The Cleveland Browns haven’t had much success finding stability at the offensive coordinator position…for a while now. The last time they had a reasonably competent offensive coordinator was the one year they had Kyle Shanahan in 2014, and by no coincidence, they also finished 7-9 that year (for perspective, Steelers fans, this is good by their standards).
That was Mike Pettine’s first year. The next year, he had John DeFilippo. In 2016 and 2017, Hue Jackson as head coach was his own offensive coordinator. Todd Haley was thrust upon him for 2018, and then both of them were fired mid-year, Haley being replaced by Freddie Kitchens, who would have an embarrassing year as head coach and play-caller last year.
