BEREA, Ohio — Mike Pettine drove his pickup truck behind the team’s headquarters, backing the vehicle up to a rear door to load his belongings.

Gone after two seasons as Cleveland’s coach, Pettine packed up and said goodbye.

The Browns are starting over.

One day after owner Jimmy Haslam fired both Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer following a miserable 3-13 season, the Browns cleaned out their lockers amid uncertainty, speculation and anger from some fans.

This team remains the NFL’s poster child of nearly constant change, unable to stick with a plan long enough to see if it will work.

And as he stood in the locker room towering over empty boxes following an empty season, Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas sounded as if he had had enough.

“Well, it doesn’t make you happy when you have to go through another coaching change,” said Thomas, who has played for five coaches since 2007.

“It’s tough on everybody. Coaching changes and organization changes always set you back. It’s a tough process to go through. Nobody is happy about it and it’s never easy.”

The Browns should be used to it. No team in the league has experienced more transformations than Cleveland, now searching for its eighth coach since 1999 and undergoing yet another front-office makeover.

Haslam has already fired three coaches in four years. For Thomas, Black Monday was nothing new. But the prospect of more change has the nine-time Pro Bowler re-assessing his future in Cleveland.

“As you get older, the tomorrows become fewer and far between and you become more reflective on your own football mortality,” Thomas said.
