PITTSBURGH -- Hard as it is to believe, the Browns have fired coach Rob Chudzinski after only one season.

At about 9:35 Sunday night, the team sent out a release announcing they fired Chudzinski after his 4-12 inaugural season, one that ended with a 20-7 loss to Pittsburgh Sunday for the club's seventh straight loss and tenth in 11 games.
The team called a press conference for 12:30 p.m. Monday and issued the following unattributed statement:
"We appreciate Chud's passion for the Browns, and we have great respect for him both personally and professionally. We needed to see progress with this football team. We needed to see development and improvement as the season evolved and, unfortunately, we took a concerning step backward in the second half of the year.
"Our fans deserve to see a consistently competitive team. We have high standards, and there's an urgency for success. When we believed we were not positioned to achieve significant progress in 2014, we knew we had to admit that a change was needed, and move forward.
"Browns fans are the most loyal and passionate supporters in the NFL. We're fully committed to bringing them the winning football team they deserve."

This must go beyond wins and losses.

It will either take a lot of money or someone really dumb to take this job.

Good place for coaches to go and ruin their careers.

It's a team with a very goo defense, and one that a defensive minded coach can do the "Buddy Ryan" style of football of focusing everything around the D, and have an offense that makes no mistakes. I hate to even fathom this idea, but this would be a perfect first head coaching job for Mike Zimmer!

Rob Chudzinski didn't even make it 12 months. Got hired on January 10th and fired on December 29th. Awesome job, Browns. Truly great.

With franchises like Cleveland,Dallas,Jets and Jacksonville make Mike Brown look like he is smart owner and this was real hard to do. There is several more franchises out there that are just as bad as the ones I named.
