  • Did Mangini ever win a big game in New York? Outside of beating the pats.

    Yeah the Jets beat the Pats in 2006 on the road to get into the Wild Card Round, and then Chad Pennington choked against the Pats in that playoff game. In 2007 our team sucked, and this year we won on the road in New England and Tennessee. Those were two huge wins but after that the wheels fell off and the Jets went into collapse mode.

  • This just smells like a bad hire....especially with young NFL coordinators who are ready to lead a franchise. I had no idea who Mike Tomlin was when the Steelers hired him...but, I am thrilled they did!

  • Here we go again with this "Brett Favre lost it for the Jets" song and dance again. If Favre had not gone to New York, there's a good chance Mangini would've started Kellen Clemens, because he certainly wasn't high on Chad going into this season. How many games do you think Mangini would've won without Favre?

  • If Mangini gets a new OC and DC (which he's getting) he'll be fine.

    He's drafted well and done due dilligence finding the guys he wants that are high character.

    He'll be a good coach. As for bringing you far in the playoffs? That I have yet to see. But at the very least you're going to get a good core group of guys that aren't hard to get behind.

    I'm not very inclined to listen to the opinion of a guy who had never heard of his new head coach until they announced his name at the presser.

    ESPN Article

    This states that Brian Daboll (Current Jets Quarterbacks coach) and Rob Ryan (Current Raiders Defensive Coordinator) will be his coordinators.

  • As long as he's not bringing Brian Schottenheimer im pleased, we're getting a HC with 2 winning seasons out of his first 3 whilst he was changing the defence from a 4-3 to a 3-4, we're not the most attractive of propositions right now so im pleased with Mangini, and its a coach with nfl experience which is a must have for me.

    1st... Has Tomlin won a big game in Pittsburgh? 2nd... how the hell can you call this a bad hire when you had never even heard of Tomlin?

  • Again, Rob Ryan sounds like a good hire to me. But given how Ryan ran a 4-3 in Oakland, would Cleveland make that change or would Ryan change his scheme?

  • Did Mangini throw all of those int's at the end of the season? So you can't give 100% of the blame to the HC.

    agree,,thats what happens when a qb is pushed down your throat from up above,,where did i hear that happening before....

    You'll see a hybrid D that runs both 3-4 and 4-3 like his brothers D in Baltimore. It will be a 1 gap aggressive blitzing D. Wow I cant wait for the first game against Baltimore. I think Cleveland will finally have a D to rival the Stoolers and Ratbirds!

    Im not thrilled about letting Chud go though I really think the guy has talent and he proved it last year. I have no clue who this Jets Qb coach is and need to find out more...

    Ryan coached 3-4 in New England with RAC and Mangini.

  • Im going to say this now so I am on the record, I don't like this hire at all. Mangini??? Are you serious, that is the best coach out there that we can get, ughhhh, when does baseball start. 😠

  • i love that we hired a guy that didn't interview with anyone else. this makes perfect sense for randy lerner to hire a guy that nobody else interviewed. perhaps the best part of the whole thing is that lerner said he was "blown away" and "impressed" by mangini's interview. if you recall lerner was also "blown away" and "impressed" by romeo's interview as well. attention randy lerner: SELL THE TEAM

    I believe....I HOPE that if Mangini fails then it will almost force Lerner to question himself to the point of selling the team. Because this hire is strictly on him and him alone. He rolled the dice on his own beliefs and must live or die with the consequences!

  • I really don't know what to think about Mangini, but I will take the "best of luck Browns fans," because I think we're going to need it. I'm just glad that Cowher is not in the picture, I don't think I could have handled it.

    Bad drafts, bad coaching/personnel moves, bad whatever, we desperately need a turnaround.
