For many, Mike Holmgren's appointment as Cleveland Browns team president is like unwrapping a Christmas gifts a few days early.For me, it's like unwrapping a rock-hard lump of coal.Browns owner Randy Lerner finally landed a high-profile coach, but in doing so, he has opened himself up to a world of controversy.To put it simply, Mike Holmgren knows very little about the Cleveland Browns.Prior to the hire, Holmgren had no meaningful connections to any players or coaches in the organization.Holmgren has been put in charge of overseeing Cleveland's entire football operation: a role which requires a complete understanding of all things Brown and Orange.It is highly unlikely the 61-year-old coach coming out of retirement willseamlessly absorb everything there is to know about the new organization.It is even more unlikely that he'll do so for a franchise as mishandled as the Cleveland Browns.Case-in-point, consider Holmgren's title: president of football operations.

Holmgren replaces Mike Keenan in that role, a man who had little to no impact on the organization's football affairs.He represented the Browns in CBA and official league business, but other than that, Keenan had no impact on the football decision-making process. At an estimated $10 million per year, Mike Holmgren was brought here to do more than sit at meetings.It will likely be up to Holmgren to re-define the role of team president and establish how that role relates to the rest of the front office.Considering Holmgren may not be readily familiar with the internal workings of Berea, it seems the transition would be shaky at best.Mike Holmgren's arrival to Cleveland raises more questions than provides answers. How will the president interact with the GM What about the CFO Who will handle the draft How much say will the GM have on the organization Will there even be a GM What about the directors of pro and college personnel Will the head coach continue reporting to the owner Will the GM report to the owner The answers to these questions is a resounding "I don't know." In alllikelihood, Mike Holmgren doesn't know. All three of these men are going through this for the first time. Anyone who has followed the Browns over the past six seasons can tell you about the value of experience in the organization.Phil Savage was a first time GM Romeo Crennel was a first time head coach. Go back a little further and you'd find Butch Davis, Dwight Clark, and John Collins were all first timers And don't even get me started on coordinators. Here we have the Cleveland Browns filling a brand new position with a man who has never been exclusively at the top by himself.He's been out of football for a year, he isn't familiar with the people he's working with, and he's widely regarded as a micro-manager Excuse me if I'm not bubbling with optimism here.
