details in their contract that doesn’t give Haslem full control? For all we know, he is just the puppet who is guaranteed money if he turns the organization profitable if they aren’t already.
The thing is, I think this is just a big show. It is the same old one trick pony the browns pull every few years – change out management, change out responsibility, and try to get fans excited – this time though I really think just by the response on this forum and the OBR that fans think this is a garbage move and they will just distance themselves more and more.
College football viewings were down this year. I have to believe the NFL is also down with the lack of exciting QB’s and all the injuries. I know in my house, I have watched about half of NFL that I used to watch. I rarely watched NFL thursday after week 4. I almost never watched the 4pm game unless it was the browns.
Hue Jackson is a loser.

KeymasterI knew it could get worse. At no point did I ever think it couldn’t get worse. The Browns have an amazing ability to devise creative ways to be worse.

ParticipantI recall catching repeated verbal beat downs for being pissed when Haslam was given the team.

It happens…..then people bite their tongues….
I was hoping he would bring in some new leadership and start a new tradition. But it looks like the same old team.
Are we worst than Shurmur / Holmgran era? IDK.
Hue Jackson is a loser.

ParticipantDee Haslam is part Owner. That was done for legal reasons so that dynamic was already in place.
Jimmy Haslam and Dee Haslam do not combine for 100% ownership of the Browns. She has zero to do with the dynamic. If it were a full owner decision than all shareholders would have a say. Try again kid.
Brown and Schriner are on the same level from what I read.
A GM and HC reporting to someone directly under the Owner isn’t a new thing in the NFL.
Personally I am reserving comment till I see who they get and how it is finally organized.Who’s Schriner? Never heard of him, neither has the organization. Reserve all the judgment you want. This move is idiotic. No GM will come here and say “I know what I’m doing, I just don’t want any say in the 53 man roster or NFL draft.”
I’m betting Sashi was given control because he won their fantasy football league.
I’m one step away from being done with the NFL completely as clearly Jimmy The Hick is purposefully doing this to lose and get himself to be the first team in England.

Participantit’s like this soup. we can bitch about things which won’t help or wait till they finish then be critical of the final product.
Personally I am hopeful (dunno why) that they catch lightning in a bottle this time and waiting to see what they do.

ParticipantI can imagine the comments coming from Dee Haslam’s pie hole when the inner circle is reviewing film of potential draft picks and free agents. The commentary would be riveting.
Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!

KeymasterI used to dream of being a fly on the wall in Berea just to see how the team runs. Now I think actually seeing it would be like the disappointment of waking up from a great dream and realizing it wasn’t real.
