Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is not oblivious to his team’s status as a laughingstock of the NFL.
How could he be?
Since Haslam bought the Browns from Randy Lerner for $1.05 billion in 2012, he has fired three head coaches, three general managers, two presidents and a CEO. The absence of stability and continuity breeds chaos.
Now men without traditional football backgrounds sit atop the franchise’s latest power structure and plan to push the use analytics in football to an unprecedented level. People throughout the league are rolling their eyes.
Oh, and the team with 24 starting quarterbacks since 1999 is in the midst of a 13-year playoff drought and hasn’t posted a winning season since 2007.
