That's a ridiculous stat. How can you consistently win with a revolving door at QB/Head coach?
I know at times the conservative nature of Mike Brown/M Lewis has frustrated me but there's a lot to be said for sticking with your vision and the people you hired or drafted. Just changing things up every 5 minutes never seems to work out and every change brings another rebuilding cycle of hiring /firing.
Apart from injury cover (Fitzmagic) Marvin will probably only have had 2 QB's in Palmer and Dalton by the time he is done as head coach...dread to think how many Browns QB's he'll have faced by the time he is done.
Stability is a double edged sword. The Browns do go about everything wrong. Pretty much draft franchise QB every other year, they've had 7 HCs and 1 interim HC, and a number of GM/Presidents. There is no patience there. Cleveland is a place where they expect the parity of the league to play into effect and reward them right off the bat. I can see Haslam cleaning house after this season and starting over...again.
However, being too stable can also be hazardous. Look at Mike Brown when was in full control before 2011. He would change very little and would expect things to click at some point.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
