Is it a wonder no one wanted to coach the Browns? I guess the Joe Banner sideline hotline existed in Cleveland too.

According to CBSSports.com's Pat Kirwin, Banner while CEO had the offensive and defensive coordinators report to him.
A league source from the NFL Scouting Combine told Kirwin that Banner "was a bit of a control freak and structured the coaching staff so that the new coordinators would answer directly to him."
The coordinators usually report directly to the head coach.

And of course, when in Philadelphia Andy Reid (FF) had complete control over everything and Banner never meddled.

"As Kirwan wonders, it's entirely possible that Banner wanted to control what players played and when."

"If that WR catches one more TD pass, he gets a pay bonus. Get Shanahan on the Bannerphone and have him benched!"

And finally, one local note. Paul Domowitch of the Daily News passes along an interesting nugget about the 2011 draft:

"That whole draft was about need," said a personnel executive who was with the team during that draft. "We didn't have a guard on the depth chart, so we drafted a guard in the first round [Danny Watkins]. We didn't have a safety, so we pushed the safeties up a round and took Jarrett.

"We didn't say, 'OK, this isn't a good safety group, so let's pass and find a stopgap and get by.' Every team has weaknesses. But [Reid decided] that we were going to take the next safety and go from there."

Ugh...

Makes you wonder if when the BannerPhone rang

if Andy just rolled his eyes or yanked players off the field who were on the cusp of making a bonus.

Can't you just hear him screeching in that ratty, nasal voice..."Reid. Get Cole off the field NOW. If he gets another sack he'll KILL my cap space."

[Loki]

You can't HANDLE the proof!
