Here is the deal now on Holmgren:
He is now the face of the Browns, responsible for everything associated with the team, whether he was involved or had input or not.
He is like our "Front Office Quarterback". I things go right, he will get all the glory. If things go wrong, he will get all the blame.
Fair to say
?Not at all...there's gotta be tons of journalists waiting to praise holmgren for the success, and hang mangini for any failures. The whole scapegoat plan, and the articles are already written and just waiting to be published.
Yet, d say most of those guys live in boston.

OK, good point. Though I would say that more of the critics reside in NYC.

The head coach is almost always the fall guy. It takes a long time for FO to get the blame (Matt Millen).

True. I brought this up about 2 days before Holmgren was hired. Because what Mangini was doing last year didn't manifest itself until the last 5 games of the season, Holmgren will get all the credit for turning this thing around because like I said then, it was getting turned around. Mangini won't get any media love but I myself have been gushing over the chubby fella since training camp last year. And despite what the media says and nomatter what emails they pick and choose to read on the air, a lot of fans were feeling the same way I was, and am now. Mangini has been doing this thing the right way. Heckert and Holmgren were the icing on the cake and now it's time to eat!!

I have been blocked by WKNR on 3 seperate email accounts. Can somebody please email them on our behalf and remind them that Heckert and Holmgren didn't run the draft. It was Mangini and Heckert, in that order. They fail to realize that Mangini is even on the staff. The only time they mention him is when they ask "Are these players for mangini or the next coach?"
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I will be listening on my way home, I have a tape deck in my car and all of my cassetes are melted.
Yours Truley,

Just because you have had an enormous photo of a smiley happy Mangini after a 6-3 blowout of Buffalo as your signature since the 6-3 blowout of Buffalo you think that makes you a #1 Mangini fag?!?!
Well I guess it does actually. Okay, you can be a Mangini fag too.
Like I said about two posts up, I wasn't alone in this by any means and you have been in his corner all along as well. I just really wish the media would cover the Browns with a little less bias and some integrity. Much like we do on here. For the most part.

The media these days is all about getting a story for the sake of a story versus getting the right story. There's a LOT of yellow journalism being written these days in and out of the sports world. I don't mind people trying to sell some papers but at least write or talk the truth.
The truth is perhaps Mangini isn't the most open guy about things but he does know the hell out of football. The national and local media couldn't handle that, so instead of trying to, they just chose to attack the man instead. It felt very highschool antic-like to me.

disagree in part. he's like a homer QB where he gets credit for all--even running plays--but is free of any blame.He is now the face of the Browns, responsible for everything associated with the team, whether he was involved or had input or not.

?Mangini is the patsy, MH would come out like a rose, at least in any situation i can dream up.
OT: i'm convinced the press controls at least 50% of American minds--it's impressive. WKNR can effectively shape opinion and they know it.

Look into who owns the press and the media then you will find the answer to mind control lol.

Haha. Funny thing is, I picked that picture as my sig only because somebody commented they had never seen Mangini with any sort of emotion on his face other than his sourpuss default expression. And because it kind of looks like him and Eric Barton are both yelling at B-Mac.
To tell you the truth, I kind of dig the fact that the media constantly hates on Mangini. It gives him more credibility, in my book. I've learned to take what the media reports with a grain of salt, and if the media is berating Mangini, well... he must be doing something right.
I'm a fan of the underdog, and Mangini has essentially been that since leaving NY. Nobody wished for him to succeed after the Spygate ordeal, and the entire country has been watching us epically fail since we came back.
When Mangini came to Cleveland, it seemed like a match made in ass-backwards heaven. The shunned coach leaving the biggest media market in America and taking a job as commander-in-chief of the perennial losers? Hollywood couldn't write better a better plot. We were set up for failure yet again, according to Steeler Nation, Jet Nation, Patriot Nation, the American Nation. "Mangini is a sourpuss", "Mangini inherited Herm's team", "Mangenius is a Mangina" - we heard it all. And we sat there quietly and waited.
We waited while he implemented a system in Cleveland. We watied as he traded away our key players and brought in his own guys. We wondered, we questioned, but we still waited. And he did something for us no coach has done successfully since PB himself. He instilled discipline. Sure, he brought in what some may call "lower-quality" players, but they were "higher-quality" men. He forsook talent for character.
Granted, the level of talent we had previously fielded wasn't necessarily that high to begin with. But what little talent we did have was holding us back. Mangini recognized that, and he excised the tumors. And, just like that, our team was formed. A team that, on paper, looked like it would be evenly-matched against a CFL team. But what they didn't have on paper, they had in their hearts. There's a lot that can be said for a man that never gives up, and we had 53 of such men on our roster.
Starting out, the season was rough. We all felt the nagging pull of doubt. But as the season neared an end, something happened that we haven't seen for years. Our team came together. They fought...and won. As one.
And now, looking into the future with Holmgren and Heckert in the mix, I see only good things for our Cleveland Browns. I hope the media keeps ganging up on Mangini. I want them to keep bad mouthing us. I hope they keep us in their "dog pound". Because that's what we are - Dawgs. And like any good canine, we do our best fighting when our backs are up against the wall.
There's my rant for the day.
