mh has shown that he won't tolerate counter productive actions or behavior from anyone when he shipped dawn aponte out of browns town. her "take it or leave it cribbs" attitude didn't go over well with mh.
Aponte was the Browns' executive who characterized the club's most recent contract offer of $1.4 million per year to disgruntled All-Pro Josh Cribbs as "take it or leave it." Later, Holmgren said, "That take-it-or-leave-it stuff, I think that went out a long time ago."
You know, as "inexperienced" as our front office is (in their current positions--they have plenty of front office experience in roles that don't carry the same titles or "buck-stops-here" responsibility) with Kokinis and Aponte...
This is pretty much all I could get from there. Looks like she is just numbers and that is it. Example is Cribbs. He was basically special teams and that was it ultimately. Could he have done more if used right? Maybe. Making him worth more? probably. She just looked at him, what he produced in which position, came up with his value to the team, and said this is what you are worth take it or leave it. Obviously with many other people involved though. Cold hearted maybe, but from all I gathered with her life being made of numbers, I don't think the Porter fluke was her fault. I do worry however, about her "common sense and logic" method to the sometimes you just feel it sport of football. I think if we can find her devils advocate, so to speak, we could be in for incredible things. If not, we might be in trouble. It sounded like she is a good person, but just kept work and play separate and runs off facts instead of faith, if that makes sense. Just the vibe i got after reading all the threads mentioning her there so take it for what it is worth.
