	Head coach Kevin Stefanski specifically mentioned that energy when he spoke about Bravo-Brown's new position on his coaching staff — Bravo-Brown is moving from defensive quality control coach to assistant special teams coach for 2022. He'll work with special teams coordinator Mike Priefer, a coach who also exudes a high level of energy and emotion on the field.
</p>

<p>
	It's a pairing Stefanski believes will work well as the Browns attempt to elevate their special teams units for next season. The move will also provide Bravo-Brown with another layer of coaching experience as Stefanski strives to develop many of the young, promising football minds on his coaching staff. 
</p>

<p>
	"Bravo is a guy that's done great work for us the last couple years," Stefanski said. "He brings tremendous enthusiasm and passion to everything he does, and I know he's excited about this opportunity."
</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>
	ST's was a weak spot last year.  This year we'll do some on-the-job training.

	Bill Cowher was like that when he was our ST's coach.  But you're right of course.  We've gotta be able to get the 3 points.  We watched teams bomb kicks of well over 50 yards on us all year long.  And we don't even consider trying them.  Game in and game out, it's a clear advantage for our opponent(s).

	For a bunch of people who hate communism, they really have a knack for trying to replicate the USSR.

<p>
	Perhaps a headquarters - a Central Committee, even - could inform us of the One True Way a football coach should look.

<p>
	Swing and a miss.. This was an internal promotion, not an external hire.
</p>



<p>
	Colman has now been fired from 3 NFL teams in a row - as assistant special teams coordinator at each [Houston, 2018; Dallas, 2019]. 
</p>

<p>
	Fairly clear Colman was hired based solely on something other than performance.
