The Cleveland Browns were unable to start a desired win streak Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. However, an unexpected streak has developed in its absence. For the second consecutive week, the opposition's head coach has admitted to being a Browns fan.

A week ago, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden noted that he grew up a Browns fan.

“I was a big Cleveland Browns fan. I was a big (former Browns RB) Leroy Kelly fan. That was my team. My dad was a high school coach in Ohio at Galion High School. Went to watch the Browns in training camp every year. I still have a Leroy Kelly autographed picture in my house. I love Ohio. Went to Dayton (University). Love Ohio football. Look forward to doing some competing with Cleveland. There will be some great memories for sure. I like the old uniforms better, I must say," Gruden said during a conference call earlier this week," Gruden said.

Fast forward a week and the same scenario has arrived. Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh acknowledged that he grew up a fan of the Browns as well.

“My mom is from Cleveland and went to Shaw High School over there in East Cleveland. My dad is from Crestline, Ohio, which is about hour and a half south of there, and they met at Bowling Green State University. All of our family on my mom’s side is from Cleveland, and all of my family on my dad’s side is Browns fans. We all grew up Browns fans. I was a (former Browns RB) Leroy Kelly era, (former Browns QB) Bill Nelsen and just great memories, but I never went to a Browns game and never had tickets or anything like that to go to a real game," Harbaugh said Wednesday.

"My dad was high school coach at Canton McKinley. My dad got cut by the Buffalo Bills. My mom was going to the Peace Corps. My dad was going to the Buffalo Bills and my dad was going to be a Hall of Famer some day, and he got released after three days. He called my mom up and said, ‘Hey! How about getting married?’ She did say yes and they got married in November – the year after college – and (former Browns owner) Art Modell, which is just a total irony because when we came here to Baltimore Art and Pat Modell, obviously, were a big part of us coming here and we had dinner several of times with them. My dad used to love it – Art used to love hearing the story about how he gave free tickets to high school coaches in the area at the time, and that is when my mom and dad saw the Cleveland Browns play the Giants that one November – 1961 Giants-Browns. That and my dad and Art would talk about the 60's Browns and all that kind of stuff so pretty cool.”

Although he grew up in the Toledo area, he attended high school in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where his father, Jack, was coaching the Wolverines at the time. He returned to play his college football at Miami (Ohio).

Gruden also said that he has an autographed picture of Kelly. Harbaugh did not grow up with cool memorabilia of his own.

“I am jealous. Jon Gruden had better connection, you know? I think his dad was a scout in the league so we had nothing. We had no way of getting… We were not that high up on the food chain as the Gruden’s obviously," he laughed.

It is unlikely that the streak will run to three though. Next week's opponent, head coach Anthony Lynn of the Los Angeles Chargers, is originally from Texas.
