The Cleveland Browns are making headlines in a big way this fine Monday.
First they fired head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley. That’s all very understandable.
However, the team’s next move left many in a state of bewilderment or just plain old tear-inducing laughter, as Gregg Williams was reportedly named the interim head coach.
Yes. Mr. Bountygate himself — a man who’s not exactly a bastion of emotional stability.
The NFL must be thrilled. #Bountygate https://t.co/aYmbyxU1FH

YES. Them, hire Tomsula to run the defense. Would be the most entertaining pair of coaches ever. https://t.co/cjYQ9c5ffy
