Quitting on Cleveland

The Browns, also known as the Factory of Sadness, assigned Kyle Shanahan the responsibility of turning Johnny Manziel into a starting NFL quarterback. Shanahan disagreed that Manziel had the potential to be an NFL starter.

Again, Shanahan had another quarrel with another team’s front office.

Before things got to nasty, Shanahan requested that he be released from his contract. The Browns agreed. In 2014 the Atlanta Falcons took him on to be the team’s OC under HC Dan Quinn.

In his first season as ATL’s OC, Shanahan took plenty of criticism after the team struggled to perform. The team’s biggest issues came from its failure to score in the red zone.

These are the facts. If Shanahan was in court defending his position as to why he deserves to be a team’s HC, this is what the prosecution would use against him.

However, as it is often the case, there are two sides to every tale.
