Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Crennel's first head coaching job is a tough one. The Browns went 4-12 last season, and coach Butch Davis resigned Nov. 30. The Browns are just 30-66 since returning to the league in 1999. Crennel will be faced with some major decisions in his first weeks with the Browns. One is the future of quarterback Jeff Garcia, who struggled in his first season in Cleveland. Garcia is due a $500,000 roster bonus on March 1.
