Top 5 Head Coaches in Cleveland Browns History

Since 1999, when the Browns returned as an expansion franchise, there has been a revolving door of head coaches. Before this period, however, Cleveland's coaching tradition was far more stable, and there were many successes to be celebrated.

Over the first 29 years of the franchise's existence, only three men coached the team—and over the next 21 years only seven made the play calls. Unfortunately, coaching stability dropped off after that. Since 1999 there have been 11 head coaches in 22 seasons (and a 12th will wear a headset for the 2020 season). Only one coach since 2008 has posted a winning record, but eight have taken the Browns to the postseason—and two have won championships.
