Holmgren in CLE meeting with the Browns

The Cleveland Browns search for a new leader of football has taken a surprising — and potentially exciting — turn.

Mike Holmgren spent Monday afternoon and evening in Cleveland meeting with the Browns.

He will spend Tuesday in Berea as well.

Holmgren is discussing joining the Browns as the team's football leader, the "czar" of football, for lack of a better word.

It's a job he has not held in his career, but he brings strong credentials.
