The Cleveland Browns were the last team with a head coaching vacancy to fill their position. They are also still looking for a new general manager. Their lead candidate for the position, George Paton, just took himself out of the running. It was a desirable hire because he has a long working relationship with new head coach Kevin Stefanski because of their time together with the Minnesota Vikings.
According to Cleveland.com, one of the reasons that Paton removed his name from consideration, aside from the fact that he was already comfortable with his position in Minnesota, is because he had some concerns about the Browns’ organizational structure, with everybody being asked to report directly to the owners, and with Paul DePodesta being placed at the same level in the hierarchy.
