The Facts:
Shortly after helping New England win its third NFL title in four years, the Patriots' defensive coordinator accepted an offer to coach the Cleveland Browns, a chance to advance that he once worried would never come. Crennel's agent, Joe Linta, said Browns president John Collins called him "about two minutes" after the Patriots' win to offer the 57-year-old Crennel, a five-time Super Bowl winner, his first head coaching job. "He has accepted, pending us working out a contract," Linta said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Crennel's move to Cleveland is no surprise. It had been expected for weeks, and was only delayed because the Browns weren't allowed to have contact with the 24-year NFL coaching veteran while the Patriots were still playing.
