After two and a half years in Cleveland, Hue Jackson was fired as head coach. He will go down as having one of the worst head coaching records in NFL history compiling a 3-36-1 record. Along with Hue Jackson being relieved of coaching duties is offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Both had arguments and a tumultuous relationship leading to the departure of both. With the dismissal of Haley, running backs coach Freddie Kitchens will step up as the offensive coordinator for the rest of the season.
Before Kitchens was a coach in the NFL he was a three-year starting quarterback at Alabama where he went 22-13 and threw for 4,668 yards and 30 touchdowns.
