"Que Sera Sera, Let's Enjoy the Ride" , A Fans reaction to Mike Holmgren leaving the Browns

A Fans reaction to Mike Holmgren possibly leaving Cleveland

The news is not a surprise, although in my opinion is not welcome news.  "The Trey" (Jimmy Haslem III) has the right to create the management team and anything else related to the Browns once he puts his money up, which clearly he will do in October.  I am hoping with all my heart he learns to LOVE OUR BROWNS as much as we all do...time will tell!

I thought Mike Holmgren brought a level of maturity and stability that we were sorely lacking.  That is not to say, I think that mistakes were not made but honestly everybody makes mistakes.  It is more important how you recover and what lessons were learned as a result of the mistakes.  I wish Mike all the best and thank him for his efforts.

I need to learn more about Joe Banner.  The web stuff I've seen from the Philly area is; That he has no personality and in general, is a grump.  I hope that initial info is wrong.

What the Browns need most of all, and what I saw attributed to "The Trey" is that the Browns need consistency...they need to stop changing Head Coaches and the Front Office personnel every two to three years.  All the successful teams have stability in the Coaching position and in the Front Office.  I say, you only get one chance to make a first impression and by god I hope "The Trey" clearly states his vision for OUR BROWNS and gets everybody on the same page and then we move forward as a team and a community focused on winning and supporting OUR BROWNS!!  If "The TREY" wants a clean sweep... then lets have the sweep quickly and let's move on with everyone on the same page!!!
