Ayjent Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 33 minutes ago, Seasons1992 said: Haslam is a crook, and Snyder is just dumb. So the answer is YES. Snyder made his money through highly questionable means, alienated one of the strongest fan bases in the sport, and is just generally not a good person that looks to exploit everything he can. I'd say Snyder because of the damage he has caused. https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/sports/article/21066973/happy-20th-anniversary-dan-snyder-washington-fans-are-not-cheering Haslam just bought a franchise that wasn't doing much well and has done worse than his predecessors. But both are pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 What a total mess the Browns are under Haslam. Poor Cleveland fans... They need to pick a damn plan already and just stick to it. You'd think they would know by now that constant turnover at HC and GM doesn’t work. The owner needs to set a course and actually stick to it. He keeps letting different people get in his ear and change his mind every year or two. If he wants to follow Depodesta’s plan, then put him in power and give him a chance to execute his vision. I don’t know how well it will be received in NFL circles. But it’s better than letting him sabotage whoever is hired next... I thought the browns had finally found some stability when they hired Dorsey and he brought in some top level front office talent. But, nope. Here we are what, 2 years later (after Hue was forced on Dorsey the 1st year iirc). How can someone be so good at running one business that they make billions at it, and so utterly incompetent at running another business? I know the NFL is not a typical business, but name me any company that could survive, let alone thrive, if they just continually fired everyone every year or two and changed their vision+plans. At some point you need some continuity if you ever want to build anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Crazy how much the Haslam’s changed their thinking in just a few short weeks. Just 3 weeks ago it was reported that they wanted to stick with Freddy Kitchens for at least another year. That they knew there’d be growing pains with a rookie HC and that a 7-9 record was considered a very realistic and acceptable possibility (by the owners, GM etc) at the start of the season. And 3 games later, now they’ve completely cleaned house. Not just the coach, but the GM as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal. Brutal? Yes indeed it is. Dorsey apparently threw Kitchens under the bus yesterday, and today he himself got stomped. I'm trying to think of a rational person who would stake their professional reputation on running that organization, and I'm yet to come up with a single name. DePodesta should wear armor on his backside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 They should of stuck with the Sashi Brown, DePodesta plan to start with. They would still have a lot of talent on their roster, minus the drama queens they have at wideout. They would still have a top ten pick at the QB position two years ago, and they would have had McDermott as head coach. The owner needs to start seeing things through. Something DePodesta told him early on in the money ball plan they originally had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
