Browns face tough start in Shurmur era amid organizational issues
Feaf Ean Twelve losses and a few notable organizational problems on the sideline gave his critics plenty of ammunition. Shurmur earned respect from players and stayed on task despite adversity. The lack of an offseason hurt installing the West Coast system and the Browns ranked 30th with 218 points, their worst scoring offense since 2000. Dick Jauron replaced Rob Ryan as coordinator bringing a steadier 4-3 base and calmer approach. Chris Tabor faced a rocky debut as special teams coach with punt block and kickoff return problems, but he earned a second season as issues were resolved late.
