In Rancho Bernardo, football lifer Dale Lindsey stared in disbelief.
“I was shocked to see what was going on,” said the University of San Diego’s head coach, who played in eight NFL playoff games as a Browns linebacker and coached on San Diego’s only Super Bowl team.
It wasn’t that Lindsey, 77, regarded the Browns as chumps.
