The Cleveland Browns fired head coach Freddie Kitchens on Sunday.
Kitchens finished his first season as a head coach with a record of 6-10 after the Browns lost to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in the season finale.
He becomes the fifth full-time head coach that co-owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have fired since purchasing the franchise in 2012. Kitchens also joins Rob Chudzinski (2013) as the second head coach fired by the Haslams after just one season.
The Haslams released the normal pre-fabricated statement about the decision, per clevelandbrowns.com:
“We thank Freddie for his hard work and commitment to this organization but did not see the success or opportunities for improvement to move forward with him as our head coach.
