From Adam Schefter of ESPN.com:
One of the first people Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner will contact to run his team, if he hasn't contacted him already, is former Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren, according to a team source.
Holmgren is itching to return to football and the opportunity he would have in Cleveland would be an attractive one. Lerner is looking for someone to perform for the Browns the same role that vice president of football operations Bill Parcells performs for the Dolphins. The job, for the time being, is Holmgren's to lose.
If Holmgren were to take it -- and there are some people who think he still would prefer to coach -- he would be returning to the Midwest, where he built his reputation as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers.
Holmgren is one of at least four names on Lerner's wish list, though he is considered the top target. The others are former New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi, Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay and former Packers general manager Ron Wolf.
Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren -- back to Green Bay. Tomorrow!
Holmgren isn't going to Cleveland
Lerner already screwed Ron Wolf when he hired him as a consultant for Butch Davis to ignore. Wolf lives in Green Bay already, he isn't going either. Maybe Lerner can bring in Martin O'Neil, the manager of his Aston Villa team in England
The most important thing to do in Cleveland is to fire Mangini. That done, everything will be much easier...
