Romeo Crennel relieved of duties as coach

in Browns, McManamon, Phil Savage, Romeo Crennel

The Browns just announced that Romeo Crennel had been let go as the team's coach. Randy Lerner — and others — are expected to address the media today.

This is not an inexpensive venture on the part of owner Randy Lerner. Crennel and former GM Phil Savage will cost the Browns almost $23 million in salaries remaining on contract extensions signed last offseason. If others are let go as well — like offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski — that figure will go higher.

More updates will be provided here and at the Beacon Journal web site during the day.

Oh well….maybe it's for some important reasons like awkward training camps, bad decisions on third downs, clock mgmt, quarterback choices….(start Brady Quinn sooner), Plays period, benching players for not doing their jobs, motivating players to play, and for the biggest reason….inability to establish a team spirit to win. I wish him well and look forward to next season…GO BROWNS!!!!!
