Does anybody remember Belichick’s tenure at Cleveland? Didn’t set the world on fire. Somethings take time.
He was better than you remember. In 1994 they went 11-5 and won a playoff game. In 1995 SI picked them to win the Super Bowl a week before the season the teams impending move to Baltimore became public and threw the seasons off the rails. Its was a distraction no team could survive. After the season model cleaned house house and fired everyone wanting to start fresh in a new city. The only dumber thing Model did than moving was firing Belichick. If the Browns would have stayed in Cleveland Belichick would have would have won the Browns multiple Super Bowls.
