Cleveland Browns want to contact Mike Shanahan

[dbackjon]

The Browns will seek to interview fired Denver coach Mike Shanahan, said a source with knowledge of the situation.

"How can you not?" said the source.

Browns owner Randy Lerner and President Mike Keenan are in the New York area today to interview Scott Pioli for the position of chief football executive and Eric Mangini for head coach.

The interviews are separate. Lerner had the Pioli interview scheduled and decided to hook up with Mangini, recently fired as Jets coach, to get a feel for him before proceeding with other planned interviews.

Broncos owner Pat Bowlen rocked the NFL world by firing Shanahan in a five-minute exit interview on Tuesday.

True. I wish I could sit at home and collect money while I do absolutely nothing.

Just a wild shot on both accounts.

Yeah. The Boneless Browns will be a better team instantly if Shanahan gets the job.
