The average Cleveland Browns fan has already lived through a full generation’s worth of bad football. We’re going on three decades now since the franchise was revitalized in 1999, and Cleveland’s beloved Browns have achieved exactly four winning seasons over that 27-year span — while rifling through 12 different head coaches and 10 general managers.
The Browns have never been afraid of hitting the reset button, especially since Jimmy Haslam bought the team in 2012. In fact, Kevin Stefanski quietly reached a pretty significant milestone in franchise history this year, when he became the team’s longest-tenured coach since Bill Belichick’s five seasons from 1991-95; none of the Browns 11 head coaches since had lasted more than three or four years before getting shown the door.
