YoloinOhio Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 @tompelissero There will be a lot of jokes, I'm sure, but the #Browns needed an experienced scout and only so many people are willing to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Looks like his former employee, Berry, did him a solid. Grigson was a total disaster as a GM. Can't see how this helps the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see how this helps the Browns.His background was all college scouting as I recall when he came from the Eagles. Irsay hired him because he played at Purdue and he wanted someone to go out and schmooze the masses with his Indy roots. He had no knowledge of the cap and no pro scouting. In the structure he walked into in Indy, they had parted ways with Polian who was Team President when they fired Chris... and the buffer was gone between he and Irsay who is a train wreck. Grigson was ok the first year because they retained Telesco as AGM and he knew how to run everything in that FO ... Telesco "bolted" to SD the following season and Grigson was left on his own. Not pretty. And he's too arrogant to admit he didn't have it all down. That said he's a good scout. And Cleveland needs more football guys.

GunnerBill Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Doug Whaley... still waiting. Pegula.... still paying him. Doug can wait and take the right job. He will go as a VP Player Personnel or Director Pro Personnel somewhere with an established GM who is up there in age I suspect and try and carve a niche as the "in house candidate" to succeed that guy. I think that is his only chance to ever get another GM shot. Nobody is ever gonna hire Doug Whaley to be GM if they are looking outside the building in my opinion.

stuvian Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I guess this is why the Browns are the Browns. Only Matt Millen was a worse GM. On the bright side, we won't have to look far to offload our "past due date" talent that's on its way out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have to take a lower-level job and then he'll either work his way up to potential candidate again, or he won't. Can't see him getting a GM position right now, though. Not based on his current C.V. Edited May 25, 2017 by Thurman#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
