NFL Black Monday: Browns' Chudzinski, Vikings' Frazier Let Go

The Browns last night fired coach Rob Chudzinski after one season, citing a "concerning step backward in the second half of the year." A source said that the firing came "after a lengthy meeting" among Chudzinski, Browns CEO Joe Banner and Owner Jimmy Haslam III "in which Chudzinski had an opportunity to plead his case" (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 12/30). 

The AKRON BEACON JOURNAL's Nate Ulrich writes fans "should know to expect the unexpected with the Browns, especially" with Haslam and Banner in charge. NFL.com's Marc Sessler wrote the firing was "a move nobody saw coming as recently as a few days ago."

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting the Vikings are parting ways with coach Leslie Frazier (“SportsCenter,” ESPN, 12/30).
