The other day after the game he stated that he was sick about the state of the team and that he was going to bring in a credible, football minded person to head the team. Not sure who that person could be. He brought in Bernie Kosar as a special consultant a few weeks ago. That was a good
PR move, as Bernie is still a God in Cleveland. He's in no way ready to make personnel decisions, though.
I feel the way I feel about the Indians. I think the Indians needed to find a manager with a proven track record of winning (instead, they went with Eric Wedge several years ago, now they get Manny Acta with his awesome winning percentage). I'd like to see Lerner bring in a proven guy to take over the general manager position and let Mangini know that the only way he keeps his job is by surrendering some control over player and personnel issues.
