<![CDATA[Mangini on Shurmur]]>Former #Browns coach Eric Mangini appearing on SportsCenter. He just talked about Cleveland hiring Pat Shurmur. #NFL

Mangini on Shurmur: "I think he's a really bright guy. I think he's got a great understanding of football and of the scheme that he runs."

Former #Browns coach Eric Mangini on new Browns coach Pat Shurmur: "I really think he's an excellent choice." #NFL

More Mangini on Shurmur: "He and Tom (Heckert) will be on the same page with personnel (b/c of their time) working together in Philadelphia"

More Eric Mangini on new #Browns HC Pat Shurmur: "He runs the traditional West Coast system, so that's a good fit with Mike (Holmgren)" #NFL

#Rams HC Steve Spagnuolo on Pat Shurmur: β€œI very much appreciate Pat and what he has done to help us grow as a team these last two years."

#Rams RB Steven Jackson on Pat Shurmur: β€œHe was a good coordinator for the Rams and on Sundays, he got the most out of his players." #Browns

#Rams QB Sam Bradford on Shurmur: "He truly helped my transition from college to the NFL game. I think he will be a really good head coach.”

I have to say, this has to be one of the classiest "fired" reactions I have ever seen.

Record or no record Mangini was building something. This team is better off than they were when Mangini got here. Now let's hope Shurmur doesn't want to completely blow it up and start over. Moving to a 4-3 is a bad idea, starting from scratch AGAIN isn't an option right? Shurmur needs to know he has to win not start over and go 1-15 or 2-14. To me that isn't acceptable and he needs to be accountable. The fans and the city of Cleveland, especially right now, deserve better.

I doubt he completely blows it up. There is going to be turnover, that was going to half to happen regardless of who the coach was. Our LBs are pedestrian, we can't keep using Barto, Trusnik, and Schaeffering as starters or big contributors. I would prefer we stay with the 3-4 as well, we will see how it goes. We still have lots of holes to fill.

If he wasn't "his guy" he should have fired EM right off the bat. No, I haven't forgotten that, not by a long shot.

Yeah- that's the ticket- give Shurmer a lot more rope than Mangini- because he runs "your" system. I'm just thrilled about the prospect of ANOTHER rebuilding year or three until Holmgren retires, and Heckert takes over.

And there you have it- how do you (or anyone else) know that Shurmur couldn't be the next Josh McDaniels and absolutely suck as a head coach? Fortunately, H&H won't let him trade Joe Thomas for a couple of 4th round draft picks.

I'll tell you what- I've grown mighty tired of the "win now" bleaters here. So Shurmur loses the opener, I'm on his ass from day one. Fair enough?

I think Holmgren, gave him a fair shake. Got a year to watch him work day to day. If he was progressing as he wished I am sure he would have gotten another year. I personally probably would have given him another year, but also if you look at things he screwed up a lot too.

Actually, it's the Can-gini crowd that needs to give it a rest already. You got your wish- and like they say- "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

There hasn't been anyone here coming close to your description of "Mangini Worship"- unless you want to define that as giving the guy ONE more year to get it right.

Yeah, there was plenty of bitching about Mangini's flaws- but there was UNDENIABLE progress being made- unless you're like a total dolt- and you know who you are- that wanted to suggest the W-L record is the end all, be-all meter of coaching quality.

So for you instant gratification crowd, maybe you'll get your wish and see the Browns turn it around to 10-6 (or 11-7 depending how the CBA turns out) and then watch them go into the toilet, just like the flash in the pan soft schedule DA led Browns of a few years back. Mangini said many times he was going for SUSTAINABLE excellence, not a one and done.

What do the Steelers have that we don't? If you answer STABILITY, go to the head of the class.

I'll just say this Nicks- I out-age you by a decade +, and I'd love to see the Browns play in a Super Bowl (and maybe even win one) before I croak. But one thing's for certain- you're not getting there changing coaches every couple of years like a pair of worn out socks.

Im all for stability...but Im not for keeping a coach who is a liability for the team..he makes bad gameday descisions.....Some people cant get it through thier head he was NOT Holmgrens guy...Mangini is a loser...Im glad hes gone..it was a bad hire on Lerners part for not having a President/GM in place.

You are forgetting that Magini wasn't Holmgren's guy which I think was part of the whole process. He thought there was a better coach out there that could do a better job after watching another 5-11 season. Holmgren knows you can hire a new coach ever couple of years so unless Shurmur is a collasal screw up I expect him to be around for a while.

@hoorta said:

And there's the problem. ONLY looking at wins and losses- not taking other factors into consideration. Yeah Kansas City sure turned it around all right- only playing one team with a winning record. Oh, and then they had to play a REAL team in the playoffs- the Ravens- and guess what? They got blown out, just like they would have playing in the AFC North. Instant gratification goobers. Tom Landry went 13-38 his first couple years with suck teams at Dallas. Bill Belichick was nothing home to write about his first few coaching stints. (LOL Modell will go down in history firing two-and maybe three- if Marty ever makes it HOF coaches) So Shurmur doesn't turn it around immediately, can his ass too. That's been the Cleveland way since 1999.

Mangini's gone, can't feel too sorry for a guy who will collect $7 million bucks over the next two years for not working. I just hope Holmgren's right. One thing for certain- I'm not going to be dancing in the streets anytime soon just because the Browns have a new coach.

You are forgetting that Magini wasn't Holmgren's guy which I thikn was part of the whole procress. He thought there was a better coach out there that could do a better job after watchig another 5-11 season.

i'm a browns fan till the day i die. just got the aholes who wished for all of this to happen on a short list. we'll see if you "oh it's a better schedule so we'll make it to the playoffs no matter who the coach is " or "he had two years to do it and he didn't do it so get rid of him" guys..........so when it doesn't happen i can rub your nose in shit like you have mine. and i can prove you wrong. (hopefully not). good luck to us all.

Mangini should have never been hired in the first place. That said, I thought he earned a 3rd year. He did some good things, but one problem he had, which is a complaint I heard from Jets fans was in game adjustments. We saw that this year, got off to a lot of good starts but couldn't close the deal. I expect Shurmur to be around for a while unless he turns out to be Cam Cameron. Take a look at Maginis record, it isn't that great overall.

Mangini was classy about it, and I think he made a good mental foundation for this team's young players. Honestly, I would much rather blame Daboll. If our offense didn't follow the "run straight x2 and then pass on 3rd and long" scheme, we might have won quite a few more games.

Hopefully Shurmur does a good job adapting the WCO to match McCoy's strengths.

Hillis-iz-Boss said:

All I am going to say on this is I guarantee the same people who called for Mangini's head will be calling for the new guys head after one season if he doesn't take this team to the playoffs and that's not fair. A coach should get more than 2 years except for cases like McDaniels where he did everything he could to get fired.

Can can spout all you want about improvement is in the record, but you are a moron if couldn't see that this team was far improved over last season and that we didn't start playing bad until after alot of our play makers were injured. Hell our whole right side of the o line and most of our defensive leaders went on IR. I don't blame coaches for injuries. I hope this new coach can do great things with our current team with a solid draft and good FA pick ups, and he will have my support for at least 3 years to show us what he can do because this whole 1-2 year bullshit needs to stop.

I wish you could push the Thanks button more than once......
