Yep, just keep firing coaches every year, Cleveland, that’s the way to build stability.....not.
Bet you still had one of those coaches you fired, now if only I could remember his name, I think it was Beli-something.
It was the Ravens that fired Belichick, when they were just about to leave Cleveland. But your point about stability at Cleveland is well taken. They seem to make all the wrong moves, and then they realize it and make some more of them. I sometimes wonder if some cities just have trouble winning because of something intrinsic to the city, rather than the owners, coaches or players. San Diego seems to be the kind of town that can’t motivate a team to greatness. Cleveland seems destined for heartbreak, but move the team to Baltimore, and they win twice. Probably a whacky theory, but I think city plays a bigger part than people realize.
It's amazing how many owners, who get there by being smart about SOMETHING, prove to be so stupid about football.
How many games in a row did the Browns lose this season? And while Belichek is a good coach, he was universally despised by the people of Cleveland. Very unpleasant personality.
In fairness to Browns ownership, the fact that he was hired by the Browns indicates that he was probably a terrible head coach. Paradoxically, Cleveland might actually be making the best personnel decisions in the entire league.
