    Yes he admits he has no football sense, but neither do half the other owners in the league, they just hired the right guy. Falcons definitely wouldn't be in the shape they are if it wasn't for taking Accorsi's advice.

    i understand that he is a business man and he knows that he has no football sense but he has to know to stay away from a guy who just got fired and NO OTHER TEAM even wanted to interview him. it is like going camping in california in late summer/early fall. you will get burned.

    How do you know no other team wanted him? Ernie Accorsi recommended him and he(Accorsi) is pretty good at finding front office people.

    because it's been documented that he only had interviews with one team. nobody else even wanted to call him in for a single interview. they knew he is no good.

    See that was all that was documented, and I don't believe it to be the case.

    Good question, I'm still searching for who recommended Mangini or did Lerner just get blown away in an interview with him.

    From what it sounds like to me is that Lerner was in the process of interviewing both Mangin and Kokinis, and that both had mutal respect for one another and Lerner felt it was going to be a good fit, and that was most important to him as Savage and Crennel perhaps were not.

    Not sure who recommended Mangini, but remember the article that stated Lerner was getting ready to talk to the press and the press told him that Mangini was just fired. Lerner basically cancelled his press meeting and went to get Mangini.

    Lerner took Mangnini off the market before anyone could interview him.

    It would be nice to find out who recommended mangini to Lerner, hope it wasn't RAC

    initially when RAC was fired and Mangini was hired i too was happy cos it did seem like an upgrade, but never did i realize that we would be heading towards where we are.

    well then dig through the old threads about mangini's hiring from 10 months ago or google eric mangini being hired by the browns. there is plenty of evidence there.
