Heading in the Right Direction

An offseason that began with the Cleveland Browns not even knowing who would be making decisions for them -- much less knowing what those decisions would be -- somehow will conclude with the franchise at last headed in the right direction, albeit with a long way still to go before reaching respectability.
It appeared at the end of the 2005 season, in which rookie coach Romeo Crennel directed the Browns to a 6-10 record, that General Manager Phil Savage was on the verge of being fired. Savage, however, won his power struggle with club president John Collins and was retained to share decision-making responsibilities with Crennel and owner Randy Lerner, and Collins was ousted instead.
