[Mel Kiper's Hair]

Freddie Kitchens will be the next coach of the Cleveland Browns. Interim coach and DC Gregg Williams has been dismissed by the team.

Imo he earned that job last year! That team was a tough out and no one wanted to face them.  (They almost ended the Ravens season 1 week early, and they had nothing to play for)

I really felt  that was  coming.  Not keeping Williams, not hiring Eberflus, Not Hiring  another Offensive guy since Kitchens was interviewed (or risk losing both their DC and OC). 

 

On another note, are teams following the revised Rooney rule? (Minority candidate(s) interviewed must be outside their organization to fulfill it).

I think Gregg Williams ends up in Arizona, unless he is fine with working with Kitchens as DC.

Gregg Williams was dismissed by the Browns so he is free to go anywhere.

Smart decision. Now their offensive scheme will continue regardless of who the O.C. is. This is a good day for Baker Mayfield.

Ending the revolving door that is the Brown HC job is the best move.  A young QB that is doing well doesn't need the chaos of a new system to learn.

CLE making solid moves is going to take some geting used to.

I knew as soon as Dorsey (a real football guy) was hired it was going to change the Browns.  It seemed to me at the time that many here thought the Browns would change him instead (especially after he drafted Mayfield over Darnold...)
