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.
