Thankyou for being a Browns fan who actually doesn't think every move they make is gonna right the ship. Holmgren has been unsuccessful in the front office in his only experience. Yes I agree Holmgren is a great COACH. If you had hired him as a coach I would be right there with all the Browns fans saying this is a great move. He had very little to do with actaully building the Packers franchise besides coaching the players and designing the game plan (two things he will not do in Cleveland) and in Seattle he was actually almost fired as a coach and GM because they had been so unsuccessful but, they decided to just take away his GM duties and leave him to coaching and things improved and his COACHING took them to a superbowl.

Bill Parcells has done a great job in Miami but, he also had alot to do with player selection when he was a coach much more so the Holmgrem ( except for his negitive experince in Seattle). Homgrem is not Parcells. The Browns need to go out and get a GM who has had success in the past.
