The Cleveland Browns may be on the cusp of announcing their next head coach, which means it is time to start working on hiring a general manager.
Which is what the Browns are currently doing, according to Senior NFL Reporter Albert Breer:
The Browns have started reference checks and working on permission on GM candidates, per sources. The plan all along has been to pick the coach, and find a GM to pair him with.
So Cleveland's working on Step 2 of its process.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) January 11, 2020That is in line with what co-owner Jimmy Haslam said in the wake of the team firing general manager John Dorsey, according to clevelandbrowns.
