Cleveland Browns: Sashi Brown more likely on the hot seat than Hue Jackson

In Cleveland Browns chatter, one scribe believes Sashi Brown’s job is more in jeopardy than that of head coach Hue Jackson’s.

ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Grossi took a question regarding the future of Browns’ vice president Sashi Brown, and the future doesn’t look great for the executive is the Browns continue to dredge deeper into the NFL abyss.

What was really supposed to be expected? Owner Jimmy Haslam hired the team lawyer to head up the football operations department.

I remember that press conference following the conclusion of that dreadful 2014 season.

I tried to stay positive, because what choice do we as Browns fans have.

But really, Brown’s promotion to top football man is going about as you’d expect: Terrible.

I know, I know. The Browns would comeback and say they operate collaboratively. Andrew Berry’s the GM. Paul DePodesta is the chief strategy officer.

Welp, Berry’s new to the job. DePodesta worked in baseball. Everyone’s learning on the job, as usually is the case in Cleveland.

Here’s what Grossi wrote about Browns’ future.

"I believe Brown is sitting on a hotter seat than Jackson. I don’t think Haslam wants to shake up anything, but another 1-15 season would make it difficult for him to stand pat."

Grossi has added in radio hits this week on ESPN Cleveland that the clue Jackson may be safer is based around the attention paid to the wide receiving corps this week.

The Browns re-signed Ranell Hall, who was a favorite of the coaching staff, to the practice squad. They also signed Bryce Teggs, a player whom Jackson has a past with.

These are players with obvious ties to Jackson. The team needs to get better at the receiver position, and something needed to be done ASAP.

So what happens if the Browns end up with the No. 1 pick again, like ESPN is projecting?

Jackson could keep his job, and Brown could always stay in the organization. It would be a bad look for ownership to blow it up again. Perhaps Haslam would hire someone else to act as the teams football czar, while Brown stays in the organization doing something.

Remember, before his curious promotion to head of football operations, he was the team’s contract negotiator.

Grossi downplayed the idea of Jackson becoming his own GM, and that’s no surprise. To take on that dual role, you’ve really got to earn it. Hue’s 1-19. He’s a long way from calling the shots like Bill Belichik.
