Owner’s time is right now

December 31, 2008

Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner was apparently feeling sick last Monday due to a flu bug. It could easily have been the effects of watching the Browns play 16 games and win just four that had Lerner feeling under the weather. When the team you own doesn’t score one offensive touchdown in the final six games, it can have you reaching for the medicine cabinet. Now comes the healing part, not just for Lerner but for the team. If ever there was a definitive moment since Lerner accepted organizational control following the death of his father, Al, in 2002, it’s now. Within days or weeks, Lerner will make decisions that will definitely impact the future of the team and perhaps decide his fate as the owner. Lerner can’t afford to swing and miss on the hirings of the general manager and head coach. If the moves turn out as poorly as did the hirings of Phil Savage as GM and Romeo Crennel as coach in 2005, Lerner might want to think about selling the team.
