Browns owner Randy Lerner will interview Baltimore director of pro personnel George Kokinis for the club's general manager position. And that meeting that could clear the way for Cleveland to hire fired New York Jets coach Eric Mangini. The Browns received permission to speak with Kokinis after the Ravens advanced in the AFC playoffs with a 27-9 win at Miami today. They'll play at Tennessee on Saturday. It is not known when Kokinis' interview will take place. Lerner has spent the past week meeting with coaching and GM candidates in the New York area. Mangini is the front-runner to become Cleveland's coach. He's expressed an interest in working with Kokinis, a longtime friend who worked with him for two years in Cleveland and one in Baltimore.
