Pettine reportedly has not spoken to the Browns owner about his future.
“I have a job to do, and the job is to prepare this team as well as I can to play the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Pettine told the Associated Press, referencing the final game of the season. “I don’t get caught up in that.”
He added that the middle of the season is not the time or the place for such conjecture, according to Cleveland.com.
