We are about to hit the stretch run of the season and it is going to be wall to wall Buckeye football. There are a couple of other football related topics that I want to discuss with you.
I think the biggest problem the Browns have is Randy Lerner. He is making bad decisions on coaches then dumping them before they can fix what is wrong. 4 coaches in 10 years? Are you kidding me??? How are you supposed to build something when he pulls the plug before anything gets going? Look at the coaches he has hired after they left the Browns. The only one that has had any success since leaving is Davis. Palmer was next an OC, fired, then has been in several jobs as a position coach. Crennell was never more than a position coach before he became the Browns DC then head coach. He is not in football right now from what I can tell. He gets rid of Crennell and brings in a guy that wore out his welcome in three short years in Eric Mangini. It has been proven that when organizations can't turn themselves around it goes back to bad management from the top down. Lerner is making bad decisions. Everyone knows that I am a Steeler fan. My Dad was a Browns fan. My closest friends are season ticker holders. I have no hate in my heart for the Browns. I do have hate in my heart for the state of the franchise. There is nothing to build on. How many current players would you keep if it was possible to sweep the lot out? What a mess. Lerner wants to fix what is wrong? Sell the team to someone that knows what they are doing.
I am always amazed at how Buckeye fans treat Kirk Herbstreit. I looked up his bio on ESPN. I was surprised. Based on what I hear from too many Buckeye fans, I expected to s ee "Buckeye cheerleader" under his job title. I was shocked to see "College Football Analyst." Why do fans expect Herbstreit to step up and defend the program? It is not his job to defend Ohio State. It does not matter that some of the attacks on the Buckeyes are unwarranted. In particular Mark May. If every football fan on the planet said Ohio State was the best team they had ever seen, I believe Mark May would say we were overrated. It is still not Kirk Herbstreits job to take him to task in public. Not May, and not anyone else. When I argue this with rational people they come back to the fact that Herbstreit himself attacks the program. So he can't say what he thinks is wrong? Why should be not speak his mind about the state of the program. A former player, co-captain, and team MVP can't speak his mind? I don't get that. Someone explain it to me.
