It’s widely believed that Browns coach Romeo Crennel is in serious danger of being fired after the season, and that G.M. Phil Savage will survive.
But local reaction to Savage’s not-so-nice e-mail to a reader could potentially bring him down.
Per Daulerio of Deadspin, Savage got a nasty message from a Browns fan understandably distressed by the team’s performance this season.
Savage’s response? “Go root for Buffalo-f#@* you-.”
First of all, it ain’t real bright to make the e-mail address of an NFL General Manager available publicly. Second, it’s downright Donovan-style stoopid for said G.M. to take the bait when flamed by a fan.
The real question is whether this thing grows legs, and whether any folks in the organization who don’t like Savage try to seize upon the incident in support of an argument to cut him loose.
In the end, the worst decision of the Savage era might have nothing to do with draft picks or free agents.
