Lerner Talks

Randy Lerner gives an interview to the Plain Dealer and is moderately revealing -- the overall impression he gives is that he hasn't yet gotten over the death of his father, Al Lerner. I can understand that completely. The good thing is that it sounds like the team's affairs are being managed well, and Randy will make a good owner who will be supportive, involved at a high level, and hands-off on a low level. He is setting a good tone for the organization. Like everything else, however, the team's success is dependent on Butch Davis and Carmen Policy being the right guys for the job. It's clear from the interview that Randy Lerner trusts them a great deal.
