There’s still a segment of Cleveland Browns fans who loathe Bill Belichick, and always will.
Belichick’s first run as an NFL head coach didn’t generate much fanfare. He cut beloved QB Bernie Kosar during the middle of the 1993 season, and became the face of the franchise’s move to Baltimore as his tenure literally crumbled to a close with a 37-45 overall record at the end of the 1995 season. That Belichick later landed with the New England Patriots and helped lead one of the greatest sports dynasties ever was just more salt in the wound.
