Ex-Browns Assistant Bob Wylie Downplays Freddie Kitchens's Role in 2018 Offense

Former Browns assistant coach Boby Wylie appeared on The Zach Gelb Show on CBS Radio on Saturday and took aim at how much impact coach Freddie Kitchens had on Cleveland's offense last season after he became the offensive coordinator in the second half of the campaign.

Wylie, who was fired following the 2018 season, explained how other assistants played a bigger role in making the offense improve after coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley were fired following the team's 2-5-1 start.

Additionally, Wylie noted that the reasons Kitchens got the head coaching job over interim coach Gregg Williams were Kitchens's relationship with quarterback Baker Mayfield and how Kitchens would be less combative with general manager John Dorsey than Williams.
