Mangini calls GM's ouster 'difficult'

Cleveland Browns Coach Eric Mangini said Tuesday that the ouster of George Kokinis as the team's general manager was "difficult."

With the club's record at 1-7, the Browns announced Monday night that Kokinis no longer was with the organization.

"Any time a decision like this is made, it is difficult personally and professionally," Mangini said, according to the Associated Press. "George is a friend of mine and I respect him and I wish his family well. I can tell you that for a variety of reasons things didn't work out. You never go into a situation like this with the intention of it not working out.

"We felt that, organizationally, this was the best decision in order to move forward."
