If something indeed is going to happen with him, this is a pretty bad look for the organization. Has been a good employee for 17 years. Multiple Reports of ouster out before he’s told? Not good. https://t.co/2Ej8j4q7bR

On the status of Eric Schaffer, that was said to be a key issue entering Monday's meeting between Ron Rivera and Daniel Snyder. Schaffer was slated to have a major role but Rivera had to feel comfortable with that. He and Schaffer did not know one another.

Furthermore, this heightens the need for Dan Snyder to answer questions.

Most owners do a year end press conference and would certainly speak following changes like this. With the lack of clarity right now regarding important people, he should set the record straight.
So - A few nuggets on Del Rio:
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) December 31, 2019
- Well schooled in both the 4-3 and 3-4 D
- Very aggressive, attacking defense, with lot's of exotic blitzes.
- Disguises coverages well on the back-end but doesn't get to fancy - seems to stick with what works.
- Adapts scheme to fit his talent
Did some film watching on him a month or so ago for an article I did on some potential coaching candidates
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) December 31, 2019
The article I was doing was on HC - and for that I said no, but as a DC - 100% yes

Two sides couldn’t come to an agreement on a future re-structure of the organization.
Just heard @BuckyBrooks make a great point on @ColinCowherd radio: with Freddie Kitchens and John Dorsey out in Cleveland, nobody there including Baker Mayfield, has an ally. All bets are off....This club needs a serious blueprint and somebody, anybody that will stick to it.

Even if the Browns do hire someone like Andrew Berry, the constant churning of management is a huge problem. Why should we expect the new front office to get more than a couple years to build something before the Browns just turn things over again?
