sad to see him go - he is highly respected all around the NFL.
And the rest of the NFL knows he was just a scapegoat.
Check it out:
"
“I cherished AVP. He was an extraordinary fellow and turned out to be beneficial things for us,” Bitonio said, per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Signal Diary. ” I know him and [head mentor Kevin] Stefanski and actually the entire staff worked really hard of getting us in the right plays. I didn’t know anything about [Van Pelt’s] until I saw it on Twitter like every other person, so it’s generally a tad of shock.”
Bitonio remarked further, showing that the decision to continue on from Van Pelt might have been more Stefanski’s than that of senior supervisor Andrew Berry."

Breer: Browns fired Alex Van Pelt because ownership, Paul DePodesta weren’t happy with Deshaun Watson’s progress
Oh C'mon! Does Breer really expect us to believe that Haslem & DePo were behind this? I mean, does it sound at all like those two to get rid of the only guy to call plays to a playoff victory for us this century?
Watson's progress! AVP has had to work with a myriad of QB's the last two seasons....because Watson A) wasn't allowed to play, and b) was injured most of the time. It's AVP's fault. Geeze.

I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

The Bills were pass-heavy with Dorsey calling plays to take advantage of Josh Allen’s passing skills. Allen threw 579 passes (No other Bills player threw a pass last season) in 2023. The Bills ran the ball 385 times — a 60-40 pass-run ratio. Five Browns quarterbacks threw 624 passes. The team ran the ball 518 times — a 55-45 pass-run ratio.
“I think Ken sees it exactly how I see it,” Stefanski said. “You want to play through the strengths of your players. I don’t think either of us or anyone on our offensive staff believes that you have to do one thing to win, because that’s not the reality of life in the NFL.
“You have to be multifaceted. You have to be able to pivot in a game. You have to be versatile in what you’re doing. So, we’ll do what we feel is best for our players in any specific given game, because that changes game to game as well.”
Continuity was a strength of the coaching staff the first three years during Stefanski’s reign as head coach. Now change is viewed as a strength. The changes began last year when Jim Schwartz was hired to replace the fired Joe Woods as defensive coordinator and Bubba Ventrone was hired to replace the fired Mike Priefer as special teams coordinator.
Now change has revamped the offensive side of the ball — new offensive coordinator, new running backs coach, new tight ends coach and a new offensive line coach.
--------------------------
Last year it was a defensive redo. This year it's the offense.
You have to be multifaceted. Yes. If for no other reason than if one of your facets gets thwarted, you actually do have another facet to turn to. We saw this just this very season. We started the season where we left off previous seasons...a #1 or #2 rushing team. But with injuries to Chubb and the Offensive Tackle positions such that we were starting #'s 5 & 6 on the depth chart....we wound up not being able to run the ball hardly at all. Fortunately Flacco rolled into town in the nick of time to resurrect our passing attack and together with the defense, carry the team to a playoff birth.
You have to be multifaceted. Yes. But one facet does have more luster. The passing attack is more valuable when time is of the essence. When you need to quickly get down field for a FG attempt before the half. Or if you fall behind...it's not like you're going to RUN yourself back into the game. It's a passer's league. The rules limit what a defensive back can do to a receiver. But a running back running with the ball? He's fair game for just about any type of hit or tackle.
Stef thinks that he and Dorsey think alike. That's a good start. Let's see what Berry and team can do in FA to get the new OC the players he needs, like was done for Schwartz last year.
