Browns Reportedly Fire GM George Kokinis

Having spent significant time in the Baltimore FO, Kokinis would be a significant upgrade over Cerrato. A big part of Baltimore's winning formula is drafting players who dominate in the trenches. Cerrato missed on Jared Gaither, whom Baltimore landed in the 5th round of the Supplemental Draft. You can bet that Kokinis was one of the guys who scouted Gaither at U of Maryland.

Lerner reportedly interested in bringing in Ernie Accorsi as a consultant now. He apparently didn't like that there was an obvious chain of command from Kokinis to Mangini. But what did he expect? Mangini brought Kokinis in.

He'll make a big push for Cowher, Marty, or Holmgren I'm sure

Wouldn't it be something if Cowher went back to the AFC North coaching the team with which he began his career (actually, I guess technically that's the Ravens now, but you get it)? And Marty spent I think 7 or 8 years in Cleveland, and that was his first HC job. You can go home again?

Holmgren, well, I'm sure Lerner wouldn't bat an eye at making him HC and GM. That of course would not be a good choice.

It seems like Lerner wants a separation between coach and GM, so I don't think he'd bring in anyone to serve a dual capacity.

Kokinis really did not have much to do with the draft process in Baltimore. He was more like their Morocco Brown or a lite Bruce Allen. Kokinis dealt more with contract negotations, trades, free agency, scouting from other pro leagues, etc. He does have college scouting experience (but I think that was from his earlier days with the original Browns)

You mean before or after the Kokinis hire? Didn't he let Mangini hand-pick Kokinis? Even though they are two different people, it doesn't seem like much separation when you're letting your HC choose your front office.

No I mean now.

All I want to know is is he a good fit --capable fit-- for the Skins?

The Danny should be the next to make the same move. Bye, Bye, VINNY...;)

Snyder should get one of Lerner's Balls and do the same thing to Vinny, it's way overdue.

I would be willing to bet that Mangini is next. Looks like Lerner is feeling the heat from the fans and is AT LEAST doing something about it. But one of the reasons they suck is they don't have an NFL QB and they got rid of their two best offensive players. I don't think much of Brady Quinn but they've got to make a switch. Anderson is just awful.

How could Anderson just fall off the cliff like that. One year Pro-Bowler, next year he's a bum. Just doesn't make sense.
