Paul Brown – The Building of the Cleveland Browns

For almost three solid decades, the Cleveland Browns would dominate the game of professional football. From 1946 to 1955 they have been described as “The Best Show in Town.” From 1956 until 1973, the club won eight division titles, went to the playoffs 11 times, played in the NFL Championship Game four times and won one NFL title. During this time, the Browns only had one losing season.

Their very first head coach was Paul Eugene Brown who was at the helm from the inception until 1962. He asked his players to call him “Paul.”

Brown had coached Massillon (Ohio) high school to six state championships.
