Freddie Kitchens

Charles Frederick Kitchens Jr. (born November 29, 1974) is an American football coach who is the offensive coordinator for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Kitchens was previously tight ends coach and run game coordinator, and later the interim head coach for the Tar Heels' 2024 bowl game prior to the hiring of Bill Belichick. He has served as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns and an assistant coach for the New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals, and Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League (NFL). He has also spent stints as an assistant coach with Mississippi State, North Texas, LSU, and Glenville State of the NCAA. He was fired in 2019 after his lone season as a head coach when his Browns team ended with a 6–10 record.
