Top 10 most dysfunctional teams in the NFL

1 Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns have had only one winning season since 2007. In the last five seasons they have won only 23 games. More troubling, they have had nine head coaches since 1999 and four since 2011. They try out new general managers quite often as well; they have had seven since 1999.

In addition to weak coaches and a revolving door of general managers, the team has struggled to acquire decent talent. Some are promising on-field, like 2012 supplemental secound-round pick Josh Gordon and 2014 first-round pick Johnny Manziel, but end up being huge disappointments because of off-field problems. Manziel is no longer with the team, and Gordon is perpetually suspended due to violations of the league’s substance abuse policies.

2014 first-round pick Justin Gilbert has also been a disappointment, and their 2012 pair of first-round picks, quarterback Brandon Weeden and running back Trent Richardson, were complete busts.

One of the team’s most intriguing decisions was the acquisition of Robert Griffin III from the Washington Redskins. Griffin seems like a huge upgrade compared to Manziel, while the Browns– to Griffin, at least– seem like a big upgrade compared to the Washington Redskins. Perhaps Griffin will be the quarterback the Browns have sought in vain for the last two decades. It is also possible, however, that Griffin will be the next in a long line of disappointing quarterbacks that includes the likes of Tim Couch and Brady Quinn.

At the end of the 2015 season, the team fired head coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer, replacing them with the Bengals former offensive coordinator Hue Jackson and former executive VP of football operations Sashi Brown. With new coaches, a new general manager, and fourteen draft picks in this year’s draft, will the team dominate the league? Probably not, but it is hard to imagine they could be any worse off than they have been in recent years.
