After the Hue Jackson and Sashi Brown debacle, the Browns were finally starting to work their way up from rock bottom. They had solid talent throughout the team, and a young quarterback they could believe in. Unfortunately there was one last mistake the Browns had to make and it was hiring Freddie Kitchens to be their head coach. He seemed like he'd be fun to have a beer with though.

Justin Gilbert, Josh Gordon, Johnny Manziel. Separately they had their own demons off the field, but together in one locker room? It was too much for any team to handle. Marijuana suspensions, benchings, arrests, rehabs, rolled up $100 bills and inflatable swans - the Browns wanted to make headlines for winning but what they got was back page blowouts.

Randy Lerner never wanted to own the Browns, so 10 years after his father's death he sold the team for the tidy sum of $1 Billion. The new owner Jimmy Halsam was supposed to be Cleveland's very own Jerry Jones...until his Pilot Flying J company was raided by the FBI. It probably won't affect the team on the field though...right?

Perhaps draft defense and get a stud like Luke Kuechly or Chandler Jones. Or just maybe the "bustproof" RB and a quarterback who was older than most of the team's veterans. Cleveland is on the clock.

It was 2009 and Browns owner Randy Lerner was once again looking for the head coach to lead the team to the promised land. What he got was a Jets castoff with a huge micromanagement problem in Eric Mangini. Then for good measure he hired Super Bowl winning coach Mike Holmgren...to not coach. This would go well... said nobody.

The 2007 season started with the Browns trading their opening day starting QB after the first week. It ended as one of the most memorable Browns seasons of all time.
