The FanHouse Fake News Network. Because the Onion ain't hiring. Jerks.

In anticipation of mutual head coaching availabilities in 2010, Charlie Weis and the Cleveland Browns have met to discuss the possibility of Weis taking over for Eric Mangini at the end of 2009, a source deep within the Browns organization has told FanHouse.

"Charlie understands that the Chiefs with [Scott] Pioli are a good fit," the source said. "But he also knows that no one expects and embraces sports mediocrity quite like the city of Cleveland. Plus, there, 6-5 WOULD be good enough. And from what Weis told the Browns, that matters a lot."




When reached on his cell phone, Weis declined to comment on the possibility of any future employment with the Browns organization, but did mention that "[Mangini] and Romeo [Crennel] did a superb job of setting the bar just low enough" for the next coach to succeed.

Mangini could not be reached for comment and the automatic AT&T message made it seem as if his cell phone had been disconnected.
* Again, this is fake news. As in: not real.
