Cleveland Browns make it official with Freddie Kitchens

The Cleveland Browns have made it official that Freddie Kitchens is their head coach, and did so with a humorous video from their new boss

We have known it for a couple of days now, but the Cleveland Browns have made it official. The team announced that their deal with Freddie Kitchens to become their next head coach is official.

And after making it so, they released a humorous video where Kitchens recalls his press conference when he first became the interim offensive coordinator for the Browns.

In that press conference, Kitchens started things off by saying he had never been offered a head coaching job. In his introductory video, he tells fans that that has changed and he’s the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

The original comment Kitchens made was in reference to the opening press conference for Gregg Williams, who was named the interim coach for the final eight games of the season.

Williams was talking up his ability to lead the team and said since his last stint as a head coach (which was in 2003 with the Buffalo Bills) he was offered 11 head coaching jobs — four of which he didn’t even need to interview for, they were simply his for the taking.

Kitchens had fun with the comment and got the room laughing. He’s still having a good time and the fans are right there along with him. Kitchens has quickly become a favorite as the team and fanbase all believe he can continue to get the team playing above expectations.

Cleveland was 5-3 in the second half of the season with Williams and Kitchens in charge. While Williams got the record, Kitchens’ offense was pointed to as the main reason for the turnaround.
