Pluto's scribbles on the Browns' big move

by Terry Pluto/Plain Dealer Columnist Wednesday January 07, 2009, 9:04 PM


What I think is next now that the Browns have hired Eric Mangini ...
George Kokinis is the most likely candidate to be the new general manager. I sense the Mangini/Kokinis pairing became a possibility early in the discussions between the Browns and Mangini. As the Ravens Director of Pro Personnel, Kokinis is the right-hand man to Baltimore GM Ozzie Newsome. Kokinis is constantly in the office, working with the coaching staff, the scouts and Newsome to make sure everyone is organized and staying with their plans.
The Browns want a strong presence in the front office to work with the coach. They want the coach and GM to be close, to work for consensus on forming the 53-man roster. They want the front office and head coach to react quickly when something such as the Kellen Winslow staph infection problem came up so that it does not linger.
If the Browns do hire Kokinis, they know he and Mangini have a strong relationship based on mutual respect. But they also will have to find a super scout, much like the role that Phil Savage filled. It's possible they could promote T.J. McCreight, who was the top scout under Savage. McCreight was brought into his scouting career by Kokinis in Baltimore, so they have a relationship.

The other candidate is Tom Heckert, who is listed as the Eagles' general manager. But Philadelphia coach Andy Reid seems to have the final say on most roster decisions. He seems to have more dealing with the college draft than Kokinis, who specialty for the last several seasons in Baltimore is scouting and gathering information on NFL players for possible free agent signings and trades.
