Browns' Kitchens 'not worried about' job security despite 4th straight loss

After a fourth straight loss further warmed the seat of Freddie Kitchens, the Cleveland Browns head coach insisted he isn't worried about his job security.

"It really doesn't concern me," Kitchens said, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. "It's not my decision. I've never worried about it before, I'm not worried about it now, I'm not going to worry about it in the future. I'll just do the best job I can do."

Kitchens has shouldered a fair share of the blame for the much-hyped Browns' 2-6 record on the season.

Cleveland's scoring offense - which ranks 25th in the NFL - is averaging 19 points per game despite featuring talent at multiple skill positions. The first-year head coach previously stated he had no plans of giving up play-calling duties.

Rather than focusing on the past, Kitchens wants his team to take a week-by-week approach moving forward.

"I think our guys are still fighting," he said. "I think they go out and played well for the most part. Got bogged down in the red zone offensively. Defensively, I think you make a few more tackles and they don't really have much. They scored 24 points on 21 minutes of possession, so that means that they were getting them off the field and giving up a few big plays and a couple tackles that extended drives for them.

"We've still got eight games left so we've got to do something with those eight games," Kitchens continued. "It starts at one game. That's the only thing we can win is one game. I think these guys focused and concentrated this week."
