    What - no Cowher, no Shanahan, no Marty?

    Told yinz that the stains ain't paying any coin for a premier HC, but I'm usually right and yinz are usually not.

    Well, well - Mangina. Couldn't win after getting the drama queen QB and spending a bazillion dollars in FA. Stool pidgeoned Belicheat, not that I didn't mind that but still a sell-out. How much is this guy costing yinz?

    Anyway, congrats on getting the guy who's going to save the franchise. Maybe Brett comes with him?

    Regards

    Chuckie, Chuckie. You can fault Lerner for being stupid, but you sure as hell can't fault him for being cheap. He just ate $20 million in salaries to tell Crennell and Savage to go away- something that Mike Brown would never do in a million years.

    Now as to the "names".

    1) We couldn't get Pioli because he was asking stupid money- $10 million a year was the rumored price, and he was only using the Browns as leverage to get a big fat raise out of Bob Kraft. SP never really wanted to leave a cush situation with the Pats anyway.

    2) Cowher and Marty told the Browns they weren't interested in coaching this year- at any price.

    3) Shanahan? He's on vacation, and who knows if he wants to coach this year. He's been so-so since Elway retired, and I've loved watching him bring in every Browns retread on defense (starting with Fatso Warren) and watching them bust again. No thanks.

    Mangini was the best available choice. IMHO the Jets gave up on him too soon. I do worry from reports that he's a Crennell clone on the sidelines, but then Tom Landry and Paul Brown weren't exactly balls of fire on the field. BTW, Farve wasn't Mangini's idea- it was the Jets GM pulling the strings on that one. So it's Mangini's fault that Farve turned into an interception machine the last four games, and cost the Jets the playoffs? Should he have benched Farve and played Kellen Clemens?
