New Browns GM rips predecessor
New Browns manager played linebacker in the NFL. Turns out, he still hits hard.
Dorsey, hired last week by owner to fix his floundering franchise, harshly criticized the team’s previous football leader

“You’ve got to get a guy like that players,” Dorsey said on WKNR-850. “And you know what? I’ll come straight out with it. The guys who were here before, that system, they didn’t get real players. As (coach)
would always say, ‘You are your record.’ And you know what? There it is, so that’s the truth-teller in this thing. And I’m going to do my darnedest to get Hue players. And that’s all I can ask for, and that’s all I’m going to do. I like the man.”
Dorsey was fired by the Chiefs after four seasons. They made the playoff three times under his watch.
Haslam has stated his support of Jackson, who is 1-28 in two seasons, but is expected back in 2018.
Jackson didn’t want to comment on Dorsey’s assessment of the roster. He and Brown didn’t agree on several roster decisions, and their fractured relationship was at the heart of Haslam’s decision to make a change. general
