    There were similar rumbles in the media during Mangini's tenure with the Jets. It didn't, however, seem to affect the Jets' ability to acquire high profile players (i.e. Faneca, Jenkins, Pace) when they went on a $100 million+ spending spree for the 2008 season.

    I was kind of surprised that Damien Woody bashed Mangini. He was part of that $100M+ spending spree (he got a 5 year, $25.5 deal).

    Yeah, that was a bit jarring in light of the fact that he was very sympathetic to Mangini when he got fired as evidenced by this quote:

    Mangini also had the respect of his players.

    "I still feel bad," Jets tackle Damien Woody said. "I just feel like there's no reason this team shouldn't be in the postseason right now.

    "He shouldn't have gotten fired. As players, we let him down. We didn't play our best ball down the stretch. We had everything in our control, and we let it slip away from us."

    I probably sound like a Mangini apologist (and it's definately not a good time to be one after the Jekyll & Hyde showing by the Browns) but many players recently changing their tunes seem like the case of "blame everything on the previous guy". I see plenty of that in my own team's message boards.

  • Actually Florio....Coles and Baker DID have their deals reworked. Quietly. Get your facts straight. As a matter of fact, Coles was very outspoken when they fired Mangini as was Kris Jenkins who came to NY only because of Mangini.

  • We're not overpaying for FAs because the head coach is a jerk, we're overpaying because we're not a winning team and we have staph running rampant in the training room.

    Look at the Pats, Bill is the biggest douche in the NFL and people line up to play in NE.

    You win and everyone wants to be a part of you.

    3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

  • Mangini will need to build from scratch until he proves that he runs a winning operation then the loser bums will line up10 thick agents approval or not...the fewer puke bags we pick up at inflated prices the better as long as we get enough to keep the roster full..since these below to mediocre rejects rarely have much more talent then the other ones it dont really matter much which ones are picked they serve a temporary role...

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • Wow, an employer treating potential employees like garbage! This is not news.

    Exactly - everyone already knows no one wants to play for the Browns. In many cases that has nothing to do with Mangini.

    Everything's going exactly to plan for Mangini. He learned from Belichick that the path to coaching success involves being fired as the Head Coach of the Browns. Mangini is WAY ahead of schedule.

    Randy Lerner must be so pleased.

    The weather,the talent level,the fans,the recent history of suckitude, the No fun style of the program and the coach! Yes I believe the story, it hasn't changed and won't change until we are winning division titles again. Period! Same thing said about Savages regime....and he did over pay. Let's face it, C-town ain't a great place to be in December. The economy aint that great either....BUT

    ...We're not Detroit!

  • We have to overpay because we stunk for 10 years.

  • Whaaa, Whaaa If these guys think a 10 hour custom bus ride is hardship they had better be saving their money.
