I'd heard that the organization had Zamp on a short leash after the 2016 season (heard Dehner say as much on the radio), so they were probably ready for him to be the first sacrificial lamb.
Funny thing is, I was listening to one of the national ESPN guys talk about how Cleveland had a guy (Zampese) who "knows how to coach quarterbacks". Maybe he does and was just out of his depth with the OC role, but I found it odd to hear him mentioned as a strength for a team. His offense was an unmitigated disaster while he was OC.
It was both Zamp and PA. Thats what i meant by frankenstein scheme, cause according to Lazor and Dalton it
was a mix of Jay's and Hue's scheme and it was growing stale. Zamp just didn't have the Offensive mind i guess
to create his own playbook. Lazor certainly has the mind to do so which is awesome and now doesn't have an
O-line coach that will sabotage his Offense.
Also about Zamp knowing how to coach up QB's, i never liked how his QB's threw so many pick 6's.
Hopefully the same thing happens with Mayfield when he is playing us lol.
Good to hear from you again BTW Samhain.

True that Harley, it takes time to come out of that shit.
Was honestly impressed with his Offense the last 6 games except for the Bears debacle where it seemed the entire
team quit on Marv. But the running game was just totally different and we could actually see what we had in Mixon
a bit when he was not injured. Expecting a monster year out of this man once the O-line starts gelling.
