Following Sunday's game, Lerner told reporters he has no plans to fire first-year Browns coach Eric Mangini and that he would like to hire a "strong, credible, serious leader" to help run his team.

Lerner did not expand on who that person might be or if that person currently worked for the Browns. He recently brought in former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar in an unspecified consulting role.

Cowher used to play for the Browns, wouldn't be surprised if they make a push for him. You know the fans would love it.

Mike Randall and Tony Schafer, who have been urging other Cleveland fans to stay away from their seats for the opening kickoff of the Browns' nationally televised game against Baltimore on Nov. 16, have a meeting scheduled with Lerner on Tuesday morning at the team's headquarters.

Randall, who's also known as "Dawg Pound Mike," plans to present Lerner with over 2,000 e-mails he has received from fans since announcing the "walk-in" protest. Randall said he hopes to persuade the ultra-private Lerner to speak directly to Cleveland's disappointed fan base.
