Just wondering what the reactions will be when we announce our new GM...

Meet Browns Assistant GM Catherine Raiche

Gonna have to quit my job and be here full time the first time we lose a game.

I have no idea how good she is. She might be great.

I'm just worried that when it comes to hiring time, Tepper will care more about optics than actual ability.

I mean if she’s the best candidate and ends up doing a good job, it shouldn’t matter honestly. I’ve seen some interviews with her and she’s sounds the part. 

I’m just glad Tepper was reportedly active in talking with potential GM’s at the league meetings. It at least makes me think he’ll do the right thing and start completely fresh.

I haven't researched her yet.

Plan to, though...

I'm not all doom and gloom about the upcoming hiring cycle. It's early yet, though.  My interest in this offseason will increase dramatically once I know it's a complete reset, which I think is very likely to happen.  Plus have to see what other jobs come open and what candidates will emerge from those potential firings and so forth. As for who I think this team should get? A real leader. I don't care whether the coach is pro or anti Bryce Young, none of that matters too me.  Get the best *possible* coach no matter if they are Offensive or Defensive, the rest will shake out.

I like Adam Peters and he is accustomed to working with Napoleon style owners

A lot of people do.

I just don't think we can get him.

Honestly anyone from a FO with consistent success in the draft is what I prefer. Our team used to be built similarly to the Ravens so that’s honestly a good place to look. I can’t remember the last time they full on had a terrible draft. HC is more of a crap shoot. It depends on how much control they want the HC to have and what type of offensive identity they prefer. I for one think we should be a smash mouth rushing team with a QB that compliments that rather than being asked to do it all. Jim Harbaugh comes to mind initially but there are always going to be reservations with him. Ben Johnson’s offense looks great against most teams but some defensive buzz saws have been able to brutally expose their weaknesses. There is no perfect hire but I feel some of the best from previous cycles we’ve missed out on. There’s hopefully some diamonds in the rough like a Frank Smith, Ben Johnson, or Mike Macdonald but I’m all for a new approach from Tepper his money has talked but decisions have not walked since buying the team.

Mike Tomlin on the hot seat, Panthers and Commanders interested

I swear if the Steelers fire Mike Tomlin Tepper better be at his front door with a giant blank check before the ink dries on his termination papers.

I cannot envision a scenario where they let tomlin walk.  I could see a trade to a team but I doubt they outright fire him.

I don't think it's possible this year.

Speculation is s that it might be next year though, if things don't get better.

Thoughts on Antonio Pierce if the raiders don't retain him?

I'd want a bigger sample size before going that route

If we want to go the defensive route, we already have a better coach on staff.
