After four years of being shackled by the dumbest coach in the NFL, Jeff Janis is moving on to Cleveland. It’s a promising development for all of us – and there are a lot of us – who’ve been awaiting Janis’ chance to spread his wings and soar.
No other front office in the league knows more about Janis’ capabilities. Browns assistant general manager Eliot Wolf was in the Green Bay front office for all of Janis’ four years in Wisconsin. So was Alonzo Highsmith, who was the Packers’ senior personnel executive. He’s now in his first year as the Browns’ vice president of player personnel.
