Bill Parcells is the reason the Browns have been terrible for 25 years
 

You can't make this shit up. I've posted this in other threads, but this deserves its own thread. We all know the Browns have been the most embarrassing franchise over the past 25 years. Parcells/Bellichick's tree has had either a GM or head coach in charge for 16 of the last 22 years.

Their new GM DePodesta... guess who he consulted when he first started? Bill Parcells. It's strange to me that as good of fans as Browns fans are, I almost never hear anyone in Cleveland or nationally talk about this.

Edited....

Illuminati

Your dates are wrong. Marty was there mid eighties.

2018 - Guy who happened to walk by Parcells one day outside a grocery store.

They need to fire everyone again and start over just for passing on Carson Wentz

Thanks. Fixed.

Vast right wing conspiracy.

Its gotta be the Hoodie curse.

Only in Cleveland.

The opposite. They fired scouts because they were lobbying for Wentz.

I'm not typically a "draft a QB in the first round" guy, but I really liked Wentz and would have absolutely taken him if I had the chance.

They need a COMPLETE makeover!

New Uniforms, new name of team, new owner, new stadium, new GM and a whole new outlook.

Probably new fans too!

This along with not being able to win one game should tell them that this regime is not worth a shit

You probably missed their big unveiling in 2015 when they got Browns fans hyped up about their big helmet change. Again, in the "you can't make this shit up" department:

Two things.

1. It's Paul DePodesta, not Mike DePodesta.
2. Sashi Brown is the GM, not DePodesta.

In fairness to Depodesta, he inherited this trainwreck. Every GM deserves about 3 years to figure out if he's worth a damn. But now he's set a high bar for himself that if he doesn't find a QB better than Wentz, that alone makes him a failure. And with the top pick he'll have to choose between Trubisky or Kizer... not the QB class I'd get too excited about.
