Chris Palmer
| Chris Palmer had been the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1998 when he was hired as the first coach of the "New" Browns. He was highly touted as a brilliant offensive mind, as the Jag's O was unstoppable at times, especially in the 63 point playoff preformance against the Dolphins in the previous year. Palmer's first Browns team went an understandable 2-14 as there was a lack of talent and depth. The next year, the Browns started off an impressive 2-1, but finished a dismal 1-12 as injuries plagued them all year. Although it is rumored that Palmer got fired for claiming that the team could only muster 6 victories in 2002, a more likely reason is the standard that Carolina and Jacksonville set for expansion teams, coupled with the total lack of offense in 2001. Palmer was replaced with Butch Davis |
