Dan Pompei Says Mangini Will Get Axed
-
It doesn't matter what any of us believe.
There is a chance mangini will be fired. You have to look at holmgren. He took over the browns football operation to turn this around. How many times do guys get fired because he is not his guy? Mangini isn't his guy.
It will all come down to if holmgren can live with the difference in football ideals.

i think it's the time we live in. where everything factual is known seconds after it happens...........when there's nothing actually happening these internet 'journalists' (if you can call them that) just start swinging at the air and hope something connects, that way they look like geniuses. i give them as much respect as i give GALFREETS or FORMERLY STONE...........which is zip.

True, but if Holmgren really cared about him being "his" guy...then there would have been no better time to fire him than last off-season. I don't think Holmgren coaches the Browns, ever. That's just my opinion.

exactly AND homgren was hired to be the prez of the org NOT COACH. basically he's a manager and he's overseeing everything top to bottom. why would holmgren give EM a chance, see that the team is/has improved and then fire him. not very logical jim.

AFC North final say
James Walker: Mangini is doing a better job of coaching this year. But I think Holmgren's decision is yet to be determined, so it's hard to say either way. It will come down to the team's performance in these final four games. The next two weeks are huge. The Browns have to beat the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, who are a combined 4-20. Beating the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are much stiffer challenges. But the philosophical differences are legit, because if the Browns aren't winning enough under Mangini, the people in the front office can always point to what they would do different. If Mangini finishes 8-8, he should be safe. But if he goes 7-9 or less, that would place a difficult decision in Holmgren's hands.
And trust me, Holmgrem and Gruden are close.

It was linked on OBR, thought it was worth bitching about. My personal opinion is this, since Choco so kindly asked for it: You can't argue that the team is more competitive. If they close strong, you can definitely make a case that Mangini be retained.
However, Holmgren is the top of the food chain and we all know he doesn't like Daboll's offense or playcalling and that's an issue that isn't simply going to evaporate. Can Mangini and Holmgren find peace with Holmgren's offense and Mangini's defense? Maybe. Or maybe Holmgren falls on his sword.
And my opinion on Haden has always been that he's very good. I didn't like the pick, which is different. I would have rather traded down a little, drafted Dez Bryant, and found a corner a little later. How do I feel now? I think the Browns are probably lucky I'm not the GM, because we have Haden, he's getting beastly, and we can draft our #1 WR next year. If McCoy is all that next year and Hardesty makes some noise? Pretty amazing draft for Heckert and one I admittedly wasn't all that stoked over.
Choco... have I been saying shitty things to you? Do you not feel a little weird being an ass to me when I never say anything remotely nasty to you? I would, but that's me.

That logic worked after last season. That would've been the time to fire him. The team is heading in the right direction and I don't think it makes sense at this point to go back and start all over again with a new coaching staff.

No one that I watched the draft with thought that our draft was anygood until we got Colt McCoy in the 3rd since we thought we would get him in the 2nd. The only thing we could say was we will see when the season starts and so far we haven't been disapointed. It kind of sucks to see our 4th and 5th round picks not make the team, but Mitchel is still approving and Lauvao is too and I can't wait to see how good Hardesty is next year and well we all know how well the other three picks have worked for us.

no....i dont shep. not at all.
its your demeanor....your agenda. leading up to the draft, thru training camp, and the beginning of the season we had to endure your opinion about this franchise cause youre so right all the time. now you skip back and forth between the boards with little gems like this to continue your attempts to assert your opinion...clinging to any evidence that may lay credence to you being right. while over at spec board, you defamed this board many...many times. they ran you out and you come crawling back like nothing happened. you failed to eat your crow there, and you wont do it here either.
had you not run your mouth about us to the extent you did, i may not care. months and months of dawging haden cause you didn't like the pick. the kids in the running for DROY and not a xxxxing peep from you. what irks me is you still dont even recognize just how poorly your predictions and player evaluations are....you still think your shit doesnt stink.
so, no shep. i have no problem calling it like i see it. you fight and fight with everyone and anyone to prove your correct, then move on to the next topic when your wrong. you ran from here cause we're ignorant assholes, ran from specs board when they got sick of your shit....just why the xxxx are you here? we were just fine without you....better without you. is your list of friends that short that u have nowhere else to go?
xxxx that....

Wow, people are Retarded. You know I'm not sure why people take things so personal. People get so mad about opionions, the only people I truley dislike is steeler fans.
imagine how boring this board would be if we all thought the same.

Heartily agree Rebel... bring back the Rich and Ghoolie Show when the Boys were still primetime material and let's really start stirring up shit!!!!
As a party of one, I always enjoy reading Shep's posts. And Zombo's. And Alo's. And Fluges. And Stan's. And Larry's. And way too many more to list, but the all reasons the Browns Board is on my bookmark bar...
The more the merrier. Isn't that why we're all here?
p.s. though I did put a block on Lummy.

Just another writer stiff looking for something to try to predict, he knows nothing. Neither does the media here, there are a lot of radio and TV guys running around like they have some sort of insider info that Mangie will be let go, I guess they talk with the Walrus personally. Firing Mangie will be stupider then giving Dexter The Serial Drive Killer that big contract and spending a first and second on Queen. It will set this franchise back once again for quite a few years.
These guys that love to bitch about Mangie's draft last year kill me in that they forget we barely had any picks before he got here. He got us picks and a bunch of needed bodies to form part of the team's nucleus, the same guys who bought in and get others to buy in. Then you factor in the Benard's, Roth's, Moore's, Schaefering's and such for nothing and I'd say that more than makes up for failing with Veikune and some of the bottom of the draft guys like Francies {who is back with the team BTW---and Don "Soon singing at a club near you" Carey--who starts with Jax now.} I also recall a ton of people sporting oak over James Davis as the steal of the draft or something etc. Carey got plucked by a pretty taboo maneuver by Jax, one that if Mangie would have made all we would hear about nationally with dbags like Florio is how slimeballish Mangie is. Kaluka Maiava has contributed plenty in a backup and special team role, it's not like every fourth rounder (the great Beaumont Bell anyone?--our Thumper) kicks ass and makes Pro Bowls every year. Phillip drafted that stupid fook and he had a learning disorder to go along with Olive Oyl ankles dat da ich would have been proud of......or sumtin.
I got news for folks too, Robo and Momass ain't failures yet. Sure we need some more playmakers, but let me ask folks this: How good would Austin Collie or Pierre "The Waiter" Garcon be here right now?
Robo and MoMass (once MoMass gets better at route adjustments--which comes with QB familiarity) can be decent WR's in this league, so don't pour the champagne just yet on predicting them as failures. Robo was considered the most pro ready of that draft's bunch and that was what we needed desperately at the time. Let's give Colt a season with these guys and some consistency, especially with another weapon or two to help. I don't see any Reginald Wayne's or Dallas Clark's running around here right now.
Veikune was a bust, that is a given. He is the type that sometimes you strike gold on, but in this case he was another "Chihuahua in a Meat Market". I certainly ain't bitching about Alex Freaking Mack. Not sure if folks know this or not, but centers are kinda important in this league--just a tad. Ask Pittsburgh, those fooks just nailed a great one in Pouncey....again.
I'll take the Former Manzere's offseason last year over any one of Phillip's----ever!!! Drafting the few guys Phillip did with stiffs RAC 'n ROLLS didn't even want killed this franchise, and Mangie got the job of trying to dig us out of it. When you look back at last year's draft, rather than staring at that second round, how about looking at guys like Elam, Coleman, Stuckey, Barton, Bowens, Trusnik, Bubba Ventrone, Blake Costanzo---finding Hodges---developing Rubin and this year Yates---being a huge proponent of getting Hillis---the list goes on.
Really folks, go back and compare our roster two years ago to what it is now, you will shit. Not all of that was done this past offseason by Walruses' "Saviors of the Universe", I assure you.
We have a great combo of a young, solid, disciplined and well schooled system coach with great leadership and front office skills----all backed by Big Money Randy---a guy who doesn't get near enough credit for caring the way he does. We are going to be real good, and soon, but built the right way from inside out. Firing Mangie, regardless of the outcome of the last four games, would be the dumbest move this franchise has done in a long time, and they've done a few. I can't imagine for a second The Walrus is that stupid.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. The thing is, I'm here for information and entertainemnt.
I recall when i first joined here there was a whole thread dedicated to bashing shpewrite. I'm not sure why? I'm a much bigger ass, all I get is blocked or the occassional sarcastic email.
Btw, zombos post are the best on here. The guy cracks me up.
