Comments on: Heckert out? Good news on defensive coordinator http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/2009/01/08/heckert-out-good-news-on-defensive-coordinator/ Musings on the world of sports Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:05:09 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Ryan http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/2009/01/08/heckert-out-good-news-on-defensive-coordinator/comment-page-1/#comment-1576 Ryan Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:23:49 +0000 http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/?p=1016#comment-1576 Oh, I guess you guys just still don't get it. Don't you see what is going on here?? To guys like Lerner and Mangini, title does not matter. Contract language does not matter. All that matters is that you have smart people with a keen intellect and a clear vision working together toward the same goal. And that's why Lerner hired Mangini. And if they get Kokinis, it will be for the same reason. The titles of coach and GM and VP of football operations are just that... titles. What matters is how these people work together to help this team WIN. Oh, I guess you guys just still don't get it. Don't you see what is going on here??

Granted, many of these were in the Modell era. Is this being overlooked? how many coaches have been fired because of their failures in the draft and having too much say in drafting.

Interesting arithmetic. This situation is absolutely ridiculous. Lerner might as well just name Mangini as the general manager, director of player personnel, and whatever other bogus title(s) they're going to give the new guy. Who the hell anywhere in the business world gets to have a prominent say in naming their very own boss? Didn't Lerner learn anything from his father? I mean, aside from how to conduct top-secret meetings on an airplane runway. Does the Beacon Journal also conduct business in this manner, Pat? I suppose this answers the burning question as to why Rich Desrosiers and Ron Ledgard have been replaced by Adriana Lima and Faith Hill as your new editors.

The rest of this article is some hack's opinion. When did opinion trump the facts. I've only been a Brown's fan for 45 years and I think I can figure out if I like the new coach on his merits. How about reporting the news and letting the fans form their own opinions. The Browns hire a new coach. The rest of this article is some hack's opinion. When did opinion trump the facts.

Just a thought.
