Death, taxes and the Cleveland Browns firing someone near the end of a disappointing season. There aren't many sure things in life, but those are a few, and the Browns held up their end when they fired GM/executive VP Sashi Brown, the Browns confirmed Thursday.
It should probably not be surprising to see owner Jimmy Haslam making changes again this year, with Cleveland sitting at 0-12. However, the owner released a statement saying Hue Jackson will remain the coach.
"We have great appreciation and gratitude for Sashi's commitment and leadership to our organization but believe transitioning to someone with strong experience and success in drafting and building consistently winning football teams is critical to the future of the Cleveland Browns. Today we informed Sashi that we were going in a new direction," Haslam said. "The 2018 draft and offseason is pivotal for our franchise, we need to ensure that we maximize our opportunity for success; with our picks, free agency and building our roster. Hue Jackson will remain our coach and will return for the 2018 season but we feel it is necessary to take significant steps to strengthen our personnel department.
"We have begun the process of having productive conversations regarding leadership of our football operations and will provide further updates when appropriate. We thank Sashi for all his hard work and dedication to the Cleveland Browns."
