Where is the Passion in this Organization?

I'm just not sure how much more of this season I can take. It seems that as each day passes, the situation just gets worse and worse. As Browns fans, we have experienced hard times and disappointment before, but this time is different. I can't remember a time, other than the city losing the franchise and the years without the Browns, where I felt so discouraged and disgusted. As each day passes, it seems like the Browns organization that I fell in love with as a young girl, is fading, crumbling, becoming a distant memory. I feel like the Browns Organization has forgotten what it means to be the Cleveland Browns.

The entity known as the Cleveland Browns has always been known as a strong entity, as an organization full of passion, of fighters. They have been an organization with a rich history that extends beyond the city of Cleveland. They have been an organization of hope and an organization of pride. What happened to those Cleveland Browns?

Randy Lerner, owner of the Cleveland Browns, rarely speaks in public. But today, he felt the need. He felt that the Cleveland's most recent performance was "sickening." He felt that things were so out of hand that he finally needed to step in, speak to the public. That should be a good thing, right? The owner stepping in to lay down the law? Well, it would be a good thing if that owner was passionate. It would be a good thing if the owner didn't feel that "rash moves is not in the job description."

Rash move? He really feels like firing Romeo would be a "rash move?" Really? I understand that firing a coach midseason is not an ideal move, but I wouldn't call it a rash move. Romeo has had plenty of opportunities to prove that he deserves to be a coach in the National Football Leauge. And as each week of the season withers away, he continues to show, time and time again, why hiring him as a head coach in the National Football Leauge was a poor decision. At this point, I would feel more confident with the St. Ignatius coaching staff taking over the reins, than with Romeo and crew. Seriously Randy, nobody would criticize you for making a "rash move" if you would just fire him. I know that you want to wait until January and look at everyone's strengths and weaknesses and all, but waiting until January is just showing that you have given up, that you have written this season off. Is that the attitude that you want to be attached to your team? This is the organization of the famous Kardiac Kids, an organization that historically has never gone down without a fight. Please show the fans, the city of Cleveland, and the team that you care about this organization half as much as we do. Show us that there is something worth supporting. Show us that the tradition of the Browns is still alive.

(And to you Romeo - there still is the opportunity to resign before you are fired. You know the pink slip is coming. Just think how much better it is to say you resigned from a position than to say you were fired. Think about it.)
