Browns' owner sure GM-coach alliance will work

BEREA, Ohio - The Cleveland Browns believe the forced marriage between new general manager John Dorsey and coach Hue Jackson will work.

The Browns chose to fire Sashi Brown as vice president of football operations but retained Jackson - at least through the 2018 season.

"I think it would be a mistake to just zero in on '18," owner Jimmy Haslam said of retaining Jackson. "We're planning on Hue Jackson being our football coach for a long time."

Haslam acknowledged Jackson's 1-27 record, and 0-12 mark this season.

"I wouldn't call that Hue's record," Haslam said.
