NFL Week 6, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat

5. Freddie Kitchens
Just when it seemed like the Cleveland Browns were going to carry their momentum over from Week 4 after taking down the Baltimore Ravens, the team took a step back on Monday following an embarrassing loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

While Baker Mayfield has been taking plenty of criticism for his inability to put up the necessary points on offense, Freddie Kitchens is handling most of the blame, and rightfully so since no one expected the Browns to be sitting at 2-3.
Back in the offseason when Cleveland found a way to make their offense even more dangerous by acquiring Odell Beckham Jr. in a trade with the New York Giants, it seemed like the Browns were ready to be part of the conversation of being a Super Bowl contender.
This could still very well happen since it’s only been five games, but also it puts additional pressure on Kitchens heading into the team’s Week 6 contest against the Seattle Seahawks.
Looking at the Seahawks, this game is going to be far from easy for the Browns to handle, and if Cleveland drops to 2-4, Kitchens will most likely find his name on this list next week as well before Week 7 arrives.
