Commentary: Bill Belichick left Cleveland … and then became the greatest ever - BrownsZone with Scott Petrak
It’s always been kind of funny — creepy, but also funny — how the football gods periodically take time out from their busy schedule to remind Cleveland that Bill Belichick once worked here. You’d think that the football gods would have more important things to do, but evidently continually...

You’d think that the football gods would have more important things to do, but evidently continually reminding Browns fans that their team fired the greatest coach in the history of the NFL is an important thing.
Nov. 6, 1995: Browns owner Art Modell announces he is moving the team to Baltimore.
Feb. 9, 1996: NFL owners approve the franchise's move to Baltimore. Also, the NFL announces an agreement with Cleveland that will keep the Browns' name and history in the city for a new team to begin play by 1999.
Feb. 15, 1996: Modell fires Belichick and hires Ted Marchibroda as the head coach of his new Baltimore franchise.

He's not alone. Modell was a disgrace.

In fairness, Cleveland loves to fire their good coaches, and keep their shitty ones forever. Rutigliano, Schottenheimer, even Butch Davis were all playoff coaches that got fired too soon. Meanwhile, Hue Jackson, Mike Pettine and Pat Schurmer (22 combined wins) all get multiple years, and Hue Jackson got almost 3. If the Browns go south this year and miss the playoffs, they'll probably kick Stefanski to the curb, and some team will be very happy to have him.

I was in Cleveland for last Browns home game, pats played in shitsburgh the Saturday so we took in both games. The amount of hate for BB and Modell was insane. Every tree had a modell or BB lynched dummy. The blame was all on BB but that team was on the rise and the browns shit the bed soon after the announcement.
That team had a dream team of coaches and personal people.
