2016 NFL Coaching & GM Carousel

[Joemailman]

He did not badly in Seattle, did get them a SB bearth. Cleveland was a train wreck, but then again, so is everyone that goes there. Did he really screw it up, or did the new owner get trigger happy and not give him time to get things going in the right direction?

He's proven he's a good coach and a bad GM. He had 2 1st round picks in 2012 and took Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden.

Ray Farmer fired in Cleveland.

This. Holmgren as GM is like Kirk as an Admiral. Sometimes you need the wisdom to stay with your strengths and not get an inflated head.

Pettine just got shitcanned along with Farmer.

Maybe that would be for the best. The Wolf/Thompson train maybe has run its course or run off the tracks or whatever in Green Bay. I am about ready to consider a whole different philosophy of team building - something beyond getting lucky with a superstar QB then just letting everything else slide as the team wins moderately but does not maximize things.

I would argue that is a Thompson thing

Maybe the Browns will give Gary Andersen a call again. Or maybe not after that 2-10 debut season in Corvallis.

Plugged-in source just said to keep an eye on Chip Kelly to the Browns.

Plugged in source is an idiot. There is no way in hell Chip Kelly and his massive ego would go to Cleveland, which has been a doormat for ages.

Biggest problem in Cleveland is the owner...same as Dallas. You aren't going to win with a megalomaniac in the owner's box.

Cleveland Browns @Browns
Jimmy Haslam will address the media at 8:00pm. Live stream on http://clevelandbrowns.com .

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam could announce a restructured front office soon. Strong internal support for chief counsel Sashi Brown to be GM...

Last time a non-Browns HC was fired in the AFC North was Brian Billick on Dec. 31, 2007. Since then, Browns have fired 5 HCs, incl Pettine.

Well, its the germ of an idea:

@TomPelissero Tom Pelissero Retweeted Mary Kay Cabot
So methodical search process begins for coach and GM who want to work under attorney with analytics background.

And then it dies:

Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero 4m4 minutes ago
Haslam on Sashi Brown: "He will have the ultimate say on the roster." So the "GM" will not decide who's on the team or who the coach is.

Maybe a right triangle of power?

[Rastak]

Tomsula shitcanned by the 49ers......

From what I am told, the potential price placed by the #Saints on Sean Payton is a 2nd rounder… That's what it'll take to pry him.

I think most of those years they also started their third string QB.

Gradkowski (3) in 2008, McCoy (2) in 2010, Thaddeus Lewis (3) in 2012, Jason Campbell (3) in 2013, and Austin Davis (3) in 2015
