For the ninth time since the Cleveland Browns returned to the National Football League, they have hired a head coach who is willing to talk a big game about his plans for the team’s immediate future. For the first time, perhaps, there may actually be people starting to believe him.
Freddie Kitchens, who began the 2018 regular season as the Browns’ running backs coach, took over the offensive coordinator job midseason after the team let go of Head Coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley. He took over Haley’s job, and he did that so well that now he’s taking over Jackson’s on a full-time basis.
