As expected, Browns fire coach Mike Pettine and GM Ray Farmer

The Cleveland Browns have fired coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer following a 3-13 season.

Pettine went 10-22 in two years and dropped 18 of his final 21 games after a promising 7-4 start in 2014. The Browns announced Pettine's and Farmer's dismissals shortly after the team's 28-12 home loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jimmy Haslam said that the team will hire a new coach first. The coach then will be involved in choosing the general manager, whose duties will be scouting and talent acquisition.

Who would want to be GM if they are essentially stripped of power? What kind of candidates do they expect to attract?

This has disaster written all over it!

I heard that on Mike & Mike this morning and boy does that sound right.

Marvin Lewis is going nowhere
Mike Tomlin is a lock
Harbaugh is the only one who may have an issue

Whoever gets hired in Cleveland won't be there long unless they get new ownership. It's the only way to fix that team!!
