In case you missed it, here’s a look back at some of our recent originals:
- You don’t usually see teams fire a GM and announce his replacement all in one day. But that’s exactly what the Browns did in 2017, swapping executive VP/de facto GM Sashi Brown for John Dorsey. Our own Ben Levine looked back on the Browns’ drastic overhaul and the ripple effect that’s still being felt in Cleveland to this day.
- This may surprise you, but not everyone is a fan of Roger Goodell. In 2017, when Goodell was up for a lucrative extension, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was among his most vocal critics. Recently, we reflected on all the juicy drama that ensued before Goodell inked his new contract, worth up to $63MM per annum. For what it’s worth, Jones and Goodell are in a much better place today. Just recently, Jones deemed Goodell to be an “excellent commissioner.”
- After five seasons at the helm, Jeff Fisher wasn’t able to shepherd the Rams to the playoffs. With three games left in 2016, owner Stan Kroenke decided that he couldn’t wait any longer. Hours after he tied the NFL’s all-time record for most losses by any head coach, Fisher got his pink slip. Five years later, the Rams are in a much better spot.
