The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including Freddie Kitchens being able to manage an extra workload.
Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens earned the head coaching gig this offseason because of his creativity and effectiveness calling plays last season.
But now that he is controlling the entire team as well as remaining the team’s offensive play-caller, there is some concern that he may get overwhelmed being a first-time head coach.

"In addition to Monken, Kitchens has strong coordinators in Steve Wilks on defense and Mike Priefer on special teams that will enable him to focus on the offense. He also has an associated head coach in Campen with vast experience and a Super Bowl ring."
One of the biggest reasons Kitchens can manage play-calling duties as the head coach is because he did an excellent job of hiring his staff. There is plenty of experience on the staff that allows Kitchens to bounce around the team and not have to give extra attention to a certain area.
