Mind Character Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Sad news for those of us that are hoping against hope that Jimmy won't fire Hue and the coaches so they and the FO could continue to work toward building the roster. So...on Baskin & Phelps today, Benjamin Albright said his report stating that the coaches feel as if the FO is undermining them, that Sashi and co left the office early yesterday w/o digging into trades, and that Sashi didn't know about the Jimmy G trade, CAME FROM A Browns Coach "source." Furthermore to clear his name (Albright that is), he will be redacting the names out from the email correspondence sent by the supposed Browns Coach and will publish what the coach told him. First...Albright is real d*** for wanting to do this as anyone with any knowledge of the NFL and the Browns knows that doing just that will create a media frenzy and further negative perceptions of the Browns Coach & FO relationship such that it will serve as further cause for their firing. Any real journalist knows that you some times have to take heat while reporting things but you always protect your sources...that also includes not putting out their emails. Names redacted or not it's tantamount to exposing your source. It's really stupid and shows that Albright is too sensitive and doesn't care that the coaches will be fired. It would be written proof of the Browns coaches bad mouthing the front office, calling out their work habits, and lead to a lasting wedge between the two parties that would be a irrevocable source of disunity. The only way the Coaches and FO keep their jobs at this point (which is not plausible even before all this given what we know of the Haslams) is that they prove they can work well together but that they just need one more year to get everything together. Side note: whoever this supposed coach is that emailed Albright these details...is a complete idiot and guaranteed himself and the other coaches won't have a job. If you want to leak info to the press/media, do it by phone as to not leave a paper trail that can be used against you... ----------------------- Here's the interview http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2017/10/31/allbright-browns-coaching-staff-believes-theyll-be-fired-assesses-aj-mccarron-2018-qb-class/ Here's the report http://www.wkyc.com/sports/nfl/browns/report-cleveland-browns-coaching-staff-upset-with-front-office-over-not-acquiring-jimmy-garoppolo/487527221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztec Hammer Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Cut these nerds and give Manning complete control. The man has forgotten more about football than all of them combined could ever dream of knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? I'm sure he can identify what makes a great player and a crap player at every position, not just QB. I'd be almost completely confident that he'd be better than the clueless crew we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the above. The only way I would want to even consider Manning as an exec is if he brings Jim Harbaugh with him and doesn't have complete control. As a coach, again no thanks, he has a reputation as being very selfish in the QB room during his playing days and not being willing to help youngsters. I could see that character flaw carrying over to coaching and him sucking in that role as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Johnson Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Regardless if this is it there is too much incompetence on the football field to avoid a irreparable divide within our staff that will make a firing or a total overhaul inevitable.

I don't see the relevance. The same sort of thing could've been said about John Elway and John Lynch. Elway has presided over a very strong and successful Broncos team and Lynch with no experience has turned a couple of picks into Solomon Thomas and Reuben Foster whilst adding a potential franchise QB that we were clearly unable to for relative peanuts. What I am sure of is that Manning knows a thousand times more about what it takes to make a good football team than Sashi Brown and Baseball Paul.

Kiwibrown Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Lynch is as good as Sachi taken a bad to to 0 wins, Elwya like Peyton is a HOF QB. but he has front office experience before being given the keys to the Broncos. Peyton has none. He might become a great exec but I wouldn't put him in charge to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sashi apparently agreed to a deal for his guy and seemingly fell asleep at the deadline. It's crap like that which makes them a laughingstock and makes me want them gone. You either wanted McCarron or you didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NudeTayne Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Do we actually know with confidence that Sashi forgot to call McCarron in before the deadline, or is this just a rumor by MKC or something? I really don't want to believe that's the case--sounds unlikely...but...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt27j Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The only person in the building truly wanting AJ, Goff, Watson, JG is Hue. When he is the face of the franchise he's going to wants the QB to share that platform. Problem is that this is the Browns not the Hue's. The FO and Greg actually realize what it takes to win in this division. Run defense, a run offense, and a Qb big enough to survive 6 beatings a year. Hue got the job because he talked up the run game and came from Cinci's power offense. I have not once seen the double pull which is one of Cinci's bread n butter plays. This is despite the power we have on the right side OL. Pass oriented in the red zone instead of using the run and play action. Excessive pre snap motions giving QB less time to read field. Questionable game management. Not going to get into it much because I still do have faith that Hue can turn it around if he delivers the power game he talked up. If he's just going to pout about not getting the QB he wants instead of adjusting his scheme then I say make Greg the HC and you know he will deliver an offense with attitude.
