Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
That's the word from the news-breaking robot ESPN calls "Adam Schefter":
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.
Sorry if I'm misreading the situation here, but is Randy Lerner actually doing something ... smart? Reasonable? Consistent with the interests of his organization and its fans? I'm conditioned to believe this is never the case in Cleveland, and yet this seems downright intelligent. I feel so confused.
