Browns announce coaching changes
01.05.2007
The Browns announced Friday that four assistant coaches, including receivers coach Terry Robiskie, will not be retained for the 2007 season.
Robiskie joined the club in 2001 as wide receivers coach and stayed in the role until he was elevated to offensive coordinator in '04. He finished that year as the team's interim head coach for the club's final five games after Butch Davis resigned from his post. Robiskie returned to coaching the receivers in '05 and stayed at the job in '06.
The other coaches relieved of their duties are tight ends coach Ben Coates, offensive quality control coach Carl Crennel II, and strength and conditioning coach John Lott.
All three coaches joined the Browns' staff in 2005 when Romeo Crennel became the club's head coach.
The job with the Browns was the first major coaching role for Coates, who coached in NFL Europe and took part in a minority coaching internship with the Cowboys before coming to Cleveland. Coates was a five-time Pro Bowl tight end for the Patriots.
Carl Crennel, the nephew of the Browns' head coach, was the director of football operations and assistant head coach at West Virginia Tech University before coming to Cleveland.
The bulk of Lott's experience came at the University of Houston from 1991-96 and with the New York Jets from 1997-04.
"I would like to thank these four coaches for their service to the Browns since my arrival here two years ago, especially Terry Robiskie, who served as wide receivers coach, offensive coordinator and interim head coach during his six years with the Browns," Romeo Crennel said. "These decisions were made with the best interest of the franchise in mind."
