Jody Allen needs to take control of this team.

Implode this team and enjoy being the Browns for the next decade.

Having the coach of the year, a great Oline, and making it past the 1st round of the playoffs sounds pretty good at this point. I'm all for it.

Yeah, we need an owner that meddles with the team.. ffs, best owners are the ones, that sit back, watch the game and leave the operations to those that are familiar with it. I for one am happy with how the Allens have handled the team.

People have gotten so deep into the Carroll v. Wilson trench war that they don't realize they're asking for a businesswoman with even less sports background than Paul Allen had to quite literally meddle in the affairs of a premier front office that's been the class of the league for nearly 2 decades.

That's a lot crazier than the head coach meddling in his own teams offense. Like, a lot crazier.

Bill O’ Brien Anyone?

Before the Pete defenders get their panties in a bunch about the difference in record, O’Brien had total control over that team and organization the same way Carroll does. The result? EVERYONE wanted out from Hopkins, to Watson and Watt. We’re seeing the same thing unfold before our very eyes.

Bullcrap. O'Brien was hardly a .500 coach, and was part of a highly dysfunctional organization that just had its front office taken over by a friggin' preacher in a coup d'état. Not even slightly similar situations.

Remember Allen had Whitsitt bumbling stuff for a while, Holmgren and he had issues plus he was an idiot both here and in Portland.

Allen let him go off the Golden gate bridge and gave him just enough rope not to hit the water, then he replaced and fired those that could not hack it. Ruskell was the next one he let hang himself but that damage was also done. Then Mora.

Allen was not a quick hook either, he listened and weighed things before making big decisions, this came to high contracts for players as well, he wanted in on the negotiations and final say.

Jody being local knows what's going on, she knows a lot more about Football then many idiots here that think they do. Her and Paul had been going to Husky and Seahawks games many years before they were owners.

She also worked with Paul for years.

She isn't oblivious, just not a Limelighter.

Also as a more Cooperate entity they need meetings between her, Vulcan, and Pete etc. Things always move slower then when a guy like Snyder or Jones makes decisions on his own.
