The first thing Browns coach Hue Jackson and new general manager John Dorsey discussed Friday morning wasn’t the state of Cleveland’s young roster. It wasn’t a frustrating record over the past two seasons. And it wasn’t their similar philosophies in how to build a football team.
“I think what’s more important is vision,” Jackson said. “What do we want to be? What do we want this organization to be like, play like, look like as we move forward and make sure that we get aligned together as fast as we can.”
Dorsey, who officially replaced Sashi Brown late Thursday, will work with Jackson, chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta (who will remain with the club for a third season) to turn around a franchise that has lost 27 of its last 28 games.
