NFL: Browns waiting on Holmgren


By TOM WITHERS

BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns could get word from Mike Holmgren on the radio.

The Super Bowl-winning coach is scheduled to appear on Seattle’s KJR on Friday, when he may announce his future plans. Holmgren spent two days meeting with Cleveland owner Randy Lerner.
Lerner is seeking a “serious, credible leader” to take over his struggling franchise’s front office and Holmgren is his No. 1 choice.
The 61-year-old Holmgren left Cleveland without accepting a deal, fueling speculation that he may want to weigh other options. One of them could be returning to the Seahawks, who have yet to begin their formal search for a general manager.
On Thursday, the Browns said they have not discussed salary with Holmgren, who made $7 million last season as Seattle’s coach.
