Mike Maccagnan never should have even had this perch to fall from.
That’s the word from Mike Lombardi, the former longtime NFL executive and briefly the Browns’ general manager, who’s now with The Athletic. Lombardi, who helped begin the rumblings that Maccagnan was not safe with the Jets late last month, reporting he was on the hot seat, says he never should have had that seat in the first place.
“Maccagnan’s a college scout who got promoted to become a GM. How? I don’t know,” Lombardi said on “The GM Shuffle” podcast Wednesday, before turning his attention to Maccagnan’s right-hand man.
