    I agree. We are playing hard...something that couldn't be said the last few years about this time of the season.

    I wouldn't mind if we get Holmgren, but I hope we don't get rid of Mangini at this point.

    I think we have a pretty good coach, and one who I think the players respect.

    Cutting him now would be a mistake IMO.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

      I would take Holmgren or the Chin over M.

      I still think Mangini is just getting lucky against terrible teams.

      Are you not sick of being mediocre or plain bad?

        As sick as anyone.....but coaching isn't the problem.

        Add players, and this team is on track.

          lets not make an assumption that either are better coaches, and would be better here.

            Hats off to Mangini and the coaching staff. For the first time in the new era the mounting injuries haven't been an excuse. Very much the opposite of an excuse actually, more like opportunities for others to step-up and contribute and pick-up the pace even.

            The lower tier guys appear to be better coached (or at least have bought into the sytem) moreso than the starters that Mangini inherited.

            Screw Holmgren ... KEEP MANGINI and find the guys some top scouts to contribute.

            Great post Stan! These last 3-4 weeks have been fun to watch and we're building momentum.

                Tom, I agree about the excitement in this team the last month or so since the bye. I think that if Holmgren takes the job we have to be mindful that Mangini may be gone simply because Holmgren wants to put his own guy there (independent of what Mangini has done). I think that, given the progress on the field, this would be disturbing. No one is saying that the Browns have lit the world on fire but the players are playing hard for this coach trying to build and finish strong. What happens if that all gets yanked out from under them? That would be a concern. We'd be taking a step back simply to do so.

                  If Holmgren forces out Mangini I'm going to cry. This team is kicking ass and taking names and gives me a lot of hope for next year.

                      You're right. You play whoever's on the schedule. No one was crying for us when we were playing playoff contenders early in the year.
