McCrieght Fired!
-
I think McCreight was actual in a higher level position than Kokinis was in Baltimore.
McCreight was director of player personnel (both draft & FA), whereas Kokinis was director of pro personnel. Steve Sabo holds/held Kokinis's job in Cleveland.
James "Shack" Harris was at the Senior Bowl practices. Could be that Mangini/Kokinis sent him there as their "special envoy".

This was Kokinis' firing, I think. He wants his own personnel guy and it might be Shack Harris. Bottom line is that Kokinis didn't want McCreight (who holds the same job as Kokinis held in Baltimore) and that's his right.Exactly
Have him fired/removed before Kokinis comes in. Don't want the new guy being known as the headhunter, firing people as his first duty.

Good luck, TJ.

What's confusing is that Kokinis and most of these guys worked in Balt together.
I guess him and McCreight weren't buds.

I'm not been too impressed with Shack Harris's drafts in Jacksonville. His picks from Round 3 on have been kinda brutal:
2006
- Round 3: Clint Ingram, OLB, Oklahoma - had a decent rookie season, but has been a backup ever since
- Round 5: Brent Hawkins, LB, Illinois State - got cut in the middle of '08
- Round 7: James Wyche, DE, Syracuse - spent season on IR, hasn't ever been active for a regular season game
- Round 3: Mike Walker, WR, UCF - missed rookie year due to knee injury suffered in college. Had 16 catches this year, but also battled some more knee issues.
- Round 4: Adam Podlesh, P, Maryland - has been an average at best punter, making this pick all the more questionable
- Round 4: Brian Smith, OLB, Missouri - never really recovered from a hip fracture he suffered during his senior year. Not in the NFL.
- Round 5: Uchi Nwaneri, OG, Purdue - didn't make the team
- Round 5: Josh Gattis, S, Wake Forest - didn't make the team
- Round 5: Derek Landri, DT, Notre Dame - undersized DT (6'2", 282 lbs.) has been a decent rotational player; made 15 tackles and notched 2 sacks this year
- Round 7: John Broussard, WR, San Jose State - didn't make team
- Round 7: Chad Nkang, S-OLB, Elon - college linebacker never adjusted to playing safety. Only a special teams player.
- Round 5: Thomas Williams, OLB, USC - only active for six games (1 tackle)
- Round 5: Trae Williams, CB, USF - didn't make the team
- Round 7: Chauncey Washington, RB, USC - only got a few carries during the season

It's thought that the Browns scouting staff will remain in place at least this season because they're already on the job. I'd also heard that Jeremiah was heading up the Senior Bowl work and that we were being very, very aggressive.This stuff is pretty delicate and tough to judge from our limited perspective. Bottom line is that Kokinis didn't want McCreight (who holds the same job as Kokinis held in Baltimore) and that's his right.
I 'm sorry did I miss something? Kokinis is firing people while still working for Bwhore? BULLSHIFT
Where is this guy? If he wants this job his a$$ should have been in Berea on Monday morning,then fire McBumble himself like a real GM is supposed to.
No,I don't buy it, he's dragg'n his feet because he can.We had no Plan B.
This things starting to reek!
