Browns fire GM but decide to keep Hue Jackson

My understanding is they have stockpiled a boatload of high draft picks in the next draft, plus they have tons and tons of cap space.  The new GM will pick the next head coach.  As we've seen from our own Jags, there's not that great a distance from worst in the league to contention.  They've already done a nice job of tearing things down and tanking.   They're teed up to make a comeback in just a couple of seasons.   The key to their future success is to get the owner to stay out of things.   That may not be possible.  The best thing for them to do is hire a guy like we hired with Coughlin- an overseer who can be between the owner and the GM.

As for Hue, he may or may not be a decent coach, but from what I have seen, if you lose enough games, it's impossible to turn things around.  The HC loses credibility with the players in that kind of situation.

Edit: I looked it up, and in the 2018 draft, they have 13 picks, FIVE in the first 2 rounds. Wow. That, plus huge cap space, sets them up for a BIG comeback if they can make the right moves.
