    Media was waiting to jump on this the minute the season ended. That's all it is to me.

    I'm still gonna be a little worried bout this whole situation till Holmgren comes out and says exactly what is going to happen though.

  • I really think we need to keep Mangini. I have a feeling however that Holmgren is going to clean house like some have said. I think it's a mistake. If he gets rid of Mangini get ready for another year of disappointments.

  • Big Show may have just had some Gyro George's that didn't agree with him. There is no validity to this rumor. However, I believe if he has to choose between the GM and Mangini, he'll go with his boy the GM. This concerns me because reports are saying that this Heskell guy or whoever, wants another gig because Reid calls all the shots and he has no power in Philly. If this is true, and it sounds logical, than is this GM candidate really that great?

  • With george mcdonald taking a job with rutgers im taking it as a sign of things to come...im thinking EM one way or another is a goner and now its just a matter of when and on what terms..i dont see EM or most of his assistants having a problem getting gigs except daboll who will likely never coordinate in the nfl again and that wouldnt be a bad thing..

    I'm not so sure, Diehard.

    I know some people are euphoric about the 4-game winning streak. I am not suggesting this was not a nice finish. However, I believe Holmgren will look at Mangini's entire body of work and, in the end, that will be his demise in Cleveland.

    Things that will be difficult for Mangini to overcome:

    The QB situation still is a big mess and continues without a clear future

    The Kok mess

    The woman from the Jets - I forgot her name - who Mangini brought in. Afterward she left or was jettisoned from the organization.

    His track record in NY - I am sure Holmgren will seek input from Favre and Favre's input will be horrible. Also, the players in NY quit on him.

    Maybe, even the fact that he - alledgedly - dropped the dime on NE, creating the 'snooping' controversy.

    All in all, I believe the above - and more - will weigh heavily on Holmgren's decision and I still believe Mangini will be let go.

    PS Has Lerner returned to Cleveland yet or is he hiding until Holmgren does his dirty work?

  • Mangini out in Cleveland would make life more difficult for Holmgren esp since next years schedule is tougher than this year and if the new coach will find it harder to have a talent devoid roster play their hearts out for him. If he does fire Mangini i hope it is not for Zorn or somebody similar !

  • IMO: Holmgren keeps the Mangenius atleast for one more year, and if things turn south he can kick the scape goat out.

    This will be the new soap opera in Berea, let the drama queens begin their writing.

    Its the off season..no players..just evaluations getting done..Get there at 7;00 leave at 6:00 seem reasonable to me..The press is absurd.

  • I don't know ...

    Tony Grossi said that as he was chasing Mangini in the Browns executive parking lot, the coach dropped the following document:

  • Now that almost had me spit coffee on my keyboard. LOL

    Meanwhile, Stan, I hope you guys with a lot of points on Alabama lose. GGG

    We want to stay in the top ten.

    GO TEXAS !!!

    Suck. I wonder if he has new evidence or if this is just a gut feeling. In days past he has been more uncertain.
