Freddie fired
-
Cleveland.com:
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.
His tenure was characterized by a lack of discipline on the part of his players, a woeful passing game, horrible playcalling and an ugly brawl between Myles Garrett and Pittsburgh’s Mason Rudolph that cost the Browns their best defensive player of the final six games of the season.
Kitchens, 45, became the sixth head coach fired by the Browns since the end of 2010, and the fifth since the Haslams took over the team in 2012.
The Browns running backs coach and associate head for the first eight games of last season, Kitchens was in over his head from the start. He was promoted to interim offensive coordinator after Hue Jackson and Todd Haley were fired midseason, and was supported heavily by his veteran offensive staff.
In those final eight games of last season, the Browns averaged 395 yards per game and a league-best 6.86 yards per play. They also scored on their first 12 trips inside the red zone, and surrendered a league-low five sacks in that span. The Browns scored 25 touchdowns in those eight games, tied for sixth in the NFL.
What’s more, Baker Mayfield completed 68 of his attempts for 2,254 yards with 19 touchdowns and only eight interceptions, posting a 106.2 rating. But Fun Freddie disappeared not long after taking over as head coach, and problems appeared from the start.

if this team was in a rebuild and Freddie could grow into the job, he deserved year two. This team going into next year is way too talented for that to be true though. Most importantly though, Kitchens just didn’t get it. This game today he was still making the same mistakes from week one.
Ron Rivera checks off every box for me, I really hope they can lure him in for a look.
Rivera is interviewing f or the washington job

I am seeing nothing in the articles so far about his assistant coaches.....but obviously whomever they choose will want to bring in their own people.

The fact that it happened tonight says that they already have their next former Browns head coach in mind.

I doubt he would have ever been a head coach except in Cleveland.

Washington, maybe Cleveland.
Why am I thinking about "One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest?" Lol
You have the hots for Nurse Ratched?

This article basically says the Browns could literally be the death of Urban Meyer ?

Have a feeling they go for a guy like Rhule

There you go....are they looking for a football coach?

The closer I get to Black Monday, the more I fear Freddie will remain in charge of the Browns. I foresee a press conference talking about stability and how the Fat Man made some mistakes but has grown as a coach, followed by more yada, yada, yada.
I then foresee me not caring about the off season and only posting here - mostly in pink font, after we are once again anointed "The very bestest drafters in the history of drafting" after our next draft day domination.
Then word will come out how hard Baker and OBJ are working together in SoCal, which when combined with the 6 future HoFs that we drafted will spark post after positive post about how the up coming season is going to finally be our year.
^ Hmmmmm, after proof reading all of that, where have I seen this movie before??
Happy New Year everyone.
Have never been so glad to be wrong........... see ya Fat Man, and your entire coaching staff too.
... and your entire coaching staff too.
Thanks... now I have a Wizard of Oz loop playing in my head...

Next HC has to be someone who won’t let loud mouths Landry and OBJ run the team.

Nothing will change until Haslam pulls his head out of his ass and Dorsey stops being an ego maniac.

Don't sweat it man. He always thinks and tries to act as if he is the smartest guy in the room/thread.
And like usual will double down on things he is wrong about.
I'm also pretty sure he STILL has NO idea who Joe Brady is. I also think he saw Brady and referenced 6th round thinking about TB12.
And for someone who talks so much about his travels, to not have a clue why Burrow had Burreaux on his jersey shows just how clueless he is
I knew who Joe Brady was.......I just never heard him called "Coach".
And certainly I know why he had his name changed that way.... Cajun and all that.
And I am the one that said that before this season, Joe Burrow would have been lucky to have been a 6th round pick....ergo the Tom Brady reference.
And you are the one that goes gutless when you are wrong.
You complained about the way I did the trivia....so I said that I was turning the task over to you. And where have you been with it all year? You pussied out on doing it.
When you discontinue being a gutless puss...maybe you can come and criticize.

Hahahaha. No, I said you complain when people don't do it, i.e. saying they must not know if they don't.
You can turn it over all you want, I don't have any interest in doing it.
But please you cocky, unlikable man don't make me go back on all the times you have either been wrong, or just went crazy on someone for having a differing opinion than yours.
But let's play this out for a second, you think every LSU player calls Joe Brady Joe? Or maybe they call him coach, ya know since he is one?
You are also the same person when the Browns, you know YOUR team that you have such strong opinions about, signed a player that actually asked what position that individual played. Yet you have all these other opinions on who/what is good. Now you want to make it seem as you were the 1st person who had Burrow as a later pick. Yet until the post that I read you have called him Burrows every time that I read.
You may not realize this but the way you post, argue, don't listen to any differing opinion, and don't seem to get along with others comes off as Gh**lie Lite.
But we can have a contest pal. Take out each other (You and I) and any interaction with the man not to be named and even go with percentage of posts since you have way more than me. And see how many posts total that each have been wrong and got into an argument/insulted someone. Loser leaves for good. You down with that?

Appreciate the subtle ness of that.
but tend to agree with the general sentiment. This move seems like they have a guy in mind and wanted to make the job available absolutely ASAP. That or they though Freddie was going to steal footballs on the way out.

I'd be shocked if we didn't hire someone almost immediately.
