5. Cleveland Browns

No doubt about it, the Cleveland Browns are the least desirable job in the National Football League. With a history of instability and five coaches fired in less than a decade, the Browns aren’t very good at hiring coaches and are not an appealing option for coaching candidates.

With their inability to hire a coach or front office and keep them for an extended period of time, the Browns are really going to have to sell themselves to a candidate, rather than a candidate necessarily selling themselves to them.

That being said, the Browns can’t afford to hire another dud at head coach, which makes it all the more difficult to bring in a new coach. The fresh face in Cleveland will have to deal quickly with Johnny Manziel and then get to work on fixing a roster that needs a lot of help.

The Browns need help across the board and will have to put together a top-notch draft strategy to begin fixing their problems, which isn’t something the organization has shown any ability to do under owner Jimmy Haslam and his myriad of general managers.

There are some nice players on the roster, but the overall lack of talent is glaring and severe. This team is a mess and it’s going to take a great coach, great front office and patience from ownership. Unfortunately, Haslam has shown very little to make you think that patience is a virtue for him.

This is a bad team, a horrible franchise and a brutal city to live in. Good luck, Cleveland.
