EX-Browns OL coach Bob Wylie rips Freddie Kitchens, saying QB coach Ken Zampese did all the coaching
Today 4:24 PMCLEVELAND, Ohio — Former Browns offensive line coach Bob Wylie had some harsh words for the Browns organization in a radio interview Saturday.
For starters, he said he was surprised when Freddie Kitchens was hired as head coach considering quarterbacks coach Kenny Zampese was the mastermind behind the Browns’ explosive offense in the final eight weeks of the season.
“Baker (Mayfield) likes Freddie,’’ Wylie said on The Zach Gelb Show on CBS Sports Radio. “There’s a good relationship there even though (former Browns QB coach) Kenny Zampese did all the coaching there. Baker likes Freddie, so that had to (factor) into the decision.’’
Wylie, who was fired after the season along with the most of the assistants hired by Hue Jackson, charged that interim coach Gregg Williams didn’t get the head coaching job because Dorsey didn’t want him.
“My own personal feeling is Gregg was too strong a candidate for the seat,’’ Wylie said on The Zach Gelb Show on CBS Sports Radio. “I don’t think Dorsey wanted to go head-to-head with Williams like he had to do with Andy Reid in Kansas City, so he kind of filtered Gregg out of the picture.’’
Wylie, who left the Browns in late December because of a serious ankle and knee injury, said he heard about his firing from his daughter.
“My daughter called me and said, ‘Hey, dad, you just got fired today,’’ Wylie said. “That’s the first time I head about it.’’

Sorry about the way you were fired. It's all too common in the nfl. Fact is, you were a funny man, but not a very good coach. You didn't even understand the need for stretching.

A nice guy for sure but a dinosaur the Browns needed to move out the building

Yeah, Kenny Zampese was an offensive genius alright!
From Wikipedia.."On September 15, 2017, Zampese was fired by the Bengals after the team started the season 0–2 and did not score a single touchdown."

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
i told y'all this dude gave me the doosh chills during hsrd knocks last year. And THEN i found out he never played a single down of football in his life....apparently not even at the HS level. And he was like a financial advisor or some shit before he "studied up" on how to play o line.
I smelled fraud the instant i saw him on the screen. Ill forgive a former NFL OL for getting that fucking corpulent but not him..

The team stunk with him. I was going to say more but why?

Yup, and if Wilie is right- it begs the question, why didn't Freddie keep him? Instead hiring Todd Monken?

- The thought of Baker picking his HC's is a worry of mine. I flash to how well that worked for LeBron as a Cav...
- Dorsey passing over Williams for the more "pliable" Kitchens was the subtext I saw at Kit's surprise hiring.
