Report: Browns Fire General Manager

June 21, 2010 Updated Nov 3, 2009 at 12:20 AM EST

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - The Cleveland Browns are currently without a
general manager after George Kokinis left the club under
unexplained circumstances.
After reports surfaced that Kokinis was fired, the team issued
an awkwardly worded statement Monday night saying the GM "is no
longer actively involved with the organization." The Browns also
denied reports that Kokinis was escorted from their team
headquarters.
Kokinis' apparent ouster came one day after owner Randy Lerner
said he wanted to hire a "strong, credible, serious" football
adviser to help run his struggling team, which is off to a 1-7
start. Kokinis was hired on Jan. 23, two weeks after the Browns
named Eric Mangini as their fourth coach since 1999.
