The trick-play, occasional wishbone stylings of Kitchens, the one-time Arizona Cardinals tight ends coach calling NFL plays for the first time, are less a testament to his offensive innovation and more an indictment of the intractable boorishness of the guys who got fired.
The last two weeks proved just how awful Hue Jackson and Todd Haley were together, allowing their ego-driven ineptitude to derail the rookie season of Baker Mayfield.
All the Browns have said in praising Kitchens are things that any players would say about any qualified NFL play callers who don’t let their own stubborn arrogance get in the way of what’s best for the team.
If the Browns could do it, they should fire Jackson and Haley again.
