    Your ass got fired, Mangina

    (giddy up ah oomp papa maw maw)

    A couple years ago when everyone here was all excited about Mangina being the new HC, I correctly stated that hiring yesterdays chopped liver wouldn't do shit.

    I'm once again correct, as I usually am.

    Same for Holmgren. I don't think Holmy gets fired anytime soon but he's not a turn-around guy. The fact that he took a job in dirty, dirty Cleveland shows what credibility the guy has.

    Don't expect the next HC to be of pedigree, unless you pay him a substantial premium - which is what the stains might have to do to turn the ship around.

  • Sherman's name crossed my mind.

    I wouldn't be shocked to see him at the helm.

  • I remember when Cleveland didn't want Bill Belichek either. I am not saying that Manigini is the next Belichek but I do believe Holmgren made a mistake today. Proof of his mistake will be seen in Mangini being successful elsewhere. Also after this years draft our next coach gets us to the playoffs clearly illustrating the positive impact Mangini had on this team.

    Hopefully we will get a good coach and hopefully it will not be Holmgren. He is one man and he should only have one job for us. I seem to remember Seattle finding out it was a bad idea for Holmgren to do more than one job at a time.

  • I was listening to the radio (ESPN) on the way home from work today and Marty Morninweg's name was mentioned as possibly a strong candidate for our head coaching vacancy. I pulled over just in time to violently throw up. When the episode had passed, it occured to me that if we are in fact going to hire another half-a$$ed head coach, we must have a plan. Then I hatched a plan. We will keep Brian Daboll as Offensive Coordinator. Since we will most likely lose Rob Ryan in the offseason, we will hire his father, 77 year old Buddy Ryan, as defensive coordinator. Next, we hire Tom Cable, who will most likely be let go by Oakland, as Head Coach. Now, we can look forward to watching Buddy and Tom repeatedly punch Brian on the sideline. In the face.

  • I think another interesting name that could be out there is Jeff Fisher IF the Titans decide to let him go. That man is just a good coach. My gut feeling right now is that we bring in Fox if we can't persuade Gruden to coach again. If neither of those guys work out, then I think it's Holmgren

    I think Jeff Fisher is an excellent coach as well would love to see his name in the mix if available.

    Browns QB Seneca Wallace has stated that Holmgren informed players that he does not intend to return to coaching. - OBR.

    No offense to Holmgren but I am glad to hear this. He's the president and should focus on doing the best job of that alone.

  • It was a setup. Holmgren brought two QBs in who threw pick sixes to cost us games. He knew that nobody could win this year so he simply waited until next year to bring in his guy and blamed mangini. I've lost a lot of respect for holmgren

    pls tell me you are being sarcastic

  • Come on now, conspiracy theory, really??

    I have bashed mangini for a while. I can't remember another coach though who grew on me as a person. I think mangini did put his heart and soul into turning us around. Is it fair? Probably not. Mangini actually did change from year 1 in cleveland. I just think it came down to him being too conservative and holmgren wanting to put his stamp on the franchise.

    The hours these guys put in are crazy. I know mangini will be fine. He is a smart guy with a ton of money.

    I wonder if he took the approach he did in his 2 year with us if things would have turned out different in ny..

  • Why is no one talking about Bill Cowher? He knows how to win in this division and it seems as though he is wanting to coach again. I would hope that Holmgren at least inquires!

  • Welp, this guy is probably gone:
