Freddie Kitchens is one-and-done in Cleveland

Freddie Kitchens gone after last summer's preseason Super Bowl champs finish up 6-10 with a loss to the Bengals today
Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam will be conducting their fifth head coaching search since they took over the team in 2012.
“We thank Freddie for his hard work and commitment to this organization but did not see the success or opportunities for improvement to move forward with him as our head coach,'' they said in a joint statement....
Rarely has a head coach in the NFL done so little with so much talent, and the Browns had no choice but to cut their losses after an abysmal performance in what was supposed to be a playoff season.

Sorry to see him go - always the danger the Browns might get a head coaching hire right eventually
Mods - I did not see the earlier thread on Freddie - please merge - Thx
I really thought they'd finally put it all together.
Well Damn
What's next they fire their GM? Get rid of their front office? Draft another QB??? hmmm deja vu all over again???
It was the tee shirt incident.
Please Browns, hire Marvin Lewis.
Fortunately it looks like Washington is going to hire Ron Rivera, after Bruce Allen was canned to allow their new HC more control, and take that option off the table for the Browns

The Browns have requested permission to interview New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels for their head-coaching vacancy, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Carolina Panthers and New York Giants also have requested an interview with McDaniels.
The Browns also have requested permission to interview Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman, a source told Schefter.

Other than Munchak (who IMO Elway was recruiting for the Denver OL coach position with the interview), when was the last time a team asked permission to interview a Steelers assistant for a HC job?

I thought the Browns were sticking with Kitchens? Though I guess losing to the Bengals really throws a wrench in that lol.
But the responsibility is on him. With the talent the Browns have, anything less than a 9-7 season is a disappointment. I mean we all saw how good they could be if they had their sh** together. They crushed the ravens, and I honestly think talent wise, they are THAT good. Problem is talent and production aren't on the same page.
No win situation for them, they really got themselves in an "AB" situation. Keep them and run the risk (a good risk) of the circus continuing and getting worse, with occasional glimpses of 'what should be' that just leads to more letdowns. Or dump them both and be doomed to a 1-15 season or worse
That team is their own worst enemy. How many 1 and 2 year head coaches can you keep going thru expecting it to change? Hue Jackson was the only guy Haslam gave any time to see what improvements could be made. Greg Williams had some real momentum at the end of last year, they should have kept him.
Totally blowing it up (again) in Cleveland
Potential HC hires presumably said get back to me if Dorsey goes otherwise no thanks
Wow. That was a big mistake. Dorsey built what is esentially KC's team as it is. I understand getting Kitchens out, but this is utter stupidity IMO.
It Cleveland being well Cleveland. One and done is like a motto there. And now the GM who really found a way to build a solid roster. I'm not sure who said it above. But I do agree they could luck up and hire a decent coach. Damn I hope not

Merry Christmas
I live 50 miles south of Cleveland. I have family there. I would love to see the Browns become relevant again. I'm not a fan, but it would be good for the league if one of the most storied franchises in the NFL would become a viable team again. I don't understand what it is with the Browns.... WHY can't thet get it right!???? WHY do they continually do such stupid shit!!!??? So much talent on that roster right now.................. and they continue to just fuck it up!
