Andy Moeller, Browns Agree to Part Ways: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

The Cleveland Browns and offensive line coach Andy Moeller have agreed to part ways as of Tuesday.

Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan posted an official joint statement from the team and Moeller's representatives regarding the situation:

Moeller had been accused of domestic assault, stemming from an incident that occurred on Sept. 5, but ultimately he wasn't charged.

While the domestic violence investigation was going on, the Browns suspended Moeller indefinitely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday the Browns knew Moeller wouldn't be coming back since his initial ban.

Cleveland has struggled to find synergy on offense amid a 1-2 start. Its strength is supposed to be the offensive line, a unit Moeller had been overseeing since the beginning of last season. Through three games, the team is 25th in total yards.

Browns Radio Network's Dustin Fox took a little solace in center Alex Mack's strong Pro Football Focus grade the team noted after its loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 3: 

Whether Moeller's absence has had anything to do with the Browns' lackluster performance in the trenches is unclear. In any event, Tuesday's news adds yet another unpleasant development on a long list for the bumbling Browns franchise.  

Browns head coach Mike Pettine has lost seven of his last eight games. Starting quarterback Josh McCown has lost 12 of his past 13 starts. General manager Ray Farmer is still serving a suspension.

Cleveland assistant George DeLeone and others on the coaching staff must implore the Browns offensive line to set a more physical tone in Week 4's contest against at San Diego and beyond if the team is meant to bounce back.
