It's been over a decade now since the new Browns came to being. At the time the talk was that it might be worth it to go 3 yrs w/o a franchise if that's what it took to get rid of an owner. The idea was even floated here in Cincinnati. I chimed in that I'd gladly go w/o the Bengals for 3 yrs in order to get rid of the Brown family but I was not convinced that we'd be granted another franchise so I opted against it. It's Mike/Katie and Co or nothing here.
Well, I throw this out for Browns fans. In hindsight, was it worth it to get rid of Art Modell? You've had a couple different owners since but are they any better than Modell?
I've always liked the Browns for someone who has no attachment to them, but man, it's getting to the point where you start to think maybe the NFL shouldn't have bothered bringing them back...

From Rotoworld w/ Rotoworld comments:
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has pleaded for patience with the team's coaching search.
"We have purposefully been very methodical in our approach," Haslam said in a Wednesday letter to season-ticket holders. "We believe it is very important to stay disciplined to this process and to interview all of the candidates on our list. We are strongly committed to finding the right person to coach the Cleveland Browns." Haslam's letter comes after the Browns were reportedly spurned by Patriots OC Josh McDaniels and Cardinals DC Todd Bowles. The team is thought to be waiting on Broncos OC Adam Gase, though NFL.com's Mike Silver has hinted it's no sure thing Gase will bolt Denver. Of the six teams to fire their head coach, Cleveland is the only one yet to find a replacement.

"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010

Taking this much time is going to handcuff the new coach on getting his staff together.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase is “leaning toward” staying with Denver for the 2014 season.
