BEREA, Ohio -- Rejected by his top coaching choice, Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner has turned his attention to finding someone for the front office to fix the Browns.
Lerner has dismissed general manager Phil Savage after a miserable 4-12 season. Coach Romeo Crennel was fired yesterday, after Lerner had already been turned down by former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher during an informal weekend meeting in New York.
Cowher told Lerner he isn't ready to get back into coaching and is enjoying his life outside the NFL grind working as a TV analyst.
So, Lerner's next move is to bring in an experienced NFL executive. He has received permission to interview Scott Pioli, New England's veep for player personnel.
