Deposed Mangini trumpets Browns' progress, has few regrets
-
Only reason the guy was fired was because Holmgren was brought in. It would have been nice if Holmgren didn't take that one year off and could have been brought in that year instead of Mangini so we didn't have to deal with firing him after two years, but thats just bad luck. I'm sure he will coordinate for a few years and then get back to head coaching and the team that picks him up will be lucky.

Mangini's legacy is that he started the Browns back on the right road. It'd be great if he went into the front office...
His choice of Dabol messed up the offense. That part I don't get.
Good luck to Mangini wherever he ends up.

I believe firing Mangini was a mistake and really dont think the next coach will fare any better with the lack of talent. I suppose the next coach will get little more time to produce a winner since he will be hired by Holmgren and will also be in a better position since Mangini got rid of the idiots Romeo brought in.
I for one thought they could get another OC under Mangini and roll with him for a couple more years

What do the folks think about the Mangini era in comparison with the Romeo era ?
-
First off let me say that I think Mangini is a great coach. Is he a good HEAD COACH though? That remains to be seen. I think he will probably grow into that role, but the one intangible that no one, not the media, not the fans, and not the organization is mentioning is his decisions ON the field. The inability of the team to capitalize on the situations handed to them. Gameplan or not if they have you figured out you need to adapt and I never saw EM adapt all season. To me this is the reason that MH let him go...Being an Ex-HC himself you can't fault MH for his decisions. Think after all of how he (MH) himself was demoted from GM/HC back to just HC. That in itself must have been a humbling experience...something that EM has not dealt with. My point is this...EM is not done as a HC. I guarantee that. MH was brought in here to establish a winner. Does he have a timetable? Of course he does. Its very possible that this past year was simply EM babysitting the team while MH evaluated first-hand what he really bought into. It's a business people. Plain and simple. The only reason everyone wants to win honestly is the revenue it brings in. Except the fans of course. I think EM would have turned the corner eventually but his love for Daboll and his inability to be able to pull through in the "clutch" is what I believe led to his downfall. He never gave MH the reason NOT to fire him...plain and simple. We are not moving into a new era at all...that started last year with the hiring of the FO. This is just like getting that FA pickup everyone has been coveting. After all of the love for MH and talk of "trust" it is amazing how many people are hating on him now...Also realize this...MH improved EM's stock greatly this year, he will have many many job offers. To me it looks like win-win for all involved, it's just us fans are too stupid to get out of our own way sometimes....

Oh and Romeo is Coordinator material only...nuff said...

Wow! Talk about looking back through rose colored glasses. Listen to you guys.
5-22 with the Browns and below .500 lifetime! Yes, I know talent wah wah wah.
Returned the Browns to relevance. Really? That disaster on Sunday was the only national game the Browns had this year and after the halftime crew got done laughing at the team the network cut away to a more competitive game. 6 min. later!!!! Gotta be a record. That is what the rest of the country thinks of the Browns too a joke.
Sure there were some improvements just like there were with Romeo or Butch or any coach but Mangini doesn't seem to have what it takes to be an HC.
Now you'all turn your venom to Holgrem.... a successful HC? You hate Holgrem who's taken teams to SB's you hate Romeo who won more in 1 season then any Browns coach in the last 10 years but love a guy who brought 2 5-11 season's while the rest of the leagues down teams found a way to win with what they have because of some perceived "right direction".
Mangini was another bad decision from the start. Holmgren will be the one to set this team in the right direction.
I don't like a new coach every 2 years and I hope that when they have the right guy he stays for 20 years.

10 bucks and my left nut say Mangini will not be hired as a head coach in the NFL again. Most everyone outside of Cleveland knew this guy was a bad coach and was living off of Bellichick's success. They ran him out of NY and there wasn't one other NFL team interested in him except Cleveland.
No one wanted him to coach their team then and no one will want him now. He like Crennel, Josh Daniels, Charlie Weis, tried to convince other teams of their Super Bowl experience but all of them have failed miserably without Bellichick.

first of all Mangini was 10-22 not 5-22 with the browns. both suck. the only pt. I will argue is that "the rest of the leagues down teams found a way to win with what they have."
I assume you are talking about the rams, chiefs, and bucs. All three teams beat 1 team with a winning record. rams were 7-9 in the worst division in the league (and worst division I have ever seen). that is not better than 5-11 in the AFC North. the chiefs were 2-4 in their mediocre division and got 4 freebie wins from the NFC West (rams division). the bucs got 4 freebie wins from the AFC West too. the bucs also beat carolina twice, cincinnati, cleveland, and washington. hardly a tough schedule. the only impressive win on their schedule was their victory over the saints. but then again, we beat them too...
