Paul Brown is in there so King doesn't have to pick Belichick first.
I agree. The reason he picked Brown and not, say, Halas or Lambeau is he knows no Patriot fan will argue with him on twitter.One guy who'd pick Brown over Belichick, I think, is Belichick.
Was Cleveland even an NFL team when Brown coached? I'm not sure. He does have some remarkable accomplishments, though.
The Browns started in the AAFC, won their 4 championships, then that league merged with the NFL and were in the next 6 NFL championships, winning 3 of them. (Or did they win 4, I forget)
Yes, then Model forced him out. LaterModel fired Belichick. Cleveland cheered each move, so they get no symapathy from me when the guy who drove out Brown moved the team.Paul Brown was the BB of his day. But I agree with you.
BTW, Brown started the Cincinnati Bengals of the AFL whose early uniforms were basically the Browns with the word B-E-N-G-A-L-S on their helmet.
