The Cleveland Browns made a coaching decision on Wednesday that could have a slight ripple effect across the NFL. The team elected to hire their offensive coordinator, Freddie Kitchens, to be their next head coach. Kitchens got the promotion instead of interim head coach Gregg Williams. And now, Williams’ time with the Browns is done.
According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, Williams has been relieved of his duties by the Browns as of Wednesday morning. This is a sensible decision, as the promotion of Kitchens would have made it awkward for Williams to return to the team.
