John Dorsey didn’t have to look too far to find the Cleveland Browns 21st head coach. That’s because he was already in the building.
One day after multiple reports listed Freddie Kitchens as one of two finalists for the Browns coaching vacancy, Chris Mortensen of ESPN revealed Wednesday afternoon that the Browns will hire Kitchens.
Freddie Kitchens will be named new Browns head coach later today, per sources.
