CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Pink slips were flying in the brisk October breeze as the Cleveland Cavaliers fired head coach Tyronn Lue Sunday while the Browns followed suit on Monday and fired head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
The Cavaliers were 0-6 at the time of Lue's firing while the Browns had just lost to Pittsburgh to go 2-5-1. Neither team was living up to expectations.
Lue wasn't playing some of the younger players that the front office wanted him to play while Jackson and Haley didn't see eye-to-eye over which personnel to use in the Brown's offense.
