Weird why Modell would fire him just when everything was nearly completed if he'd been happy with his performance.




He was happy to blame the performance of the team on Belichick, so he could claim a new start in Baltimore. Modell knew that he need an excuse to justify moving the Browns, so he hoped to tank the team and kill attendance. Remember he moved them in the middle of the night ?

Cleveland was 11-5 and won a playoff game in '94. Modell announced his move in the middle of the '95 season...that's what tanked the attendance....and the season.
