How Much Power Does ZT Have?

It doesn't take some rare alignment of circumstances to win.

Our division is as bad as I can remember it ever being this year...and we're 0-5. A team without Roethlisberger thumped us.

The fact is, people want to blame injuries...but had we had better coaching...we probably have 2 or 3 wins right now. Better playcalling would go a long way.

The Browns have not had a winning season in over 10 years.  Seems like the Browns changed coaches every other year or something.  I think they will fire Kitchens sometime this year unless they go on win streak.  Browns have tremendous talent or so they say but they are not producing.  

An argument can be made that the Browns coaching staff is incompetent given the talent.  But then again, this team turns over coaching staff more often than other teams.   Expectations soared when the Browns believe Mayfield was the missing piece at QB.  

Using the Browns as a gauge, should the Front Office of the Browns fire the coaching staff again this year?  How has that helped the Browns over the years?  

Love him, hate him, but Mike Brown likes stability.  Bengals kept Lewis too long but the stability took them to 6 playoffs while the Browns have yet had a winning season.  

I think Taylor had say in hiring of coaching staff.  He wanted that DC from Florida who apparently really knows his stuff.  I think he wanted Bill Callahan for O-Line but was denied.  He has made some bad decisions and I do not think he calls competent plays as OC.  But I will say this, the O-line had several players retire unexpectedly and it hurt the entire offense.  This "trash" of a team with "incompetent" coaches could be 3-2 if a play here and there went their way.  I see glimpses of a potent offense mixed with disaster plays and execution.  when they do get good chunks, someone like Hart has a penalty.  

The defense is a disaster with exception of Seattle game.  I think some coaches should be replaced.  But as pointed out earlier regarding the Browns, firing the entire coaching staff is not the answer.  

Turner needs to be replaced by Bill Callahan by next year and Sweet Lou can take a walk.  Start there.  Also Fire Tobin!
