From what I saw, there was an internal power struggle between the two and Hue seemingly won. Doesn't mean the next guy won't want his own guy but it's not necessarily Hue's fault the team isn't very good.

John Dorsey is the new GM in Cleveland.

Surprised the Browns didn't hire Reese.

That's not as much of a joke as you might think. Seems the owners don't care about winning, as long as they're making a profit.

The article that I read about it said that they did comply with the Rooney Rule, they just didn't interview anybody that was recommended by the people that over see the Rooney Rule.

Ah, okay. Sirens always go off when someone is hired almost immediately.
