In a fascinating story detailing the recent dysfunction behind the Cleveland Browns, ESPN’s Seth Wickersham describes how owner Jimmy Haslam has presided over five coaching changes in six years, including the recent firing of Hue Jackson, who started his tenure losing 31 of his first 32 games with the Browns.
The story goes to great lengths to paint Haslam as a controlling owner, someone who meddled in every facet of the team, from draft-day selections and free agent signings to player usage during games.
Haslam’s desire to take control over every decision had a positive effect on the Buffalo Bills and their fans.
