CLEVELAND, Ohio - John Dorsey, the Browns latest GM hire, brings a traditionalist's eye to player evaluation.
His best work happened in Kansas City where the Chiefs went 43-21 from 2013-2016. His contract wasn't renewed, reportedly because of his management style. He became available in June.
In firing Sashi Brown and hiring Dorsey, Jimmy Haslam has retreated from an analytics-heavy front office after "committing" to it for all of two years.
When chief strategist Paul DePodesta was hired, he relayed the story of warning ownership there would be harrowing stretches along the way but that once the ride started Haslam couldn't ask to get off.
