I’m pretty sure Stefanski will get every bit of the blame.

The one person we know will not get the blame is Haslam.  He's likely to walk into that room, fire everybody, and announce everybody in the room is an idiot......except himself, of course.

I don't understand how anyone could stake their coaching future at organization. It's a disaster.

And yet coaching that disaster for even a single year will net you more earned income than the average person makes over a lifetime. Yes they are still the Browns, but would you coach them for whatever Stefanski is going to make this year?

I think the damage to your reputation around the league is probably minimal. My guess would be other teams give you a pass cause, it’s the Browns.

the front office expects the head coach to “turn in game plans to the owner and analytics department by Friday, and to attend an end-of-week analytics meeting to discuss their plan.”
 

Holy Poo. What the hell is Haslam going to do with his game plan? Mark it up with a red pen?

This guy is a control freak and will never get this right. The Browns are doomed.

Fans should boycott until the league forces a sale.

Good grief. By Friday, installation is done and you've had Wednesday, Thursday and Friday practice. You can't make any big changes on Saturday. Someone needs to tell DePodesta this aint baseball.

I have a co-worker who is from Ohio and a lifelong Browns fan.  He told his young son..."please pick another team."

I am not superstitious. I believe in science. But if you wanted to convince me that curses are real, the city of Cleveland might be your best argument.

I'm inspired by his example of loving fatherhood.

My experience is that it usually takes a group to screw things up this badly.

that whole situation....

I hear Kevin Costner is available for GM.

[LinvilleGorge]

A head coach contract is a golden parachute though and honestly I'm not even sure if it damages your resume to fail in Cleveland. It's 100% expected.

Can you not fit this in to any of the other stefanski hired, or NFL news threads?

They should make a sequel to draft day where we see what an absolute dumpster fire the organization is and all the hope that was felt at the end of the first movie is just repeatedly stamped out.
