<![CDATA[Sit down with Manigini]]>Good interview. I like him more every time I listen too him talk. I really like the direction the team is heading.

Can you embed nfln stuff. I was'nt sure how if you can.

Anyhow. I would really like to pick his brain one time. It just seems like "there is a method to the madness" so to speak. Like there is purpose behind every little detail of everything he says or does.

You know what I mean, he looked like he could have punched the guy in the throat.

Eric performed that interview in a very interesting way, it felt natural but I'm almost sure none of it was. I would not like to play poker with him.

Yep. Gruden wanted out of Oakland, so he managed to get himself traded to Tampa for a couple of high draft picks.

Guys like Warren Sapp like to put down Gruden by saying that he won a championship with Dungy's players. Though, to be fair, Gruden brought some needed discipline to that team and was able to kickstart an anemic offense.

I've always been a Gruden guy. I wouldn't have minded him as coach here but right now I'm falling in Lumlike love with Mangini.

What was wrong with Romeo? 😉

I would attempt to answer except for 2 things...

1) I don't have the time &

2) This board only has so much "memory". 🙄

In all seriousness, Mangini is such a breath of fresh air (after Palmer, Davis, & Crennel). I can't wait until camp.

Seems we finally have a professional coach with an idea how to lead a team. Thank God.

I believe it was 9 out of the last 12.
  • Mike Shanahan (XXXII, XXXIII)
  • Dick Vermeil (XXXIV)
  • Bill Belichick (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX)
  • Jon Gruden (XXXVII)
  • Tony Dungy (XLI)
  • Tom Coughlin (XLII)
Really interesting stat, but I'm not sure what to make of it. Shanahan and Belichick, who won the majority of those 9 SB's, both spent time in the wilderness working as assistants before getting their second shots at being HC. And Vermeil & Gruden weren't even fired from their first jobs.

The only one who got fired, then immediately got a HC job with another team is Tony Dungy. Coughlin comes close: he was out of the league for a year between his gigs with the Jags and the Giants.

Another interesting stat: the three first time HC's who won Lombardi's during that span all coached in the AFC North (Asshole, XXXV; Cowher, XL; Tomlin, XLIII).

Didn't Gruden go from the Raiders to the Bucs and beat that same Raiders team the year he moved over?

I liked the one stat they threw out there. something like 9 of the last 11 Super bowl winning coaches won the super bowl with their second team.

EM said he liked that stat a lot. So do I.
