CLEVELAND: Sunday’s firings of coach Mike Pettine and General Manager Ray Farmer won’t be enough.
For the Browns to regain legitimacy and eliminate the toxic atmosphere inside Berea headquarters, owner Jimmy Haslam must also make changes at the upper levels of his organization.
The road Haslam appears to be going down by promoting from within isn’t the answer. Shuffling people around on the second floor isn’t going to develop a winning culture. It’s not going to find the quarterback of the future or encourage credible candidates to replace Farmer and Pettine to line up at the Browns’ doorstep.
