Interesting how the Browns players graded their Coaches last season.

Kevin Stefanski C-. Lowest graded head coach in the NFL by his players. 32 out of 32. Not to be out done Bubba Ventrone graded a D. Offensive Coordinator Tommy Reese a D+ graded just slightly better than Bubba. Defensive Coordinator Jim Schwartz A- no surprise he graded out the best of all Browns. Owner Jimmy Haslam and General Manager Andrew Berry both graded out as a C by the players. Interesting. Seems like the players might have come to same conclusion as FO. 3 Lowest graded coaches all fired. Stefanski, Ventrone, and Reese.

For those round here who keep insisting they wish the Browns ownership was as good AS Pittsburghs.

That was a surprise to me.

As was Berry getting a C while KS was a C- ... Stefanski getting a C- really does say a lot in my opinion.

On the one hand players are closer to this than anyone - so their opinions are valid and perhaps shine a light on things we as fans can only normally speculate on. On the other hand, a bit like fans opinions, I am sure winning cures a lot of issues when it comes to Coach/GM/Ownership.

When I get a moment, I'm going to look up the report cards from the last couple years. I find I'm far more interested in how the scores move year-over-year than the scores themselves.

Say what you want about Jimmy, but he's not scared of putting money in the team's infrastructure. They've kicked off a lot in the way of renovations to Berea over the past few years, and I expect the new stadium to lift some of those remaining lagging scores as well.

People have their own opinions about Jimmy Haslam but I said it before that I think he’s a good owner. He may have made mistakes but he’s truly trying to bring a winning team here. He’s been willing to spend money to do so and I agree that the new stadium will help those scores. I hope the latest moves are the beginnings of a successful new era that will make us a winner.
