Holmgren interested in meeting with Browns

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Saturday, November 21, 2009 - 6:59 p.m.

CLEVELAND — Former Seattle and Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren says he would be interested in working for the Cleveland Browns.

Holmgren said on his weekly radio show on Seattle's KJR that he has not yet spoken to Browns owner Randy Lerner, who is looking for a "serious, credible leader" football authority to run his struggling team. Holmgren did not say if he would like to coach again, but indicated he would be welcome the chance to take on a rebuilding project like the 1-8 Browns.

Holmgren was Seattle's GM and coach for four seasons. He stepped down as coach after last season.

Earlier, Hall of Famer Jim Brown said Lerner had met with "one of the great football minds in this country," and hinted that person may have been Holmgren.

Thank you BostonBill. I am a Clevelandite, Browns fan born and bred. I'm quite partial to the Browns and their own legacy... including the strong dislike for the old Browns' owner that took the physical team to Baltimore.

It's nice to hear someone else say something positive. I also give my best of luck to Mike. He has a proven track record that could be of help in Cleveland.
