Have to go with The Factory of Sadness, because Cleveland has lost enough and they deserve a win.

I'm going with the Factory of Sadness, because the Browns have been hosed up since returning to Cleveland, and Schiano is a successful college coach who failed to make the leap to the NFL (when asked about that, Schiano replied "we are legion"). Record has to count for something.

Also, how do you let Brian Hoyer get his loving knees destroyed? He's the best QB in that building in 20 god drat years, and you take stupid risks with his legs?

You can't harm me. Are you a fucking ass? Do you not know who I am? He must not know who I am.
Factory of Sadness. Schiano at least treated Eric LeGrand with some respect. Mike Lombardi is such a petty manchild that he regularly uses the media for character assassination stuff, including on Al Davis. Hint for Lombardi: Crazy Al was ten times the man and GM you could ever hope to be, even at his insane JaMarcus drafting peak.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.
Greg Schiano put together one of the best one-year douche resumes I've ever seen without resorting to the easy stuff like rape or murder. The browns FO is more incompetent than douchey, plus I'm not a fan of combining votes for 3 people to go against one

Factory of Sadness because while Schiano is quite clearly a douche, Tampa still has a chance to be a decent team next year. The Browns? No shot.

The Factory of Sadness chastised Cleveland Browns fans for being negative about having their 4th coaching staff in 4 years, while comparing themselves to the Steelers and Packers despite having done nothing to deserve to even be in the same league as them.

gently caress them all.

Greg Schiano, because of how many times in a single year he did something that would have earned him a spot in the tournament on its own, without even considering the complete body of work. The factory of sadness just can't compare (except in incompetence).

Greg Schiano, because he seems like a pure, distilled douche, whereas the Factory of Sadness feels like a stale, watered-down, knock-off douche. Both are still douches, but one is clearly inferior.

Remember that The Factory of Sadness had an MRSA outbreak a couple of years ago as well, which means there's no drat reason that Tampa shouldn't be taking the proper precautions at this point, unless Schiano Men are above such petty things as diseases. Greg Schiano has no time for modern medicine and neither should you, pussy.

This is the toughest vote for me so far, but I gotta roll with Greg Schiano. He pulled off a staggering amount of douche by himself and didn't require the activation of some kind of Wonder Twin douche powers. Also, that 'diving the victory formation' thing really ticked me off, and I generally don't like feeling emotions anymore when it comes to football outside of laughing at absurdity.

Oh I remember this well cause Joe Jurevicious left the Seahawks for the browns right after the 06 superbowl run, got the MRSA in 08 and never played again. I don't follow the browns at all but was The Factory of Sadness fully installed at that point?


edit: Yeah, The Factory of Sadness comprised of Lombardi/Banner wasn't there then... That was a whole other Factory of Not-Disinfecting-Things. :v:

This is selling Lombardi and Banner (who are actually the contestants) quite a bit short. And I guess I'll vote for them because this doesn't deserve to be a blowout, although Schiano will be a fine douche winner.

This man has the right idea and I vote with him. Greg was the coach of the Bucs for two years, AND HE WAS STILL BETTER THEN RADIO!!! gently caress HIM FOREVER!!! but the Factory of Sadness deserves the win here.

I feel like putting Banner and Lombardi under the heading The Factory of Sadness diminishes their overall douchiness, but even with their twin powers activated, they cannot compete with Greg Schiano















Also, my nomination for him was quoted, so I have to back my horse.

For this vote, I'll note the unstated purpose of the Douche of the Year tournament- to provide a catharthis for football fans by serving Internet Justice over persons involved with football who have done things that are purely negative to the sport and its perception.

Mike Lombardi and Joe Banner are dumb idiots, but they're also fired idiots. They will not be hanging around football in its dark corners, infecting their horrible opinions MRSA-like onto unsuspecting fanbases.

Compare this to Schiano- his name rings out amongst football bloggers as the figurehead to guide their college team to the gloryland. Hes already done stints as an Ohio St. football defensive guru and has been rumored to be close to joining the Patriot's staff. He was nearly hired to be the HC by the Factory of Sadness, a move so dumb that it caused Joe and Mike to be unceremoniously dumped!

Schiano's past sins are well-documented. His future sins are full of promise.

He has yet to officially join the staff, he just has been spending time sitting in the same seat as an assistant director of college scouting would sit while he gets paid the rest of his contract from the Bucs.

Those of you saying it isn't even close really need to read the last ten pages of the Factory of Sadness thread again. I agree that Schiano deserves this, but you are seriously underselling how douchy Banner and Lombardi were in the end. That poo poo was a disaster.

I actually think this is worse. I don't know how exactly scouts work, like if working from home fulltime could be a problem, but I know it's fairly common across many industries for some managers to prefer not to let workers work from home. Although the fact he was doing it so he could care for his sick wife means they should have made reasonable accommodations under the ADA.

But specifically excluding Cystic Fibrosis medications from their health plan is hosed up poo poo. That's basically telling their one employee whose insurance is covering his sick wife that you hate him. It's even worse because COBRA lets you keep your existing health care plan when you lose your job (by paying the same premiums your employer was paying, so it's not always easy or worthwhile to do COBRA), but by yanking the CF meds from the plan, and then laying him off, they're ensuring he can't even pay out of his own pocket to get his wife's meds covered.

That's just evil.

Holy poo poo.

The Factory is awful but Schiano is more than likely going to be going against Incognito for the title, or at least get to the final 4. Even if the factory has been douching it up for a while, Schiano is Douche Incarnate.
