Browns fired Lombardi/Banner, promote Farmer to GM, went after Jim Harbaugh?

Would the Browns internal stuff have a big Browns logo like that? You know, partially down the page?

It doesn't look like a page header, it looks like it's in a box. Could it actually be Pats stuff that maybe lists each team's roster or some such?

That page could be listing the players under contract to Cleveland or something. How does anyone know if that's some internal document, which is clearly the insinuation.

I agree with all of this but it doesn't answer the question of how things work in Pittsburgh.
I guess I should have been more explicit: the Steelers are one of the league's better-run organizations, so I'm sure the coordinators report to Timlin, even if decisions to hire and fire them aren't his alone.

Are we even positive it's a Browns helmet? I mean, it looks like their logo ... but their logo is just a big orange helmet.

You might be sure but I'm not: there are lots of organization structures that can work and the Pittsburgh model of having a strong media/team management/game management head coach who has little say on either the offensive or the defensvie side of the ball (Tomlin's a tampa-2 coach and the Steelers don't play Tampa-2) doesn't require having coordinators that report to the head coach.

Belichick is a 3-4 coach and the Patriots don't really run a 3-4. 
(I'm not taking a position on the Steelers org chart, just saying that head coaches can evolve or can hire good people who are independent but still work with them closely and have a lot of say).
