Browns (on Freddie Kitchens): "We didn't see opportunities for improvement"

Cleveland.com

After failing miserably in the Season of Great Expectations, he became the second head coach in the new Browns era to to be one-and-done, the team announced Sunday night.

He was fired after returning home from Sunday’s 33-23 loss to the Bengals with a 6-10 record, joining Rob Chudzinski as the second coach in the past seven seasons to bow out after only one season.

Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam will be conducting their fifth head coaching search since they took over the team in 2012. Their longest-tenured coach was Hue Jackson, who lasted eight games into his third season. The new man will be the Browns’ 12th head coach since they returned in 1999.

Bad hire to begin with. Bigger question: are the Hslam's even capable of doing anything smart?

The Browns can’t get out of their own stupid damned way.

Rivera would be good hire for the Skins. Dumped Allen FINALLY.

... working and make Kitchens the head coach. They also had a good coach in Chudzinski but they
got rid of him because he didn't want Johnny Manziel.
