Around The NFL - 2014

So, now Cle has a HC who has never been a HC, a GM who has never held that position, a veteran president who has worked in that capacity for over a month and a half now, all of whom can avail themselves to the hard won wisdom of their NFL owner who has had the team for nearly a year and a half. What could go wrong?

If they don't have a .700 winning percent by week ten Haslam needs to shtein can the entire lot of 'em.

Well, at least he has serious business and legal issues that can distract him from the team woes.

When Whisenhunt entered the room this year for the interview, he was one of the hottest commodities on the head-coaching market, and the Browns were very interested in him.

Whisenhunt said, "Why didn't you guys hire me last year?''

The Browns' CEO who was in both interviews, Joe Banner, told Whisenhunt he didn't think the staff he was putting together at the time was "a championship coaching staff."

Whisenhunt, one NFL source said, was peeved that a man who had never coached and who'd been involved in football mainly on the business side would sit in judgment of his potential coaches.

"Who are you to tell me what makes up a championship coaching staff?" Whisenhunt said, with an edge in his voice.

According to Daniel Kaplan of Sports Business Daily, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made $44.2 million in the 12-month span that ended March 31, 2013.

I wish they would say he "got" $44.2M.  It's so much more accurate.
