06:44 AM ET 12.30 | Browns owner Randy Lerner said that former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher told him he was not interested in joining the Browns. Lerner met with the media this morning to announce that Romeo Crennel has been fired as head coach. Speculation for his replacement had been centered on Cowher for several weeks, but Lerner said Monday that he met with Cowher on Saturday night and that Cowher said he would not return to coaching in 2009 and asked Lerner to take him off the Browns list of candidates. Cowher told Lerner that he was comfortable with his lifestyle in North Carolina at this time. Lerner said he met with Cowher in New York.
