Cleveland Browns preview
Cleveland Browns 2008 Preview ReportJuly 28, 2008
They don’t know how it happened. You know….it just sort of…did. Really fast. The Cleveland Browns fell in love. Her name is Success.
It’s hard to say exactly when the flame was ignited. A few years ago the Browns entrusted power in GM Phil Savage and then hired Patriots defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel to be their head coach. That’s when they first met Success. But the two didn’t fall in love right away. Not even close. In fact, they didn’t even like each other.
After going 6-10 in Crennel’s first season, the Browns and Success hardly spoke. When Cleveland went 4-12 in ’06, fans weren’t happy and the media was questioning Crennel’s future. Savage’s job didn’t seem all that secure either. In those times when the Browns did cross paths with Success, the interaction was cordial at best. Sometimes, the two sides were even acrimonious towards one another.
Still, friends always suspected that there might be something between the two.
