The qualified people who have failed in Cleveland is sickening, and for some, you, not me, is perplexing.
The collective resumes of Holmgren, Davis, Hue, Savage, Crennel, Sashi, Farmer, and on and on remain impressive. How can so many succeed elesewhere but then fail miserably in Cleveland? Worse, how can so many who fail in Cleveland, players included, move on and do well elsewhere, usually imeediately?
The answer is pretty simple, it really is. As someone who has started up several successful companies, and am engaged in another one as we speak, this is a glaringly easy puzzle.
There is no core culture in Cleveland, Lerner didn't have it, and Haslam sure as heck doesn't have it. When you hire someone off of a resume, often forgotten is that the success the person had came from within someone else's system. There is never a guarantee that someone can repeat their past results in your system, especially if you don't have a system, or what I call core culure.
In the case of the Browns, each exec has continually been off on their own journey, doing whatever the hell they thought was best. Dorsey is a prime example of this pathology. How do you insert a new team and 8 weeks later come to find out that nobody is on the same plane?
How can the Steelers lose Bell and not even have an eye blink in replacing him?
Pittsburgh has an established culture, a system, core beliefs, values and principles. New England is the same deal. ANy successful team has these ingredients, Cleveland does not.
It is said poop rolls down hill. The Browns have poop at the very top of the food chain. They keep trying to hire a hero. They hire a bunch of headstrong a holes, each with their own private philosophy, and what do you get? YOu get the Browns.
The Browns need a leader, not a draft wizzard, They need a leader, and Dorsey is not that man.
