Browns: The Fall Guy
Ohio Sports Report —
[image] To suggest that George Kokinis bares any fault for the Browns' dismal 1-7 start or is compliant with the overall organizational dysfunction rampant in Cleveland is pure fantasy. If there is any evidence to the contrary, let's go ahead and assign him the problems of climate change and throw in Northeast Ohio lake effect cloud cover, as well. There's a major reason why the Browns are currenlty suffering in the throes of some deep depression at the moment - and the efforts of George Kokinis are pretty far down the list. I'll have ...

Half of ManKok is no more in Cleveland
BlitzNation —
[image] Yesterday, around Noon George Kokinis was dismissed from the Cleveland Browns organization . The dynamic duo of Eric Mangini / George Kokinis is no more. Now, only Mangini is left. ManKok (or is it KokMan?) was brought into the Browns organization to be a savior. It was understandable that when you release your best talented players that you are going to go backwards.
