发帖数: 1009 | 1 The offseason shake-up continues in Cleveland.
The Browns on Tuesday announced that CEO Joe Banner and general manager
Michael Lombardi are leaving the organization.
Ray Farmer, who toiled under Lombardi, has been promoted to general manager
effective immediately. Banner, set to exit over the next two months, called
the transition "bittersweet" in a statement released by the Browns on
Tuesday.
In the statement, team owner Jimmy Haslam thanked Banner and Lombardi for
their services before quickly shifting the spotlight to his new hand-picked
GM, saying that "we're fortunate" to have Farmer, who "embraces his
partnership with (coach) Mike Pettine."
Add it all up, and Tuesday's events are a crystal-clear indication that
Haslam was fully tired of a Banner-led front office that surfaced as the
butt of jokes after firing coach Rob Chudzinski following just one season on
the job.
Cleveland's front office -- seen around the league as a top-heavy, confusing
mass -- has been streamlined. The timing is surprising, perhaps, in that
Banner and Lombardi were given input in the hiring of Pettine, but that
elongated recruiting process had Haslam's fingerprints all over it from the
start.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport also reported Tuesday that firing Lombardi
was not a new thought. Had they hired Denver Broncos offensive coordinator
Adam Gase, the Browns wanted to pair him with Seattle Seahawks executive
Scot McCloughan, according to a source informed of the team's thinking.
Haslam and the organization invariably will be ripped for another waterfall
of deep-cutting changes, but one of the NFL's more dysfunctional milieus has
been pared down considerably.
The big winner here might be Pettine. The black cloud hanging over his young
tenure as coach was a sense that he wouldn't wield any say over his own
roster. Instead of dealing with layers of front-office men, Pettine will now
work hand-in-hand with Farmer to rebuild a Browns team that hasn't won a
playoff game since New Year's Day 1995. | B*******e
