The 2009 Cleveland Browns season is the team's 63rd season as a professional sports franchise and its 59th season as a member of the National Football League (NFL). The team will be attempting to improve upon its 2008 season in which it placed fourth in the AFC North with a record of 4–12. George Kokinis and Eric Mangini will be entering their first seasons as the team's general manager and head coach, respectively. The Browns play all of their home games at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.

Offseason

Personnel changes

On December 29, 2008, the Cleveland Browns announced that the team had fired general manager Phil Savage and head coach Romeo Crennel after spending four seasons together in Cleveland.[1] Crennel, who joined the Browns with Savage in 2005, left Cleveland with a record of 24–40 (.375) and an 0–8 record against the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers. The team's best record under Crennel was 10–6 during the 2007 season.

On January 7, 2009, the Browns announced that the team had found its replacement for Crennel and that it had reached a contractual agreement with former New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini, who was fired after three seasons in New York.[2] Mangini, who joined the Jets in 2006, left New York with a record of 23–25 (.479), including a 10–6 record and a playoff appearance in his first season.

On January 14, the Browns announced that Mangini had named his coordinators: Brian Daboll was hired as the offensive coordinator; Rob Ryan as the defensive coordinator; and Brad Seely as the special teams coordinator and assistant head coach.[3] Daboll was most recently the quarterbacks coach for the Jets from 2007–2008; Ryan was the defensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders from 2004–2008; and Seely was the special teams coach for the New England Patriots from 1999–2008.[3] All three worked with Mangini from 2000–2003 as members of New England.[3] Daboll, Ryan, and Seely replace Rob Chudzinski, Mel Tucker, and Ted Daisher, respectively.[3]

On January 22, the Browns hired five assistant coaches: Bryan Cox was hired as the defensive line coach; Andy Dickerson as the defensive quality control coach; Jerome Henderson as the defensive backs coach; Rick Lyle as an assistant strength-and-conditioning coach; and Carl Smith as the quarterbacks coach.[4] Cox, Dickerson, Henderson, and Lyle spent the past three seasons with Mangini in New York.[4] Smith was the Browns' quarterbacks coach from 2001–2003 and was most recently the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2005–2006.[4]

On January 25, the Browns hired former Baltimore Ravens director of pro personnel George Kokinis as general manager.[5] Kokinis spent five seasons in the Browns' scouting department from 1991–1995, and after the team moved to Baltimore, he was a member of the Ravens' scouting department from 1996–1999.[5] He was the Ravens' assistant director of pro personnel from 2000–2002 and was the director of pro personnel from 2003–2008.[5]

On February 4, the Browns hired three more assistant coaches: Alan DeGennaro was hired as an assistant strength-and-conditioning coach; Tom Myslinski as the strength-and-conditioning coach; and George Warhop as the offensive line coach.[6] On February 11, the Browns hired George McDonald as the offensive quality control coach.[7] On February 17, the Browns hired Gary Brown as the running backs coach and Steve Hagen as the tight ends coach.[8] On February 22, the Browns hired Matt Eberflus as the linebackers coach.[9]

On May 6, the Browns promoted McDonald to wide receivers coach.[10]

On March 14, Browns wide receiver Donté Stallworth was involved in a fatal accident in which he struck and killed pedestrian Mario Reyes with his car in the early morning in Miami, Florida.[61] Stallworth then stopped his vehicle and called 9-1-1. Reports showed that Stallworth was driving under the influence; his blood-alcohol level was 0.12%, above Florida's legal limit of 0.08%.[62] He was charged with DUI manslaughter and a warrant was issued for his arrest on April 1 and he surrendered to police on April 2.[62] On June 16, Stallworth pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to 30 days in prison, two years' house arrest, and eight years probation.[63] Many believed that the sentence Stallworth received was too lenient[citation needed] as he could have served up to 15 years in jail.[62] Stallworth also reached an undisclosed financial settlement with the victim's family.[63] On June 18, the NFL suspended Stallworth indefinitely[64] On August 13, the NFL officially suspended Stallworth for the entire 2009 season, and made plans to reinstate him after the Super Bowl.

The Browns opened their season at home against the Minnesota Vikings trying to improve on their 4-12 record from last season. After trading field goals in the first quarter, RB Adrian Peterson scored the first touchdown of the game, giving Minnesota a 10-3 lead. But K Phil Dawson kicked his second field goal and WR Joshua Cribbs returned a punt for a touchdown and the Browns took a 13-10 lead into halftime. However, the second half was controlled completely by the Vikings, with QB Brett Favre connecting with WR Percy Harvin for Favre's first touchdown pass as a Viking. In the 4th quarter, QB Brady Quinn completed a touchdown pass to TE Robert Royal, the first touchdown by Cleveland's offense since the 4th quarter of Week 11 in 2008, ending a span of 416 offensive plays without a touchdown.

With the loss, Cleveland fell to 0-1.
