That's too bad, he had the Browns playing well in the first half the season, before they started getting all the QB injuries. But then they lost their final 7 games after starting 4-5.

This was shocking to me. I decided to go over to a browns forum and most of their fans are raging over this, and rightfully so.

I have never really expressed my feelings towards our own coaching staff because it appears it's going to happen whether I like it or not. But look no further than the Cleveland Browns if you want see what I fear this team may become if we continue to turnover the coaching staff within a few years of hiring them. Patience and continuity seem to be forgotten values in the majority of NFL teams

From what I'm hearing on TV, some of their players are very upset and angry about it too. Apparently, one of them referred to the organization as "dysunctional".

Well said and I share that same fear. I find myself really questioning whether going with stability and continuity might be the better course of action for the Vikings.

I have the same concern, but with Frasier and company, he never showed any improvement or ability to adjust mid game. I think they need to get an established coach (if Coughlin is fired, I will go get him myself). The need some stability here and the only real way to get that is hire someone established.

And for the record, it is absolutely asinine that the Browns are doing this. I don't know what they expected, but Cleveland did great for the first half of the season considering certain things. And they still have a ton of draft picks from Atlanta and Indianapolis to work with.

Head coaches rarely only coach for one year. It must be awful being a Browns fan. Their ownership is a joke.

Poor Browns fans. One of the most cursed franchises in the NFL. What a bum #### owner, GM, and president Cleveland has.
