Garrett Bush of host of The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, Locked On Browns Podcast, and The Barbershop 92.3 The Fan gives the reason why Browns never learn from their mistakes. G. Bush will give you The Reason Cleveland Browns Head Coaches Always Make The Same Mistakes. We will also take a look at past and present Brown's Head Coaches that failed to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors.
Butch Davis
Term: 2001-2004
Record: 24-34
Butch Davis resigned after nearly four years with the Browns. He dealt with a quarterback controversy when he started backup Kelly Holcomb for an injured Tim Couch, then kept Holcomb in the starting role. Davis is the only coach on this list to lead the Browns in a playoff game. Cleveland lost in the 2002 Wild Card game to the Steelers, 33-36. He later returned to coaching at the collegiate level, at North Carolina and FIU.
Romeo Crennel
Term: 2005-2008
Record: 24-40
Romeo Crennel first worked for the Browns as defensive coordinator in 2000. The following season, he coached under Bill Belichick at the New England Patriots. Crennel returned to Cleveland as head coach in 2005. He led the Browns to a 10-6 record in 2007, their second winning-record since returning to the league in 1999. But the team failed to make the playoffs. Browns owner Randy Lerner fired him soon after getting ride of general manager Phil Savage. Crennel got another head coaching gig with the Kansas City Chiefs. Since 2018, he’s served as assistant coach and defensive coordinator of the Houston Texans.
Eric Mangini
Term: 2009-2010
Record: 10-22
Eric Mangini began his coaching career under Bill Belichick (Noticing a theme here?) at the Cleveland Browns. The two reunited in New England and then, in 2009, Mangini became the next head coach of the Browns. During his time in Cleveland, he handled a lengthy list of starting quarterbacks: Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace and Colt McCoy. The 2010 season was the year of running back Peyton Hillis. (What a time to be alive.) Like other coaches of Cleveland’s past, Mangini found other NFL jobs. He was a tight ends coach and defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. And don’t forget, he’s a three-time Super Bowl champion.
Rob Chudzinski
Term: 2013
Record: 4-12
It was one and done for this Ohio native. He was the Browns tight ends coach in 2004, and the offensive coordinator from 2007 to 2008. So it was a shock when the man who said he’s a, “Cleveland Brown to the core” was fired as head coach. He spent the following four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.
Mike Pettine
Term: 2014-2015
Record: 10-22
Mike Pettine was the defensive coordinator for the New York Jets, then the Buffalo Bills before coming to Cleveland. But the Browns continued their trend of finishing fourth in the AFC North. The Browns fired Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer, who drafted Johnny Manziel. This is marks the rise of Sashi Brown. Don’t worry about Pettine. He’s settled nicely into his current role as defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers.
Hue Jackson
Term: 2016-2018
Record: 3-36
On paper, Hue Jackson seemed like a decent choice to be the next head coach of the Cleveland Browns. He had an extensive career at the collegiate level before making the jump to the NFL as running backs coach with the Washington Redskins. He worked for years with the Cincinnati Bengals, helping along the wide receiver duo of Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmanzadeh. As Browns head coach, the team had a winless season and a .088 winning percentage. Jackson was let go midseason. Things got a little heated when the Bengals brought him on as a special assistant to the head coach.
Freddie Kitchens
Term: 2019
Record: 6-10
It was easy to like Freddie Kitchens at first. Especially with lines like, “If you don’t wear brown and orange, you don’t matter.” He got us and Browns fans love a guy who gets us. But “getting us” only gets you so far. Kitchens worked his way up through the Arizona Cardinals organization before coming to Cleveland as the running backs coach. When the Browns axed Hue Jackson and Todd Haley, Kitchens got a big promotion to offensive coordinator. He also got a lot of credit for helping Baker Mayfield with his rookie season. So much credit that he was named head coach. Between the poor clock management, questionable play design and even worse play callings, it’s no surprise Kitchens was fired after one season.
Kevin Stefanski
Term: 2020- Present
Record: 22-18
Stefanski left Minnesota to become the Browns' head coach in 2020, where he led the team to their first playoff appearance since 2002. He was named NFL Coach of the Year after the season, becoming the first Browns coach to receive the honor since 1975 and the first following the franchise's 1999 return as an expansion team.
