Seems that is the reason the Colt's two most senior Assts retired last year only to be brought back as consultants this year. The consultants call the O and the D.

Not sure about personality issues, but I think Romeo needed a scapegoat for not making the playoffs. Interestingly, the Browns went 4-12 the next year without Grantham, and Romeo lost his own job. That slide is largely attributed to injuries on offense, though.T-Ludhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161266604659784978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-27357791047802597982010-01-15T09:50:21.309-05:002010-01-15T09:50:21.309-05:00The first 3 articles here give some decent backgro...The first 3 articles here give some decent background on his firing: http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2008/01/06-week/<br /><br />I have the pleasure of being a browns fan and here's my take on what happened.<br /><br />-Grantham did well with some very shaky defensive personnel<br />-this got him an extension and fuels rumors that he will take over as head coach<br />-Grantham clashes with Romeo Crennel and some of the veterans (why?
