The Browns plan to fire HC Romeo Crennel after a disappointing year, regardless of injuries the team has suffered, the sources told ESPN insider Chris Mortensen. The future of GM Phil Savage also has been the source of speculation by various media outlets. Owner Randy Lerner is contemplating a different authority -- or "voice" of the franchise -- that can filled by an experienced coach like Cowher or Schottenheimer, the sources told Mortensen.
