A Cleveland comedian shows us the exit of former Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan exactly as it happened … or, well, maybe not.

Cleveland-based comedian Mike Polk Jr. showed us the inside scoop of former Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan in a new video on YouTube.

Or, OK, maybe it could have gone down this way.

Seriously, it’s the Browns. At this point, there should be nothing that goes on in those executive offices at FirstEnergy Stadium that should surprise us.

Shanahan spent just one season as the offensive coordinator in Cleveland, coming there after his father, Mike Shahahan, and he were fired as head coach and offensive coordinator, respectively, of the Washington Redskins.

But after one season with Brian Hoyer at quarterback, the antics of Johnny Manziel in the background, injuries to Pro Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron and Pro Bowl center Alex Mack and a 10-game drug suspension served by All-Pro wide receiver Josh Gordon, Shahanan opted out.

He will instead be the offensive coordinator for new coach Dan Quinn with the Atlanta Falcons in 2015.

According to ESPN.com, Shanahan resigned because he felt he was forced by management to start Manziel and that the constant pressure to play the 2014 first-round draft pick when he wasn’t yet ready, in Shanahan’s opinion and later backed by his performance, wore on Shanahan.

The video is, in one sense, extremely funny.

But for Browns fans it’s got to have a bit of sad deja vu to it.
