Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens didn't have the best debut season as head coach for the Cleveland Browns. It's been such an underwhelming season that some fans are even calling for the team to get him removed from the sideline.

However, the Browns doubled down on their commitment to stick with Kitchens. They believe that the offensive brilliance that Kitchens showcased during the second half of the 2018 season can still bring the team some much-needed success.

They see the quality of the output he's given over the last five games as an indication of his potential to take the Browns to new heights.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport revealed more details about the situation at the Browns camp:

But as the Browns prepare to play the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, here is where they stand: With .500 in reach, winners of four of their last five games, and very supportive of first-year head coach Freddie Kitchens.

Sources say Browns management continues to stand with Kitchens and wants him to continue to have the success necessary to remain in that position for a long time. As the end of the regular season looms, the speculation about job security is at its peak.

One possible factor for his level of trust is the level of chemistry between Kitchens and Baker Mayfield. They really like working alongside each other—and that chemistry has brought teams success this season.

Moreover, the team has shown more purpose compared to Hue Jackson's reign. Given how poorly the Browns played during that time, this season doesn't look bad for the Browns.

Detractors of Kitchens will have to wait another season before they can lobby for his ouster.
