I'm not sure when exactly the Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens.... that's interesting. 

I'm going to have to do some research on this. 

I know I had done that research before, and I believe it is as I said:   he was fired after the settlement was reached.

@the-gipper said:

Well.....I don't know if he was technically hired to be HC.  Parcells said he was handing the job over to BB,  but BB declined. 

Though, he did write on a napkin "I resign as the HC of the NYJ".....though, I think it is a question whether or not there was an actually hiring,  of if he note should have said "I decline to accept the offer to be the HC of the NYJ".   

I do know that on the Jets  PFR site, there is no mention of him as being their coach, nor on his personal site. 

So....I don't know.  Good question.

A similar question arises as to whether or not he was ever the HC of the Baltimore Ravens.    From what I understand, the settlement agreement that would allow  the creation of the Baltimore franchise and the assignment of player and coaches contracts to that new entity had been made while BB was still the coach.   But Modell fired him, not wanting him to be a part of his B-more franchise.  

Similar situation.

Maybe!!, technically,  BB has been the HC of the Browns, Ravens, Jets, and Pats,    but in one case the Ravens didn't want him and in the other he didn't want the Jets. 

Interesting. 

What say you?

Technically, wasn't Belichick hired to be the Jets head coach, and then he changed his mind the next day and walked away from the job?
