BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have returned to the days of hardcore football scouting and analysis.
The hiring of John Dorsey to be the team’s general manager brings in a longtime scout and former GM to run the organization. How and if analytics fit will be determined, but a guy who spent much of his career as a scout figures to spend his future relying on scouting.
Dorsey, 57, is considered at his best in evaluating talent. He would work closely with coach Hue Jackson, who said he does not need or want final say over personnel because it’s too much to both coach and have those duties.
