Not surprising at all, given the finish to the season.

"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

An easy and obvious decision.
Freddie won’t have attend all those meetings tomorrow!

Whether any of us like it or not it had to be done. We didn't improve from the 1st game until the last game. There really was no reason to keep him based on the season we had.

Unfortunately, there has been a lot of "admitting mistakes and moving on" within the past year.

If so, there is no way he can be trusted to lead another HC search, right?

Leave it to the Browns to hire a coach that was worse than Hue. It was an almost impossible challenge, but the Browns managed to find a way.

I feel bad for Kitchens because he seems to be a very caring person and a nice guy. He just was in over his head.

I think OBJ, Njoku, Higgins, and Landry are throwing a party tonight.

Thank God! Being incompetent and arrogant is not a good combination.
Freddie got his money. Good for him. And good for the Browns for not turning this into another Hue Jackson saga.
Hopefully the organization will exercise due diligence and make the best choice for the players and the fans going into 2020. We certainly deserve it after this latest decade of disdain.
After 55 years, I'm walking away from this dumpster fire. Good luck to everyone who continues to hang on. You'll need it.

I feel bad for Kitchens because he seems to be a very caring person and a nice guy. He just was in over his head. Agree with that 100% ... I bet if any of us spent time with FK - either work or personal life - I almost guarantee we'd love him. Too fast an ascent and not prepared for the difference level of responsibility.

Not surprised. I wanted him to succeed, but it started off bad and never got any better. Definitely the most grueling, mentally draining and exhausting of seasons and worse than our 1-15 and 0-16 season, imho.

Dee and Jimmy didn't sugarcoat that statement.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

Maybe Higgins and Njoku will get another chance under a new HC ...

Nope, basically Freddie tried but sucked

Agreed. IMO with the right coaching hire, a good draft and FA signings we can compete next year for a playoff spot. With the right coaching we could have made it this year, minus the suspensions of course.

Good guy, bad coach. It was the right move. They HAVE to get it right this time and do whatever it takes to make that happen.
