Well, if nothing else, I find this all very interesting. Whether it changes the results on the field or not, I have no idea, but it certainly different. I think if it does change the result on the field, I think we have Billy Franzinfandel to thank. Not because he's crazy but he's the poster child of "our personnel sucks"
I think its finally sunk in that any good draft picks the browns made were of the blind squirrel finding a nut variety... but, the Manziel one goes even deeper. So, the key to Sashi and DePodesta and all the new stuff the want to add is actually using the tools (and correctly, but that's a different thing). They already paid a big pile of $ to evaluate the QB's in the '14 draft.... and what did that tell them... Draft Bridgewater (if they were gonna take a QB)... and what did they do? Listen to the hobo in the gutter.
But, depending on who their "Football" evaluators are... this seems better... and least thought out.
gotta be better than Holmgren working from home on a different coast, or Banner, Lombardi, and whoever all the other either unimaginative or lazy fucks who didn't really care we've had.
Now, the bad side is, that Jimmy Haslem is a glorified gas station owner... and I remember one of my first jobs was at a small construction company where the hay seed owner had in his brain he'd hire a bunch of "college boys" so he could sit in his office, drink coffee, complain about politics, read the paper and collect the cash. Problem was, we didn't know what the fuck we were doing. Prolly coulda done it, if we knew what the fuck it was. And I was thinking that this could go that way pretty fast till they hired Jonah... he's a pretty smart dude, and I don't think he'd have taken the job if he didn't think the idea as a whole made sense. Dunno how much difference the advanced metrics will matter in football where you don't have 6 full teams of guys to accumulate talent, and every player actually IN the league has the same injury probability as a retread reliever. But, I guess everyone has those problems regardless of how they come to the personnel decision. But, if Jimmah say he wants to improve talent acquisition, at least he's making it look like they're gonna change that part of the house.
I thought maybe this time it might be different but if they are interviewing a DB coach that is just nuts. I would think if they found someone that they liked they would hire him and call off the rest of the interviews but I am not sure what the hell they are doing.
I would also think that the HC would want to pick their coordinators. I do not think that this committee is going to dictate a coach's coordinators because as they tried to do that it is going to be very difficult for them to find a HC.. I also do not think it is a good idea to keep on interviewing if you find a guy that you are like..
