That's a cop out to fit your agenda. This was widely reported as DEPO's guy. Haslam wanted JM. You dont get to re-write history. This is Depos hire. Plain and simple. Its about time he starts to OWN something of these messes.

Some positions. Correct. Head coach, general manager, offensive coordinator, quarterback. Chief strategist? No. Baseball and basketball teams have people working remotely constantly, it's not a big deal
Once again, hes not just a numbers guy. He is the leader of the your HC committee. He is the voice in Haslams ear, and the main figure of this football team right now. You can try to bury that FACT all you want - but its still a FACT. This is depo's team now. He got his HC, and he will get his GM. He is providing the candidates that are going to run the FOOTBALL OPERATIONS. making him ….dun dun dun, the person running foorball operations.

Part of systems thinking, what Paul DePodesta is an expert at
Is he really an expert at it? Because usually experts dont lose their entire career. He has lost his entire career in the NFL. I dont think that permits you to call yourself an expert. Mathematician maybe, expert.....nah.
You see, hes a giant snake oil salesman. He has brought these formulas and such to the forefront, but when the tough gets going, he can just say "hey, its just data, its not a science" even though, its technically supposed to a be science based on a mathematical data lol.
He always has an out. He is never responsible for the bad, just the good.

That is how smart people play their cards.
On a serious note, I read somewhere where you are concerned about the coach reporting to Depo. That isn't the case. All Depo does is provide the coach and GM with information that can help them do a better, or at least be more informed . He isn't going to sit there a grade the game plan every Friday afternoon.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

The thief’s stupid has no floor .... he has earned every insult he takes and has earned zero trust from anyone that’s not a blind follower ...
Not sure what Depo has done to earn your ire .... his role in this process and moving forward is all because of the thief ...
Were going way overboard on analytics but that’s not depo’s fault .... its what he does ... u think he’s gonna scale himself back ... *L* ... the thief thinks analytics is the be all end all ... Depo is a product of the thief being the thief ...
.. Analytics are " ONE " of the tools available to Teams in our modern World , nothing more or less ... You still have to be able to understand what you are seeing and implement them .. Depo may or may not be good at the football side of them .. If Haslam interjects we are screwed ..lol

That's what a lot of people just don't get.
I work for a software company. I created software that automatically tests the software my company produces. The process runs every time a new build of our software suite completes, and it generates a TON of data. It creates so much data that the QA team started to just ignore all of it because it was just too much to sort through every day.
So, I created another process that chews through all of that data and finds the things that need attention. It marks known issues while bringing new problems to the forefront so that they are readily visible.
THIS is what analytics is.
Also: Going for it on 3rd down. --- maybe a good idea? Going for it on 3rd and long -- maybe not so good Going for it on 3rd and short -- ok, this is better. Going for it on 3rd and short against a poor run defense -- this is a lot better Going for it on 3rd and 2 from 22 personnel against a poor run defense that tends to play press man and not blitz in 3rd and > 4 -- now, we're talking!
Getting situational knowledge about yourself and your opponent in real time that can be used to aid, enhance, and empower your decision making. THAT is analytics.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne
#Vikings assistant GM George Paton is, in fact, expected to interview for the vacant #Browns GM job, source said. This is significant, as he hasn’t always interviewed after receiving requests. He’s close with new coach Kevin Stefanski and works alongside GM Rick Spielman in MIN.
Wow yeah, Wade Phillips has been nothing but excellent everywhere he's been DC.
In fact just did a quick check and teams he's been DC for haven't had a losing record since 1997 when he was with the Bills. (Head Coach is a different story, but not relevant to us)
It may just be coincidence/luck, but that's a heck of a run.

I understand your mistrust. The team has been horrible, there is no disputing that. I think you are letting your mistrust cloud your judgment.
I think you are letting blind trust cloud yours.
Trust is earned. Not given.
Nothing about Depo or Haslam have earned my trust, nor should they have yours.
My thoughts exactly. I have zero trust in those two. They finally DID get it right and hired a real honest to goodness GM that did a pretty good job of bringing us some talent and he's out after TWO years? Brilliant. That was a genius move.
This team has been the worst team in the league since Haslam bought it. So all of a sudden I'm supposed to trust the guy? After firing the best GM we have had since the return? I don't think so. If he wants to get a smidgen of trust he should hire Eliot Wolf as GM giving him full control of the roster and keep as many of our front office people in place as possible. Send Depo packing and let FOOTBALL people run this thing.
We keep hearing about how Hue and Haley were let go because of infighting and refusing to to work and play well with each other, as well they should have been. Hue would not play the players Dorsey brought in, except for Taylor, but would not even allow Mayfield to work with the starters, which put Hue and Haley at each other's throats. When Dorsey fired Hue, he fired Haley, and cited expectations, and record. Everyone thought that was great .. Dorsey handling infighting. However when the owner handles infighting due to expectations and record .. he is called names and it is said he does not know what he is doing. We have heard nothing from Dorsey saying it was not a mutual parting, or citing what the mutual parting was about. Why don't we all sit back and see how this goes, after all, there is nothing we can do about it anyway.
The Cleveland Browns - WE KNOW QUARTERBACKS ( Look at how many we've had ... )

Why would Hue have Baker playing with the starters if he's NOT the starting QB?
