Browns fire kitchens

[Boogievol]

What are the chances that Pruitt fires Chris weinke and brings in Freddie kitchens as the new QB coach? Would he be a more effective recruiter?

He only coached in college for 3 years or so. I think Freddie is more of an NFL guy.

Deserved more time in my opinion.

They need a strong HC to manage that roster.

get ready to be flamed for this question . There are some real winners in here. I don't think he'll fire anyone but I do feel there will be attrition within the staff. And if so I could see Pruitt going after him. Did they coach together at some point?

They could have started by hiring a guy who actually had experience at being the head man

I don't know what type of relationship Pruitt has with weinke but I do recall a "not so friendly" exchange between the two on the sidelines this year.

I'm fairly certain that they played together at alabubba.

That's right!! I remember now.

I think that's why he leaves. Maybe even Ansley. Pruitt dug into both of them numerous times.

Kitchens will have an NFL OC job offer within a week.

 

[Commish14]

I'm not sure on their ages and them playing together but was thinking Kitchens is a little older than Coach Pruitt. If they were in a drinking match though my $$ would be on Freddie...

 

[Boogievol]

Maybe so. If that does happen it seems unlikely that he would take a pay cut to coach QBs at Tennessee, we know Chaney isn't going anywhere.

Does it really surprise anyone that Jimmy can't hire a coach?

Experienced coaches know to stay away from the Browns. The only experienced coach that would even entertain the idea of coaching in Cleveland is Rex Ryan and he sucks.

Really? In most cases I am ok with patience but this year’s Browns team was one that you could just tell every week was so poorly coached imo. Not really Freddie’s fault as he was a running backs coach a year ago, shouldn’t have been given the gig in the first place

I rather have Tosh Lupoi from the Browns coaching staff. He was Alabama's number 1 recruiter before he left.

 

[Big Orange #1]

Forget Freddie, Tosh is on staff. Go get him and recruiting will be bonkers!!

Eh, he seemed way over his head. I mean I know it's the Browns but he made some really dumb decisions.

 

[BadgerVol!]

A good move after a BAD move of hiring him. That organization is a catastrophe

This.

If you can find a way to get Lupoi on staff you do it. Top five recruiter

This is his 6th attempt at it in 7 and a half season's as Browns owner. And Kitchens seems to have been the worst hire so far.

I'll be the first to drop this name,

Butch Jones

If any coach is that much of a snowflake, they should get out of coaching.

He may actually do a decent job in the NFL. Let someone else do the talent evaluations and the players best positions have already been determined for him. His willingness to be dishonest may actually be an asset to him.
