The Cleveland Browns promoted Freddie Kitchens to head coach Wednesday, which means they hope to get better by hiring from within the organization.
Let that sink in for a moment.
The Browns, the Factory of Sadness, the team that hasn't been to the playoffs since 2002 or won a postseason game since 1994, thinks it can solve its own problems. The most inept franchise in professional sports found the perfect head coaching candidate, and it just happens to be one of the guys sitting in his office in team headquarters.
The Browns, as first reported by ESPN's Chris Mortenson, are hiring from within the organization after a season marred by one of the most epic coaching-staff power struggles in recent memory.
