    Mike Holmgren to leave Browns

    Holmgren to retire as NFL OKs Browns sale
    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8511711/mike-holmgren-cleveland-browns-sale-official-sources-say
    New Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, whose takeover of the team was officially approved Tuesday, named Joe Banner the team's CEO/president and announced that current president Mike Holmgren will retire at the end of the season.


    New Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, whose takeover of the team was officially approved Tuesday, will name Joe Banner the team's CEO/president and current president Mike Holmgren will depart the organization within 24 hours, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Ed Werder.

    Haslem has a news conference scheduled for noon and will announce the Banner move, the sources said. It is unknown if Holmgren's status will be addressed at the news conference.

    Haslem will close his deal to buy the Browns with Randy Lerner on Oct. 25 but these changes will take place before then.
    Wonder if he'll be looking for a coaching gig...

      I'll bet he'll be looking for another lost cause.

        As a GM his record isnt very good.
        I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
        "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
        You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
        It was all         true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
        He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can         mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                Agreed. Joe Banner of the Eagles will be brought in as GM by the new owner.

                With a nice FAT buyout from the Browns.

                    Shocking.

                    This guy as a GM/President is an utter failure.

                    Pat Shurmur won't be long to follow Holmgren out the door.

                      Terrible GM. What was Cleveland thinking ?

                        Idiotic owner that cared more about other things than the football organization.

                            Good coach, yes. Good GM, no.

                              He made Marv look like Polian in comparison.

                              Of course, it was Marv that started all this nonsense about ex coaches turning into GMs. First him, then Parcells and Holmgren.
