CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns have been a roller coaster to follow since the team was purchased by Jimmy and Dee Haslam in 2012.
BEFORE THE NFL
Jimmy Haslam started his career at Pilot Corporation.
Haslam rose through the ranks, before being named president and Chief Executive Officer in the late 90s.
NFL
The Haslams started their football ownership by buying a minority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008.
BROWNS
After being minority owners of a team for four years, they decided to buy the Browns from Randy Lerner for $1 billion.
Since they bought the team, they have gone through five head coaches and five general managers, not including any interim positions.
2012
The first move the Haslams made was firing head coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert.
Shurmur ended his first and only season under the Haslams at 5-11.
2013
After the Haslams fired Shurmur, they decided to hire Rob Chudzinski as head coach and Michael Lombardi as general manager.
Chudzinski went 4-12 in 2013 and was fired after only one season as head coach.
2014
A few months after Chudzinski was fired, the Browns announced that Lombardi was out and would be replaced by Ray Farmer.
The Haslams replaced Chudzinski with head coach Mike Pettine.
Pettine and Farmer lasted longer than their predecessors.
They were both with the Browns for two seasons, until the Haslams fired them in January 2016.
2016
Next up on the coaching and general manager carousel for the Haslams: Hue Jackson and Sashi Brown.
During Jackson's first season as head coach, the Browns had an abysmal record of 1-15, but the Haslams chose to keep him for another season.
His second season was even worse; the Browns became the second team in NFL history to not win a single game in a season. Instead of firing Jackson, the Haslams fired Brown before the end of the season and hired John Dorsey the same day.
Eight weeks into the 2018 season, the Haslams fired Jackson and promoted defensive coordinator Greg Williams to interim head coach.
2019
At the end of the season, they chose to name interim offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens head coach.
Kitchens ended his first and last season as head coach with a 6-10 record, which was the best record a full-time head coach achieved under the Haslams. They fired him on Sunday, the same night he ended the season with a loss to the Bengals.
Two days after firing Kitchens, Dorsey and the Haslams decided to mutually part ways after they were unable to come to an agreement on a future re-structure of the organization.
If fans have learned anything from the Haslams ownership, it's that the coaching and general manager merry-go-round seems like it will never stop.
