CLEVELandMILIDH Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Browns fire director of player development Jerry Butler Posted by Michael David Smith on May 17, 2011, 7:37 AM EDT The Cleveland Browns have fired director of player development Jerry Butler, and at least one player Butler helped develop isn’t happy about it. Browns cornerback Eric Wright posted about his admiration for Butler on Twitter. “We all understand that things change and business isn’t always fair but the Browns fired one of the best guys in that building in Jerry Butler,” Wright tweeted. The Browns’ web site still lists Butler as director of player development, but Zac Jackson of Fox Sports Ohio reports that two sources confirmed the Browns have, in fact, fired Butler. After a standout career at Clemson, the Buffalo Bills made Butler the fifth overall pick in the 1979 NFL draft. He was rookie of the year in 1979 and a Pro Bowler in 1980, and after retiring as a player in 1987 he moved to the Bills’ front office. In 1999 Butler became the Browns’ receivers coach, and in 2001 he moved into the director of player development role. And now he’s out, in a move that comes as a surprise. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/05/17/browns-fire-director-of-player-development-jerry-butler/ Seems fitting considering we haven't developed many players since he's been in that position and he's had top draft picks to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF BROWN *********************************************** LOL. Butler: "Eric Wright is going great" Wright: "I don't know what's wrong, things are not going the way they should...

blowe Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 What in the hell does Eric Wright know? He did jack for us for the majority of last season. That's progressing backwards, which is the opposite of what this guy is supposed to do for our young players, right? To me it almost seems as though Wright is calling out the organization for firing someone who is supposedly 'one of the best guys in that building'. Spare me.

The Gipper Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Careful, you're really showing your age, LOL. I don't think I have to be careful. If I show you my age that means that you have to show me the proper respect and buy the beer, right? Or do you think everyone my age just buys Southern Comfort? I don't, but I will take a Jameson on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miktoxic Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Jerry Butler 19 place in Top Date of birth: 13 May 1959 Bio: One of the most popular male stars of the 1980's, Jerry Butler was a blonde-haired hunk whose popularity didn't stem from his size alone. In fact, Jerry was a fairly normally-endowed young man, but his passionate and caring sexual style quickly caught on with female co-stars and fans alike. His handsome features and more-than-decent acting skills made him one of the most sought-after studs on the 80's porno circuit, and his performances rarely disappointed. Jerry was born Jerry Butler in New York City in the late 50's and led the normal life of a young Jewish guy in the city. He was attending junior college in the late 70's when he got bitten by the acting bug, and soon he was enrolled in one of the top acting schools in New York. He landed a role in an off-Broadway play that called for him to appear nude onstage, which brought out a bit of the exhibitionist in him. Soon, he answered an ad in a local paper seeking men for hardcore features. A prodigiously sexual young man, Jerry took the job and soon found himself one of the hottest young talents in the business. Jerry first hit porno screens in 1981, and appeared in over 500 features during his ten-year-plus career. Some of his hottest work can be found in '10 1/2 Weeks,' a take-off of the mainstream hit that found him in an obsessive relationship with Barbara Dare. His romping with Heather Hart in 'God Daughter 3' and with Kristara Barrington and Keisha in 'Real Men Eat Keisha' also stand out. Jerry released an autobiography called "Raw Talent" in the early 90's, giving an insider's account of the hardcore scene. His sometimes brutal honesty angered many in the business, and by 1992 he had left the scene completely. Rumor has it that he worked driving a bus for the handicapped in Staten Island before a recent move to upstate New York. He remains one of the most popular studs of his era. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
