Kokinis Escorted From Office

Why Kokinis? Why now?
I figured Kokinis would be instrumental in preparing us for the Draft.
-
Didn't see that coming.
-
It's happening
-
I find the term 'sacrificed' interesting. Mangini may have done nothing but describe some things or he may have done nothing. Kokinis may have hung himself if he is no longer with the browns.

i respect lerner more than ever for showing up in chicago.talking to the brown out organizers/fans and figuring he aint waiting 3 years to watch this implode.
stay tuned.

Per. pft, and also on obr insiders. If thats true its a very good sign Lerner will not put up with this crap.
-
I am not one of the ones that wants to see Mangini go only because I believe that this roster was bad before he got here and 1 year isn't going to fix everything. But if Mangini is soon to go seeing as how Kokinis is apparently gone, do you think Dungy would be willing to come coach? He has turned bad teams around in the past ala Colts and the Bucs, do you think he could do the same for us if we were able to lure him here?

Wah Wah WHAT?
-
It'll be interesting to see who replaces him
Another Puppet ?
-
Kosar will be GM folks.

typical knee jerk reaction from lerner.What message does that send the players if the owner isn't showing confidence in the coaches and FO.
Here's where it gets scary. EVERY time the Lerner family goes to fire someone - they have to hire someone for a business they know nothing about. There's more to it than being willing to open your wallet UNLESS you activate an ELITE guy's YES button. Haven't seen it yet.
Kokinnos doubled our 2009 draft and tripled our 2010 draft, which means he was doing some pretty good Savage-induced damage control.
Maybe Ernie Accorsi won't be advising Randy anymore.

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns General Manager George Kokinis was escorted out of the Browns facility in Berea by security, two league sources told the Plain Dealer.
The Browns were not immediately available for comment.
Kokinis was handpicked by Browns coach Eric Mangini to be his general manager, but was barely heard from after his hiring in January.
Browns owner Randy Lerner said after the 30-6 loss to the Bears on Sunday that he was looking for a "strong, serious, credible'' leader to guide and explain decisions.
Kokinis had 18 years' NFL experience, including 13 with the Ravens.
More details to come.

This franchise has gone full Retard.

CLEVELAND --WKYC's Jim Donovan reports that the Cleveland Browns have severed ties with General Manager George Kokinis.
Donovan broke the story on 'The Point After' on WKYC-TV3.
According to Donovan, Kokinis was ushered out of the Browns facility in Berea at around noontime Monday.
The move comes one day after the Browns lost to the Bears dropping their record to 1-7 overall.
Browns owner, Randy Lerner, told the media he was reportedly "sick" over the state of his NFL team following the loss.
The Browns cleaned house during the off season. The team hired Kokinis and Head Coach Eric Mangini after last season's disappointing 4-12 season.
Keep it with WKYC-TV3 and wkyc.com for the latest on the Browns.
The Point After airs each Monday at 7 p.m. on WKYC-TV and wkyc.com.

Theory: A significant reason Kokinis was fired was because of the way the Browns handled the QB situation. In particular starting the worst QB in the NFL these past 4 games made no sense and Lerner never got a good explanation and finally snapped.
-----------
Lerner said continuing to play BA didn't make any sense: "When asked about the Derek Anderson-Brady Quinn situation, Lerner said it "doesn't look sensible." "
Lerner also said that he was looking for a credible leader to help explain decisions: "Browns owner Randy Lerner said after the 30-6 loss to the Bears on Sunday that he was looking for a "strong, serious, credible'' leader to guide and explain decisions."

Mangini is supposedly telling him what to do instead of the other way around. It's no surprise that Mangini would throw this guy under the bus. As I said, Mangini is making alot of strange decisions and the guy is letting his ego get in the way. Mangini should be fired right along with him. There is no way that either of your QBs could even do a worse job of coaching this team right now let alone if your owner actually started to really decide to get serious and pick up someone with a proven track record to lead your team.
I know... Fuk off FOS, you don't know shit about football.
