Why was Amos Jones hired
-
Special Teams absolutely blow, and apparently he's never had a ST unit ranked above 25 in the league over a season
How did he get the job?!

Because we are still tanking?

He has to be personal friends with someone on staff. He’s never fielded a decent special teams.

Someone probably thought he made chocolate chip cookies!

2Because we're the Browns?
And that is what the Browns do.

I've seen the Cleveland Browns field some of the very best special team units in the league. But we had better coaches then too.
It has literally been years.

I particularly enjoyed the delay-of-game penalty on the last extra point.

I posted this very subject the morning after the Jets game. He is terrible.

The special teams were great under Brad Seely 2009-2010.
They were passable under Chris Tabor 2011-2017
They awful under Amos Alonzo Fagg.
I've never seen us worse on punt returns, and it is not the punter's fault, his kicks are long with plenty of air. The gunners aren't getting there, and when they do, they don't tackle well.
None of the special teams units are good right now, none of them.

On a positive note...our new kicker looked much more solid this week.

Back when l was younger and more athletic, l ran track. More specifically, l was a hurdler.
When you are a hurdler, there are 2 events to deal with. The 110 M and 300 M hurdles. The 110 was the event that we all gave a shìt about. The glory event. The Coup de gras of hurdling. The only thing that mattered.
The 300 was the ugly redheaded stepsister with gonnoreah event for hurdlers. No one wanted to deal with that.
I get the impression that being a special teams coach is akin to the 300 M hurdles. The few that care only care because they suck at the 110, and they suck because they suck but they are there because they care.
My last year running l realized l sucked so l cared about the 300. I managed a few points for my team with that philosophy.
With this in mind, yeah, make Josh Cribbs the ST coach. Seriously. Caring about it is half the battle here, and if being a ST coach is a microcosm of being a head coach, then give him an assistant who knows kicking and a Moneyball assistant type and let him lead and inspire.

I am tired of excuses for losing.
Obviously we had the talent to match up with all four of our opponents, be we could only manage one win.
If we lose to Baltimore at home, I think the entire coaching staff should be fired after being forced to watch Amos Jones being dragged outside and shot.

I know I shouldn't, but I laughed a lot to this.
