Cleveland Browns - An Unstable Sports Franchise.
The number of Super Bowl appearances for the Browns: zero.
For the 2014 season, the Browns will have its 3rd head coach in 3 years.
Now compare Cleveland to two of the Browns' divisional opponents.
Baltimore Ravens
The Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens in 1996. Over the past 18 Ravens seasons:
- 3 head coaches
- 2 Super Bowl appearances
- 2 Super Bowl wins
Pittsburgh Steelers
Seems like a fairly stable and successful organization.
- 3 head coaches since 1970
- 8 Super Bowl appearances
- 6 Super Bowl wins
Pitt and Balt
Since 1970 for the Steelers and Ravens combined:
- 52 total seasons
- 6 head coaches
- 10 Super Bowl appearances
- 8 Super Bowl wins
Poor Cleveland
In the late 1990s, the NFL granted Cleveland a new Browns team which began play in 1999.
With the firing of Chud earlier this week, the Browns have already digested 7 head coaches in the past 15 seasons.
I think being unstable works for pro wrestling but not for pro football.
