At the very least, the Browns should seriously consider hiring Marty Schottenheimer as an adviser.

Would that make current coach Romeo Crennel nervous?

Probably no more than the fact that Crennel knows his time is short, that 10 of his assistants have been replaced and that the front office is expecting a major improvement from a year ago.
