Former Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren and his agent spent their second day meeting with the Cleveland Browns about running their football operations.

Holmgren arrived Monday after being invited by Browns owner Randy Lerner and was again at team headquarters in Berea on Tuesday, club spokesman Neal Gulkis said.

Gulkis said Holmgren was accompanied by his agent, Bob LaMonte.

It is not known if Holmgren has been offered a job by Lerner, who last month said he wanted to hire a "serious, credible leader" to run the team. In an e-mail to The Associated Press, Lerner suggested the sides were still talking but gave no specifics.

Sources tell ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that Holmgren is hoping to have his future clarified and secured by Christmas. He recently returned from a nine-day vacation to Mexico with his wife, Kathy, where the couple was believed to have discussed his potential options.

Even if the Browns reach an agreement with Holmgren, it's possible they may have to conduct further interviews to comply with the league's "Rooney Rule," which mandates that a team must interview at least one minority candidate before filling a front-office vacancy.

If Holmgren decided to take the Cleveland job, sources say the future of head coach Eric Mangini would be in considerable jeopardy. Mangini told WTAM that he met with Holmgren.
