"The Dawg Pound!" The Official Thread of the Cleveland Browns (AFC, NFC)

[USNRET04]

Few football fans fully understand how great the Browns used to be in Pro Football.

Played in 10 STRAIGHT championship games, winning 7 (prior to the SuperBowl moniker).

From 1950-1995 (45 years)

• Only had 5 last place finishes
• 19 First place finishes
• Record of 364-264
• Only 8 losing seasons

What most people and the media look at is after their "re-birth" in 1999. It has been a rough 25 years since.

Here's hoping that the next 25 look much better!

Paul Brown is arguably the greatest coach in pro football history.

Dang straight. I don't think you are going to see the New England Bellichicks playing anytime soon.

Lol. That's a good one.

But everything with regards to adjustments and scouting, Brown innovated. He was also an outstanding high school and college coach in Ohio.

Browns have fired offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, and running back and tight end coaches...

Two horrible choices, but I guess that is the media for you.

If the Browns would have won the division, then I get Stefanski, but they didn't.

As for Garrett, the Browns had the most OVERRATED defense all season, especially down the stretch.
