Cleveland Browns News: Freddie Kitchens wins in press conference

The Daily Dawg Tags keep you up to date on all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, like how Freddie Kitchens again impressed with his press conference
On Monday, the Cleveland Browns officially introduced the world to their new head coach as Freddie Kitchens held his opening press conference. The down to earth coach wasn’t flashy — which he never is — but he was genuine, engaging, and funny.
Kitchens once again won the press over, as well as the fans with his personality. He’s also made it clear he’s not there to self promote, and never has done so.
Perhaps that hurt him in the past as it took him a while to get recognized, but that humility is encouraging following the hubris shown by head coach Hue Jackson who did nothing but self promote.

"“That’s a good question, though,” Kitchens said, getting back on topic. “Would you have thought I would have used the word facetious? Secondly, would you know that facetious is one of two words in the English language that every vowel is in order, all right, and it contains every vowel of the English language?”I didn’t know that. I asked Kitchens what the other one was.“I can’t tell you that,” he said to laughs."
Kitchens sense of humor continues to win people over. He’s also proving to be exactly what this team needs and even if there are those outside of the organization that don’t get it, the Browns landed a good coach here.
Coaching staff a home run on paper
Freddie Kitchens was a fan favorite, but he wasn’t the only coach that was hired that made us all happy. The Browns rounded out quite a staff and have given Kitchens plenty of talented coaches to work with. Martin McConnell looks at them all and says they’re a home run.
Cleveland Browns: Freddie Kitchens calling plays as HC is not a concern
After news broke that Kitchens still plans to call plays, Dan Justik says this won’t be a concern. Yes, the coach will have a lot on his plate, but they excelled with him pulling the strings on offense in the final eight games of 2018.
"The guest list was appropriately star-studded, featuring baseball talent like Justin Turner and Eric Hosmer, celebrities like Jamie Foxx and Adam Sandler and other athletes including ex-Indiana Pacer Reggie Miller and Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. Mayfield is no stranger to playing on Sundays, so of course he brought his A-game:"
Mayfield hit what looked like a harmless popup, but somehow turned it into a home run and even leaped over a tag. Typical Baker just getting it done.
