... hire a head coach and/or general manager away from the Steelers? The Steelers are the best team in the AFC North, and they are arguably the best team in the AFC. You don't get to the Super Bowl unless you beat the Steelers. And, the Browns are guaranteed to play them at least two, and probably three, times every year.
Russ Grimm was with the Steelers for many years. There's probably a few guys on the staff right now who have head coaching ability. Heck, Dick LeBeau was the Cincinnati Bengals head coach for a few years (although he may not like to be reminded of it.).
Instad, we get two consecutive coach/GM hires which, when you really look at it, are almost the same thing.
Why fire Romeo Crennel only to hire Eric Mangini? Trading one Belichick/Parcells defensive coach for another.
Why fire Phil Savage to hire George Kokinis? They both come from the Baltimore Ravens front office.
It seems to me, if the Browns were going to do what they did, they might as well have given a nod to stability for another year.
I still think they should have hired Marty Schottenheimer, but given their 1-6 start, anybody would have been better than the guys they did hire.
(And, by the way, did anybody else notice that Savage recently said the current regime "ruined" both quarterbacks he left them? I doubt Brady Quinn would even bring any kind of draft pick in a trade after all this.)

I would like to see Tennessee release Jeff Fisher. He seems to need new scenery. And he is a good coach.
