Mangini Looks For Guys who are Smart

Listening to the interview he chose his words wisely. I get the feeling that he will be a coach who demands the best out of his players and wont be a arrogant Coach like Butch Davis or a Fearful Coach like RAC.

We may have just landed a good one here!

I really liked 2 things he looks for in players....intelligence & competitiveness. You can have all the athleticism in the world, but if you are stupid & NOT competitive, you will nver realize your potential.

I really like this hire & I haven't felt that way in a long time.

Basic reading and writing will be emphasized.

Advanced math including division will be required for all future picks.

We are definately on the right path.

I'm curious if that has draft implications... would he be more inclined to favor Curry or Maluaga based on intelligence?

[Steeler SChick]

If Mangina's looking for someone smart in dirty, dirty Cleveland then his success should carry over from the J-E-T-S, Jets Jets Jets.

If you include dancing skills than Maluaga is a second day pick!!

Mangini Looks For Guys who are Smart, per his interview

He was also given the opportunity to fellate Quinn but declined, instead saying that it takes time to evaluate QBs.

If he wanted to win over the fans all he had to do was call Quinn the man and then label Shaun "Quinn-puncher" Smith a goner.

Instead he kicked off what could be a future rocky relationship with the city.

I have to politely disagree, I have seen numerous times when braylon has lowered his shoulders and delivered a hit to keep moving, he's also a fairly good blocker for a receiver

Oh how you leave out what he said he'll look for between the two QBs. Why is that? Oh because DA doesn't have a huddle presence (hence the number of delay of games and guys lining up wrong) or other qualities, other than his big arm.

Mangini will make an example of someone and cut him, no question - that's pretty standard for a new young coach and in Mangini's case he needs to try to put the genie back in the bottle, because he let players push him around, demanding contract extensions and trades in NY.

I expect the players will probably see this coming a mile away, but its a pretty proven technique to try to show them who the boss is.
