YOU'RE ON THE LIST

That is one more name they have to look at. Now do the part that actually costs them something — tell one more person why.

WE WANT HASLAM OUT

Fourteen years. 78-150-1. Dead last in the NFL in scoring in 2024. Eight of the last sixteen first-round picks are out of football. In June they traded away the best defensive player in franchise history - and they are selling seat licences for a stadium that does not open until 2029.

FOURTEEN YEARS. THE MATH.

78-150-1

That is the Cleveland Browns' record since Jimmy Haslam bought the team for $1.05 billion on 25 October 2012.
A .343 winning percentage. Two winning seasons in fourteen. Nine last-place finishes. One playoff win.
Two of those seasons were 1-15 and 0-16. The 2017 Browns are one of only two teams in NFL history to lose every game in a season.
That is not a bad stretch. That is fourteen years.

SEVEN HEAD COACHES

THE CAROUSEL

Rob Chudzinski was given one season. Mike Pettine got two, and went 10-22.
Hue Jackson won three games in two and a half years. A .088 winning percentage. He was given forty games to do it.
Kevin Stefanski won AP Coach of the Year twice and was the first Browns coach to last six seasons since Sam Rutigliano. He started thirteen different quarterbacks. Seven of them in his final two years. He was fired the morning after winning his last game.
The reason given: "I don't think there was one breaking point... sometimes it's just time for a change."
The general manager was retained.

MARCH 2024

HE WAS IN THE BUILDING

In March 2024 the Browns hired Mike Vrabel. Akron native. Ohio State. Four straight winning seasons as a head coach in Tennessee.
Not as head coach. As a consultant.
He sat in that building through the entire 3-14 season of 2024. By the end of it he was filling in as the offensive line coach. His contract expired on 30 December 2024 and Cleveland let him walk.
New England hired him. In his first season there, he took them to the Super Bowl.

MARCH 2022

$230,000,000 GUARANTEED

On 17 March 2022, ESPN reported Cleveland was out of the running for Deshaun Watson. Atlanta and New Orleans were the last two standing.
Cleveland got back in and won, by offering something no rival would match: the entire contract fully guaranteed at signing. The previous largest fully guaranteed deal in NFL history was $84 million. Cleveland nearly tripled it.
They also sent Houston six draft picks, three of them first-rounders. One became Will Anderson Jr., the 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Nobody forced this. There was no bidding war left to win. They simply offered more than anyone else was willing to.

BROOK PARK

NOW THEY WANT YOUR SEAT BACK

The team is leaving the lakefront for a domed stadium in Brook Park. The City of Cleveland had offered $461 million toward renovating the existing one. The mayor called the decision to leave "frustrating and profoundly disheartening."
Confirmed on 10 March 2026: a personal seat licence will be required for every single seat in the new building. Including the Dawg Pound, which was exempt in the 1990s.
If you already own a seat licence, you have to buy a new one. Your credit toward it is $375 to $2,100.
A pricing survey sent to season ticket holders in late 2025 floated seat licences from $550 to as much as $193,650, median $4,475, before a single ticket. The team says those were research figures. In August 2026, with seat-licence sales due to begin in mid-September, the team said it was still working through pricing.
The seat licences are confirmed. As of August 2026, the prices were not. Decide for yourself how that sentence tends to end.
And here is the uncomfortable part, which is the whole reason this page exists. Fourteen years of this, and the building has never gone empty.
That is the argument. As long as the seats keep selling, nothing about the record ever has to change. We are the reason it works. We are also the only people who can stop it working.

WHO'S ASKING - AND WHY IT'S NOT A COMPANY

ONE OF US

Forty years a Browns fan. Twenty of them living in New England, watching up close what it looks like when an owner runs a football team like a business he intends to win at - one standard, everybody held to it, nobody excused from it. I had every reason to switch. I never did.
I do not go to games anymore and I do not give him my money. That is not bitterness. It is the only vote I get.
So I made a shirt. No warehouse, no investors, no licence - which is why not one cent of it reaches the Haslams or the NFL.
If you have read this far you are not a customer. You are the other half of this.

FOUR WORDS

SAY IT OUT LOUD

A hashtag sits on a screen. A chant moves through a building.
At the stadium. Section by section, until the row behind you picks it up. At the bar. Third quarter, down two scores, everybody already thinking it. At your own television. Nobody's watching. Say it anyway.
WE WANT HAS-LAM OUT. Four words. It doesn't need a hashtag, a phone, or anyone's permission. It just needs enough people to start.

SIXTEEN FIRST-ROUND PICKS

HALF ARE OUT OF FOOTBALL

Eight of the sixteen first-round picks since 2012 are no longer in the NFL. Every single one from the first five drafts - Richardson, Weeden, Mingo, Gilbert, Manziel, Shelton, Erving, Coleman - is out of the league.
Justin Gilbert was the eighth pick in the draft. He finished with three starts and one interception.
Two of those sixteen are still on the roster.
Mitchell Schwartz left in free agency and became a First-Team All-Pro and a Super Bowl champion in Kansas City. Kyle Shanahan left in 2015 and has taken a team to the Super Bowl twice since. Mike Vrabel sat in this building for a season as a consultant, his contract expired, they let him walk, and he took New England to the Super Bowl in his first year there.

WORST IN THE LEAGUE

NOT BAD. LAST.

Browns quarterbacks have thrown 226 interceptions since 2013. That is the most in the NFL. The Jets are second with 212.
Over the same thirteen years they have allowed 609 sacks. Also the most in the NFL. Tennessee is second with 600.
They have scored 469 touchdowns since 2013. Third fewest in the NFL. Only the Jets and the Giants have scored fewer.
They have converted 35.6% of their third downs since 2013 - 1,021 of 2,867. Second worst in the NFL. Only the Jets are worse.
They have given the ball away roughly 355 times since 2013. More than twenty-seven turnovers a season, every season, for thirteen straight years.
Twenty-five different men have started a game at quarterback since 2012. Thirteen of them under Kevin Stefanski alone.
Dead last in the league in points scored in 2017. Dead last again in 2024.
In 2016 alone they allowed 66 sacks - most in the NFL that year, and seventeen more than the next-worst team.
They converted 29.5% of their third downs in 2014. Worst in the league. In 2024 they converted 29.5% of their third downs. Worst in the league.
In 2024 they finished 32nd of 32 in points scored, in scoring percentage, in interceptions thrown, in net yards per pass attempt, in third-down rate and in offensive DVOA. Six categories, one season. The defence recorded four interceptions all year - also last in the NFL.
In 2025 the offence finished last in DVOA again. FTN, who have run that number since 1978, rated it the ninth-worst offence in the history of the statistic. The year after they rated the 2024 offence the twelfth worst.
No division title since 1989. No conference championship game since the 1989 season. Thirty-six years.
The thirteen-year totals are ours. We added up NFL.com's own published season tables for all thirty-two teams, 2013 through 2025, and merged the Washington and San Francisco name changes so no franchise got counted twice. Do it yourself and you will get the same numbers. Everything else: Pro-Football-Reference Browns season pages, NFL.com official team stats, and FTN final DVOA ratings.

FEBRUARY 2026

THE ONE THING THAT WORKED WALKED OUT

Jim Schwartz ran the Browns defence for three seasons. In 2023 that defence finished first in the NFL in total yards allowed and first in passing yards allowed. In 2025 it was fourth in yards allowed and third against the pass.
In those same seasons the offence scored fewer points than any team in football in 2024, and finished 31st of 32 in 2025.
A top-five defence, wasted, by the half of the football team this ownership is responsible for building.
On 5 January 2026 they fired Kevin Stefanski. Schwartz was one of three finalists to replace him. On 28 January they hired Todd Monken instead. On 5 February, with a year still left on his contract, Schwartz submitted his resignation. The team asked him to stay on the new staff. He said no.
Talking about it in June he said: "Todd deserved his own guy. A forced marriage isn’t going to work in the NFL."
He was describing his own situation, not the owners, and we are not going to put words in his mouth. We will only point out that the best unit this franchise has fielded in years is now coached by somebody else, and that nobody who leaves this building ever seems sorry about it.

TWENTY-TWO STRAIGHT

THEY HAVE NOT WON IN PITTSBURGH SINCE 2003

On 12 October 2025 the Browns lost in Pittsburgh 23-9. It was their twenty-second consecutive regular-season loss there.
Thirteen of those twenty-two losses have come under this ownership. In thirteen years they have gone to Pittsburgh thirteen times and lost thirteen times.
It is the second-longest streak against a single opponent in NFL history, behind Green Bay's twenty-three straight over Detroit from 1992 to 2014.
Cleveland did beat Pittsburgh at home on 28 December 2025. That was a home game. It does not touch this streak. Sources: News 5 Cleveland, 12 October 2025, and Browns Nation.
