Maurice Carthon was fired as the Browns' offensive coordinator Monday. Carthon was told by coach Romeo Crennel in a late afternoon meeting that he was being relieved of his duties, said Jim Donovan of WKYC-TV, who first reported the story Monday night. It's not clear who will take over for Carthon, but offensive line coach Jeff Davidson appears to be in line. He was given the title of assistant head coach to keep him from going to the New York Jets as offensive coordinator during the offseason.
