    Given that head coaching is an 80+ hour-a-week job, how does anyone do both jobs? Very puzzling to me.

      80 hours (HC)+ 80 hours (GM)= 160 hours.

      24 hours x 7 days= 168 hours.

      It works out perfectly, you only need 8 hours a week for sleep.

          I was going to say something along those lines, but I couldn't word it the way I wanted to.

              So a frightening thought just crossed my mind. Lerner said he wanted a "strong, credible leader" to oversee the football operations. He didnt say "at the GM position" Imagine this nightmare scenario, Lerner hires someone for a made up position like Senior Consultant of Football Operations and Mangini becomes defacto coach/GM. Being an insane control freak, I am sure Mangini would love this scenario to pan out. The Browns are a little schizophrenic right now, this could happen, hell, at this point I am not surprised by anything coming out of Berea.

              He already is the defacto GM, that's the problem! Kok didn't know/have anything to do with the Edwards trade until he saw it in the paper the following day! If the GM isn't making trades or evaluating players then WTF is he really doing? Nothing.

              Eric Mangini HC/GM a la Shanahan, Ditka, etc. That's the biggest problem right now with this team.

                Looking at the way things just happened it seems like Lerner is believing all the crap Mangini is feeding him

                  Um no a lack of talent is whats wrong with this team...and dont even bring up that he got rid of our talent because braylon and K2 arent exactly setting the world on fire with there new teams.....and with quinn not starting he's saving the team a lot of money. honestly would you pay 11million to an unknown product.

                  What we're seeing here in 2010 is precisely what happened in NE a decade ago. It worked for them then, and it wiill work for us now. Why? Because it's the only way it's ever worked in pro football. Just ask Paul Brown. Or Vince Lombardi. Or Tom Landry. .02, Clemdawg

                    I really don't get why people are flying off the handle. We just blew up the team this offseason. What did people expect 8-0? These things take time. Personally I thing EM has done a good job.

                      Don't worry. Lerner wouldn't be talking about finding that guy if he planned on just sticking with Mangini in that role.

                      I would say right now, the odds Mangini is even with the team next year are about 20%. Even with a strong 2nd half of the season...say win 3-4 games... it only increases to 50/50.

                      If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                        maybe we could keep him on and give him a job scrounging future draft picks out of nowhere.

                        that is a useful habit.
