So it was, that they moved to Cleveland, Ohio, but as much as anyone tried, the scum owner refused to change the name of his team, until one day, the only coach he could hire, Paul Brown - the only coach with the know how and confidence to mold the Kodiaks into a championship team and fill the stadium - told him he was the only coach in America that would take the head coaching position, but...

it was stupid to try to keep the name "Kodiaks" because  NFL fans weren't going to stop laughing. So, frustrated that Brown was the only coach who would accept, grudging accepted Paul Brown as his new coach - and allowed the NFL to name his team his second choice - the Bears. The trouble was, there was already a team in Chicago named the BEARS, which really make the scum owner furious, since he didn't know that. Finally, Paul Brown told him there were plenty of brown bears in Alaska, why not just name them the "BROWNS".

    So, history doesn't tell this often - but it wasn't his last name that was the key, but rather Paul Brown's suggestion - Paul Brown came up with the real name of the Cleveland Browns. So, "now you know the rest of the story."
