    New Browns CEO Joe Banner is confident fans won't have to wait for another five-year rebuilding plan, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    "I'll be in a straitjacket if it takes that long," Banner said shortly after his introductory news conference in Berea on Wednesday.

    Banner, 59, comes to town with a sense of urgency and list of credentials from the Eagles that begins and ends with one word -- winning.

    "I know these fans have been through a lot of hopeful starts and I don't want to sit up here and be the next promiser in their lives," he said. "We're just going to have to deliver. I know this: Nobody will work harder, nobody will have a clearer direction, I don't imagine anybody could have more, maybe somebody else could tie, of a sense of the appreciation of the history of the fans and the city."

    "It's remarkable when you look at the last 18 to 20 years, the passion, the intensity and they're still filling the stadium. So we're just going to work as hard as we possibly can to reward that and put the best team on the field we can and just make it fun for everybody."
