Coming off an 11-5 season and a Divisional playoff loss, the Browns were 4-5 when Modell announced the team was moving to Baltimore. That effectively ended their season and Cheat's run as head coach. It's a little more complicated than 'run out of town' - there was extreme animosity towards Modell and the organization happening. And Testaverde wasn't HOF level, but he wasn't chopped liver either.
