in as they have embarked on another head coaching search.This will be the fourth search since owner Jimmy Haslam bought the team in 2012 https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Bernie-Kosar-Jersey , with the previous hires resulting in Rob Chudzinski, one-and-done after 2013, Mike Pettine, done in by the Johnny Manziel circus and his misguided loyalty to defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil, and Hue Jackson, who was let go last week as the worst head coach in NFL history. The one constant through all this has been Haslam, who has had a heavy hand in all the hirings, and who also claims to have learned his lesson every time he first a head coach.This time could be different, however, because of the presence of general manager John Dorsey. While Dorsey has never been directly in charge of hiring a head coach in his front office career - he was hired as general manager in Kansas City after Andy Reid was hired as head coach - Dorsey has enough experience and connections throughout the game to help Browns fans sleep a little better at night. But Haslam may have a different plan in mind, according to Robert Klemko at The Monday Morning Quarterback.Klemko took a deeper dive into the reasons behind the firing of Jackson and what comes next for the Browns and, in the process, dropped a piece of information that may not bode well for the future:Yikes!Haslam is the owner and he certainly is within his rights to want to know what is going on with the team. But given his history, he should be more of an observer, rather than a decider, when it comes to selecting the team’s next head coach.Dorsey is in place for a reason, and part of that is to get this coaching hire right. Unless Dorsey goes off the rails with some completely nonsensical suggestion - think Jim Tressel - then Haslam needs to sit back and trust that the people he has in place know what they are doing. Because we all know what happens when he doesn’t https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Rashard-Higgins-Jersey , and it is not pretty. CLEVELAND (AP) — Cam Newton’s unique fashion choices remain exciting.Everything else about the Carolina Panthers looks stale.Unable to come up with big plays down the stretch again, the reeling Panthers suffered their fifth straight loss, a 26-20 setback to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday that puts a major dent in Carolina’s playoff hopes.Afterward, Newton, stylish as usual in a hat and tailored gray, three-piece suit adorned with a yellow rose on his lapel, uncomfortably answered questions about Carolina’s collapse.“It’s extremely frustrating to come up short each and every week with similar settings and not be able to push through,” said Newton, who passed for 265 yards and a touchdown but had two bad throws late in the fourth quarter. “I wish I had the words to say, but I don’t. In this league, that’s what it always comes down to: finding ways to keep the game close.“We just haven’t found a way to win.”The Panthers (6-7) are plummeting. They have three games left, but two are against the New Orleans Saints (11-2), who clinched the NFC South with a 28-14 win over Tampa Bay.Carolina was unable to put away the Browns (5-7-1), who scored nine points in the fourth quarter and overcame their own costly mistakes.It’s back to the drawing board for the Panthers and coach Ron Rivera, who was already feeling the heat and is in real danger of losing his job. Rivera shook up his coaching staff last week, pulling defensive play-calling duties away from coordinator Eric Washington, firing defensive line coach Brady Hoke and assistant secondary/cornerbacks coach Jeff Imamura.Those moves came after Rivera’s meeting with owner David Tepper and general manager Marty Hurney Joe Thomas Jersey , who may want to have another discussion with him.The Browns completed a 66-yard pass on their first play, and gashed Carolina’s defense for plays of 51, 51, 29, 28 and 15 yards. Even Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry got loose for a long run.But the Panthers’ biggest problem has been their inability to win close games. They’ve dropped their part four by a combined 17 points.“We felt like we were going to win today,” defensive end Julius Peppers said. “We felt like we were going to win last week. We feel like we are going to win every game. It is not for a lack of confidence. It is just a lack of execution.”With the Panthers trailing 26-20, Newton, who has been bothered by a sore right shoulder for several weeks, dinked and dunked his way to Cleveland’s 3-yard line with 3:25 left.After a run by D.J. Moore was stopped for no gain, Newton underthrew Curtis Samuel in the right corner of the end zone on third down.Then, on fourth down, Newton, facing some pressure up the middle, overthrew Jarius Wright in the back of the end zone on what would end up being Carolina’s last real chance.The Panthers got the ball back with 1:04 left, but Newton missed wide receiver Devin Funchess and was intercepted by Browns safety Damarious Randall.Newton accepted responsibility for his mistakes, but said the Panthers as a whole aren’t doing enough to win.Carolina had earlier chances to score, but a false start led to a field goal instead of a touchdown and the Panthers had the ball for just 24 seconds in one series in the third before punting.“Those opportunities slip through our grasp and find ways to come back and bite us Chris Hubbard Color Rush Jersey ,” Newton said. “Early on in the second half, we had opportunities, favorable field position, and we just have to find ways to score points, touchdowns, preferably. Now everyone goes to shuffling, running around with their heads cut off and panicking at the end of the game.“We should’ve done the hard work when we had opportunities. It’s just a detriment to everyone. I’m going to do my part. I’m starting with myself. We all put ourselves in this situation. There’s no one person to blame. We just have to keep moving forward.”Newton quickly dismissed a question about whether he would rest his sore shoulder.Times are tough, but he’s not quitting.“We’re in a position where we’re done with the cliché sayings,” he said. “It just comes down to us doing our job. That’s pretty much what it is, in all three phases of football. Even though coach can get up and motivate us, we can get up, scream and holler, it just comes down to us doing our job.”
