When it comes to the Cleveland Browns, the only constant is change. What had been coming for weeks was made official when the team confirmed that general manager Ray Farmer and head coach Mike Pettine had been relieved of their duties following the season-ending loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It was not, however, a full housecleaning as it had been reported in some areas. While Morocco Brown and Bill Kuharich were also let go from the front office, Sashi Brown was promoted to executive vice president of football operations and handed full roster control.
Owner Jimmy Haslam also announced that the Browns will first hire a head coach and that person would then have a hand in hiring the general manager.
