Ray Farmer: You need to see Ray Farmer, and bring your playbook.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Fired by the Browns per the NFL app.

[threebag]

Deja vu?

[Eleazar]

Farmer to be reunited with Bowe after he accepts assistant manager position at Cleveland area Sonic

[MMXcalibur]

That Bowe signing was grounds for dismissal from Day One.

[Coochie liquor]

Coach gone next.... Again

[FloridaMan88]

No truth to the rumor Farmer got the news by text message during the game today.

[thabear04]

Ray Farmer You cant make a chicken salad out of chicken Shit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[scho63]

How much do you think Bowe kicked back to Farmer for that sweetheart deal???

[eDave]

Johnny's days are numbered.

[Mr. Laz]

Cleveland firing head coach Mike Pettine too.


Johnny foosball didn't show up for concussion test etc today. Team couldn't find him.


Doing his best to get cut.

He's in Vegas. Hard Rock. At least he was the other day.

[GloucesterChief]

Cleveland is such a circus. The NFL should take over that franchise.

[TimBone]

Browns are so fucking stupid. Every other year, they fire everyone. Wash, rinse, repeat.

It's not who they fire, it's who they hire.

[TimBone]

It's not who they fire, it's who they hire.
Yeah...but God damn, man. Whose gonna want that job? There's no chance for consistency.

[GloucesterChief]

It's not who they fire, it's who they hire.

They were playing well under Chud and then promptly fired him. Haslem and that whole franchise is a joke.

[Coochie liquor]

From nfl.com

Sadly, stories like these are the genesis behind yet another Browns hiring cycle. Pettine replaced one-year head coach Rob Chudzinski who replaced two-year head coach Pat Shurmur. Shurmur replaced two-year head coach Eric Mangini.

Cleveland has not had a coach finish his tenure with a winning record since Marty Schottenheimer back in 1988. They have not had a candidate last more than 65 games since Bill Belichick in 1995.

Oh. They found him. He was in Vegas last night.

[Mav]

None. Rumor is they are bringing in Ron Wolf as a consultant and Wolfs kid as the GM. The head coach? I have no idea.

Believe it or not, Haslam was not at all responsible for the chud fiasco nor do I think he had much choice when he hired pettine. To no surprise, that dumpster fire situation was started by a Parcells disciple prick

Actually, let me go on because it's too funny not to revisit. If there's a "because Chiefs" I don't even know what the fuck the term is for the Browns. It's a pretty credible rumor that the NFL forced Joe Banner on Haslam, and Banner then went out to hire Parcells crony Mike Lombardi. Lombardi pulled the usual Parcells bullshit. He fired Chud so he could go after Josh McDaniels. Haslam made the right call there. From there, he created his own mess.

[Bob Dole]

Browns are so ****ing stupid. Every other year, they fire everyone. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Yet there were a shitload of phuqtards on here crying for Reid and Dorsey's heads after 4 weeks...

[RealSNR]

It's not who they fire, it's who they hire.

Rob Chudzinski had the Browns feeling good for once in that franchise's miserable existence. They fired him after one year.

I hate it when nfl.com and other sports writers view the Browns history this way. These Browns are NOT the old Browns. The old Browns are the Baltimore Ravens. The old Browns moved to Baltimore, and years later, a NEW expansion franchise called the Cleveland Browns was started up.

[chiefzilla1501]

In the "you can't even make this shit up" department, did you know that since 1991 (almost 25 years), there have been only TWO YEARS where the Browns didn't have a GM or coach who wasn't from the Parcells/Bellichick tree (2011-2012 - Pat Shurmur/Tom Heckert)?

Bellichick, Butch Davis, Terry Robiskie, Chris Palmer, Romeo, Mangini, Chud
GMs: Lombardi, Farmer (worked under Pioli)

Cleveland got to keep the history of the Browns though. Just like if the NBA fixed its mistake and put a team back in Seattle, it would have the Sonics history*.

*I think that agreement expired though.

you mean like the whole site pretty much?

The fact that ANYONE would buy a season ticket to this freak show is simply amazing.

I would like to meet those numbskulls!

Butch Davis never worked under Parcells or Belichick. Neither did Robiskie.

I have a lot of respect for Cleveland fans. They keep watching despite the shit show. Cincinnati is the exact opposite. The reason they chant "who dey" is because none of their fans legitimately knows any of the players on the team.

[The Franchise]

Yep....even had Norv Turner as the OC. The Browns had a damn good coaching staff and fucked it all up.

[chiefzilla1501]

Yessir. You're right. So the Browns had a Parcells/Bellichick tree guy as a GM or head coach in 20 of their last 25 seasons. Still unbelievable.

[chiefzilla1501]

Yep....even had Norv Turner as the OC. The Browns had a damn good coaching staff and ****ed it all up.

Don't forget Ray Horton at DC

Don't forget Ray Horton at DC

Some teams just bring the pain on themselves. Let's see if they complete the cycle and hire Pioli.

How much do you think it would cost to get him or what kind of a trade?

Ray Farmer made even more chicken shit out of chicken shit...
