The Cleveland Browns might want to think outside the box as they search for a new coach.
Martin O’Neill has Aston Villa surprisingly in fourth place in the English Premier League halfway through the season.
And O’Neill does, indeed, have an in with Randy Lerner. Lerner owns both Aston Villa and the Browns.
Hey, why not a soccer coach to lead the Browns? Seems football coaches haven’t fared very well the past few years?
O’Neill could even bring Lakewood, Ohio, native Brad Friedel as placekicker. At 6-3, 197 pounds, Friedel would make a great tight end. He might love to play for his hometown football team.
