Mr. Lerner speaks
Posted November 25th, 2008 by Luke Chandler
Amidst a season of crisis, Randy Lerner has finally spoken. He has said no major changes are coming until January. Those of you who placed a bet this week on Romeo's fate will likely have to pay up when you see your family on Thanksgiving.
On top of that, he states no passes have been made at former Steelers head coach and current CBS Analyst Bill Cowher. Again, pay up your bets folks.
Marty Schottenheimer? He's done with the NFL.
Lastly, head coach Romeo Crennel has said that Brady Quinn will start against the Colts this Sunday. If you are playing along with me, you owe someone money for some of these random bets.
My take on it all:
Randy Lerner has been absent this year amidst other issues. It's nice to see him pipe up on the matter, but it seems a bit too late. When your owner (allegedly) has not seen a game in person this year, how well of a grasp does he have on the issues at hand?
As far as Cowher goes, this is an issue that Browns need to drop, at least for now. He's loyal to the Rooney family, and lives much more stress-free existence working for CBS. That train is never leaving the station.
Marty? Would be a great story, but it's not going to happen.
As far as Quinn goes…it feels like he will facing an uphill battle for the rest of the season with his finger, and a potentially lame-duck coach. Crennel has gone to the bench once for Derek Anderson, it will just get easier from here.
