The Cleveland Browns didn’t waste much time at all in announcing that they were firing Freddie Kitchens on Monday. The first-year head coach had not taken the team even as far as they had gotten the year before, and Jimmy Haslam quickly became convinced that he doesn’t have what it takes to do so, and thus relieved him of his duties less than a year into his tenure.
Yesterday, he announced another major decision, one of which I’m personally much more skeptical. The official word is that the team and general manager John Dorsey mutually agreed to part ways, with Dorsey declining to accept the owners’ proposal for a new front office structure, which would presumably remove some power from his position.
