Housecleaning continues in Berea
The moves were considered inevitable once Mike Holmgren brought in Bryan Wiedmeier from the Dolphins to run the business side, so it’s hardly a surprise that Mike Keenan and Dawn Aponte are being swept out of the front office, as The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported late Friday.
Keenan had been team president until Holmgren showed up and he was bumped down to chief financial officer. A non-football guy, he won’t be missed.
Aponte had been the team’s chief contract negotiator and salary cap handler. She has a good reputation in the league and should find other employment if she wants it.
Wiedmeier’s title is executive vice president for business administration, but he’s apparently more than just a bean counter and even the legendary Don Shula issued a statement singing his praises when Holmgren coaxed him into coming north.
Keenan had been owner Randy Lerner’s right-hand man. He represented the team at league meetings, but he was a ghost in public after being chosen to introduce head coach Eric Mangini a year ago.
