... a GM and then those two would decide on the future of Eric Mangini as head coach.
At least it sounds like Lerner has a plan going forward and he wants to bring in an experienced man to run the operations. I wish he would have done this last offseason, but it sounds like he's learned from his mistake and is trying to rectify the situation. I guess this gives us hope for the future, which is all we can have at the moment.
UPDATE: ESPN.com now has an article by Schefter giving some more details.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Browns owner Randy Lerner is very interested in bringing in Mike Holmgren to run the Browns.

Did it ever occur to the team that the problem wasn't Kokinis, but Mangini? Lured from Baltimore with a written contract giving Kokinis full authority over the roster, Kokinis made the mistake of believing that the content of the document reflected the true state of affairs. By all appearances, Mangini steamrolled Kokinis. So should it be a surprise if, eventually, Kokinis' demeanor reflected ...
