Paul Brown left Cleveland due to a power struggle with the team's owner, Art Modell. In 1963, Modell sought to exert more control over the franchise, which clashed with Brown's established authority and vision for the team. The tensions escalated, leading to Brown's dismissal, ultimately resulting in him founding the Cincinnati Bengals in 1968. Brown's departure marked a significant shift in the history of professional football in Ohio.
