  • first, the things i don't like: bad clock management (again), inability to make halftime adjustments (again), emotionless (again), two-gap, passive 3-4 (again).

    then, what i like: not on his first HC gig (maybe he learned something from being in NY), his D got 41 sacks last year (more than twice the 17 we had).

    i'm very conflicted about this hire. i think, in many ways, it's a lateral move. we just switched to a younger rac.

    i smell at least three more years of mediocrity coming.

  • The only way this is going to work out is if randy doesnt play matchmaker with the gm he needs to play fetch the gm instead and go get what mangini wants and needs in a gm to begin fixing things..

    If it happens this way i have a good feeling in my gut...

    As for you jet fans go enjoy your faggy GM and new coach..oh thats right no good coach wants the job with an overpowering GM looks like shottenslimer is your man...😉

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

    LOL! The thing to remember in this league: a head coach is only as good as his QB. BB before Tom Brady was winless in NE and before that he only won something like 1 year out of 4 in Cleveland. The days of body by Todd Philcox didn't look any different than the days of body by Dorsey/Gradkowski. Mangini had the Jets playing winning football when his QBs were healthy in 06 and 08.

    - Tom F. (If he's off the pine in 2009 - I think we win with Quinn)

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

    wolfman as DC? a blitz-heavy, risky scheme that puts our corners in man coverage where they belong? that's exciting. i hope he gets playcalling duties.

  • In that same ESPN article:

    But by the end of his tenure in the NFL's largest market, [Mangini] was being called moody, dour and controlling.

    Remind us of anyone?

    Isnt that what phil savage was a overpowering GM?

    he made good on some of his trades but was not willing to delegate his power and that was his fall.

  • it is clear that randy lerner is only concerned about making a profit off of the browns and not winning a championship. he has made it clear over the past 6 years that job number 1 is to make as much money as possible. he has never understood what football means to this town and how much we are dieing for a winner because he is not a cleveland guy; he is a business man from new york. his dad was great for this city and knew how much the browns meant to this city.

    i have grown up my entire life being a browns fan while my dad and his entire family are steeler fans from pittsburgh. every thanksgiving it is 15 steeler fans and me all by myself taking their crap. it looks like i will be taking their same crap for 4 more years because mangini is not the answer. i love how lerner said that he was "impressed" by mangini in his interview. he also said he was "impressed" by romeo. the only thing to look forward to now are two things; one being that mangini may do something right and draft ray maualuga. the other being that maybe in a few years the browns will still be in the same place they are now and randy lerner will say the words we are all waiting for; "i am selling the team."

    this is one of the greatest football towns in america and we have nothing to show for it. it is time that we took a step in the right direction and rid ourselves of randy lerner for good. until then i will continue to root for the browns with everything i've got and take my lumps on thanksgiving.

    once a fan, always a fan. married to a steeler fan. aaaaaaaaah! --andy

  • Mangini was the best fit and probably the best young talent to be had at the present.

    While other former unemployed head coaches were to good to come here we will be glad that we didnt hire a Cowher or Shanahan they would come with to many other loyalties to other franchises.

    To me hiring a those 2 would be like hiring a Loyd Carr.

    Oh yeh.........and you got yourself another fat a** that will walk the sidelines with ZERO emotion or FIRE.

    Mangini's emotion and fire, whatever it is, will seem like Bill Cowher compared to Crennel.

    This is an awesome, awesome day.

    First of all, I want to thank that dude's mom for breaking the story.

    1.) Tony Grossi needs to be enshrined in the Browns Hall of Fame as soon as yesterday. He has cockblocked Modell so bad that the evil MFer may never see the Hall.

    2.) Randy Lerner grew a set of nads. He didn't make the poplular choice, he made his choice.

    Apparantley we are now rivals with the Jets and the Patriots.

    Not worried about the Jets.

    It's a great day for Italian-Americans, people from Connecticut, guys with manboobs, and 3-4 linemen.

    This dude started out as the copy boy for the Old School Browns and now he's going to lead the New School Browns to the Promised Land.

    Doesn't get any better than that.

    --Glad we didn't wait around for three weeks for Shanahan to take a shit, like Skippy wanted to do

    But it does bro, his name is Mangina!

    2009-10 Browns Prediction: 8-8

  • I can live with this move as Mangini is said to be highly organized & Ryan as DC is a wonderful addition. A Head Coach MUST be surrounded with able assistants or he is screwed. I think Lerner may have it right this time. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the GM may already be decided upon & will be a guy EM can work well with. While we don't really know what will happen, I don't think it could be worse than we have seen.

    Let's be open to a fresh start. We have more talent than was utilized this past year, so let's just wait & see what happens with them & whatever new pieces are added. I am very pleased that we didn't hire a tired old coach & got a young man who COULD be a long term solution. I am optimistic.
