Onward and upward

Well it’s about time.

Congratulations Freddie Kitchens on your new job as head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

Not that everyone wondered whether all those reports emanating from Berea this past week were just a figment of someone’s imagination.

No, the media had it right all along and someone important in the Browns’ hierarchy apparently decided to have some fun with the timing of the announcement.

It arrived late Saturday morning and Browns Nation heaved a collective sigh of relief, at the same time probably uttering, “Okay, now tell us something we don’t know.”

The big splash will take place Monday morning when at least Kitchens – and maybe some of his new coaching staff – is formally introduced as the 17^th full-time head coach of the franchise, which was born in 1946.

The Cone of Silence will be lifted at that time and Browns fans around the globe will finally get to know all there is to know about the new boss.

And a new era in Cleveland Browns football will be launched.
