Cleveland Browns - an unstable sports franchise

And 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 view two of the Browns' divisional opponents.

The Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens in 1996:
- 3 total head coaches during the Ravens history
- 2 Super Bowl appearances
- 2 Super Bowl wins

And for a fairly stable org like the Pittsburgh Steelers:
- 3 head coaches since 1970
- 8 Super Bowl appearances
- 6 Super Bowl wins

Since 1970 for the Steelers and Ravens combined:
- 52 total seasons
- 6 head coaches
- 10 Super Bowl appearances
- 8 Super Bowl wins

In the late 1990s, the NFL granted Cleveland a new Browns team which began play in 1999. As noted above, 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.
