Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam says that there is "no primer" for being in charge of an NFL franchise, following his decision to make front office changes.

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has once again defended the decisions of the franchise, following front office changes which were announced on Tuesday.

Both chief executive officer Joe Banner and general manager Michael Lombardi were let go by Haslam after less than two years in their positions, with the team owner promoting Ray Farmer up from assistant general manager.

With seemingly constant change occurring in Cleveland, the team have come under increased scrutiny this season.

Haslam has hit back, telling reporters: "I will just tell you that the people I talked to around the country do not think this isn't an outstanding opportunity here in Cleveland, whether it's to coach, play or work. And I continue to hear that.

"I will accept comments and criticism about change. But there is no primer for being an NFL owner. It is learn-as-you-go.

"This decision has simply come about as Joe and I mutually agreed that it was best for the organization if we streamline things. We thank both him and Michael for their work and dedication. We wish them and their families the best."

Farmer will take over with immediate effect, with president Alec Scheiner continuing in charge of the Browns' business operations.
