Cleveland Browns players 'respect the heck out of' coach Rob Chudzinski as they prep for stretch drive

I liked Mangini and felt he should've been given more time. Was never a fan of Shurmur or Romeo. Liked Butch till he quit on the team. But I do really like Chud.

Rumors is the players didn't respect or believe in mangini. In the NFL that's half the battle.

My exact feelings as well...

I still say that if Fujita was not hurt against the Jets we go on to win that game, make the playoffs and Mangini remains the coach.

All things considered though, for the first time I feel like I like where we have ended up better than my above could-have-been scenario. And it feels pretty good.

I'd love to see where you heard that.

The only problem players reportedly had with Mangini is that he made them go to his camp in Connecticut or wherever the fuck.

Taking a team with as little talent as he had and beating the Saints and the Patriots in successive weeks does wonders for earning the respect and faith of your team.

Mangini was let go because Lerner was in panic mode...again. I still believe that Mangini, given another year without Kokinis, would have gotten the Browns to the playoffs.

despite what you all think...Mangini blows...he stunk with the jets...he stunk with the browns...he stinks period...and the team is far better off without his idiotic mantra bullshit..

Despite what you think, you're wrong about most everything you say.

This is no exception,

mangenious. loved that guy and at least the team played tough for him. uh, if we only had had a QB (record skipping noise in background). thanks holmgren!

still don't know about chud, but with the talent (some pre banner/lombardi, some since) that we have on this team we should be winning more games. and why did it take until week 8 to give this 'fired-up' 'in your face' halftime speech? seems like he might have done that a little sooner. like in week 4 maybe?

Despite what you think junior,,,your dead wrong..by all means have another drink and drunk post some more...your really good at it...

I heard the same thing about Mangini and the players a few years ago also.

I thought he could of done better if given time but he wasnt "Holmgrens guy".

And I know when he first came to cleveland he brought a ton of old dinosaurs in through FA and put us in a terrible spot later down the road for the cap.

Im not putting all of that on mangini Or kokinis but EM had say in bringing in those senior citizens from the jets. And his coaching style was too conservative and vanilla at times. With that being said I'm not even sure if we even blitzed back then. Oh well, fuck it.

The Jaguars better watch themselves on the 1st! Chud is gonna go all out!

Dont need hate alone to write music...theres a whole range of emotiona in music...Listen to one Rachmaninoffs compositions and you'll run the whole gamut of emotions listening to it. I write music for anyone that'll listen,but mainly because I enjoy doing it. It's something that comes natural to Me. And it's fun. Was never a fan of Anthrax or Slipnot. Never was a metal guy..Although I like elements of metal...It's too one dimensional..I employ elements of Jazz,Blues, Hard Rock and even Classical into My music. I like just about everything except Rap and Country. I play guitar mostly but,other instruments as well....
