Browns hire Ryan Grigson

[Mr. Scot]

Because of course they did.

("Senior Personnel Executive" per PFT)

Ryan brings valuable experience to our personnel group,” Browns G.M. Sashi Brown said in a statement. “He was raised as a road-scout and has been evaluating talent in this league for almost 20 years. We place a premium on that experience and on his passion for football. Ryan has much to offer to any personnel department and we are pleased that he chose to join our staff.”

Left unsaid: "He also once gave us a first round pick for Trent Richardson."

Obviously it's the Browns in 1st place in worst run NFL franchises...but what are the top 5?

This is actually a decent move. Grigson has been consistently good at identifying talent at WR and TE. If used right, he can be an asset.

I like what the Browns are doing. They need to stay the course.

as long as the give HJ a fair opportunity, i think they can turn things around but they seem to be trigger happy on their coaches. of course, they can just be destined as an organization to be junk kinda like we are destined to never have back to back winning seasons.

Yeah, I think him not getting fired was a good sign.

Things are looking up for them IMO.

it make take another couple years when BR retires and the Bengals will Bengal they could take over that division. but in Steelers fashion, they will probably somehow land another good QB so they dont take that dip.

Depends on two things. 1. The criteria and 2. Current or all time (franchise history).

For 'running an organization' I'd consider two man things. First of of W/L ratio. It doesn't get any clear cut than that to me. If you're not a well run team you won't win games, period. A winning team brings fans, money, security, fame, respect....so many things. It should be the basis of success.

Second, when things aren't going well (again based mainly on W/L), what is the reason, how long is it allowed to persist, what is done about it, and how quickly are things turned around?

Currently I'd say:

1. Browns

2. Jags

3. Bears

4. 49ers

5. Bills

Runner ups: Raiders, Dolphins, Jets

All time:

1. Browns

2. Lions

3. Texans

4. Bills (mainly for holding the record for longest without a post season game)

5. Jags (almost identical franchise history to the Panthers except the 2015 SB run).

 

Runner ups: Panthers would be around 6/7 alltime with above criteria, W/L record alone in the NFL since 1995 would put them in the bottom 10
