Mike Pettine (in Black sweatsuit) and Ray Farmer
CLEVELAND, Ohio-The Cleveland Browns have fired coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer following a 3-13 season.
Pettine went 10-22 in two years and dropped 18 of his final 21 games after a promising 7-4 start in 2014. The Browns announced Pettine's and Farmer's dismissals shortly after the team's 28-12 home loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, who wiggled into the AFC playoffs.
"We greatly appreciate Ray's and Mike's dedication and hard work while with the Cleveland Browns," Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam said in a letter to fans. "We've made this decision because we don't believe our football team was positioned well for the future. We are all disappointed with where we are, and we take full responsibility."
