— -- Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine is expected to be fired during a meeting Sunday night with team owner Jimmy Haslam, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Pettine, who went 3-13 this season, and Haslam are scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, sources told Schefter.

Pettine was asked after Sunday's season-ending loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers what he thought he needed to say to Haslam in order to keep his job.

"I'm not into pleading," he said. "How we attack work every day, the players. That to me is the resume -- how hard the guys play, the effort that goes in, how hard we practice, what we do in meeting time, walkthrough, out on the practice field, how that carries over to the game field.

"I feel like we've done a lot of good things, but I'm the first one to tell you -- you've heard me say it a million times -- this is a pass/fail league, and the results aren't there. Nobody wants to hear it takes time. Nobody wants to hear it's a process, but that's the situation that we're in."

The Browns have gone 10-22 in two seasons under Pettine.
