A handful of Chiefs who will travel to Cleveland this weekend have been where the Browns are today when it comes to playing for an interim coach in his first game.

The Chiefs will work to prevent the success they enjoyed on that occasion.

In 2011, head coach Todd Haley was fired by the Chiefs after a 37-10 loss to the New York Jets. Three games remained in the season, and the Chiefs elevated defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel to finish it out.

On Monday, the Browns fired Hue Jackson along with Haley, the Browns’ offensive coordinator, and named defensive coordinator Gregg Williams to the top job with an interim tag.
