Cleveland Browns Make Right Move, Fire George Kokinis

The Browns have finally taken the first step back to respectability, and fired GM, George Kokinis. Sorry about the picture of Mangini, there are none of Kokinis.

The Browns have stated that, "Cleveland Browns general manager George Kokinis is no longer actively involved with the organization..."

Though all of the moves that have been made so far have been credited to Mangini, including bringing over most of the reserve players he coached with the Jets, the multiple trades in the first round, giving the Jets Mark Sanchez, and drafting a center instead.

Not to mention the trade of Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow, Jr. Two of the only playmakers on the roster. Or the fact that Brady Quinn, even though he was drafted by a different coaching staff, has not been given any kind of real chance at success.

The fact is, Browns fans have been thrown a crumb. Randy Learner has shown that he is trying to improve the team. The real question now becomes, what is going to happen to Eric Mangini?

I don't think we will find a Browns fan that is willing to admit that the job Mangini has done in talent acquisition is not one of the best in the NFL. When a new GM is brought in, he is going to want to bring his own coach in.

The writing on the wall is saying that Mangini is a dead man walking , and that is the best possible news for Cleveland.
