Yes he admits he has no football sense, but neither do half the other owners in the league, they just hired the right guy. Falcons definitely wouldn't be in the shape they are if it wasn't for taking Accorsi's advice.i understand that he is a business man and he knows that he has no football sense but he has to know to stay away from a guy who just got fired and NO OTHER TEAM even wanted to interview him. it is like going camping in california in late summer/early fall. you will get burned.

How do you know no other team wanted him? Ernie Accorsi recommended him and he(Accorsi) is pretty good at finding front office people.

See that was all that was documented, and I don't believe it to be the case.
What we're seeing here in 2010 is precisely what happened in NE a decade ago. It worked for them then, and it wiill work for us now. Why? Because it's the only way it's ever worked in pro football. Just ask Paul Brown. Or Vince Lombardi. Or Tom Landry. .02, Clemdawg -

That is nice but did Ernie Accorsi recommend Mangini ?

Good question, I'm still searching for who recommended Mangini or did Lerner just get blown away in an interview with him.
From what it sounds like to me is that Lerner was in the process of interviewing both Mangin and Kokinis, and that both had mutal respect for one another and Lerner felt it was going to be a good fit, and that was most important to him as Savage and Crennel perhaps were not.
-
Not sure who recommended Mangini, but remember the article that stated Lerner was getting ready to talk to the press and the press told him that Mangini was just fired. Lerner basically cancelled his press meeting and went to get Mangini.
Lerner took Mangnini off the market before anyone could interview him.
It would be nice to find out who recommended mangini to Lerner, hope it wasn't RAC

initially when RAC was fired and Mangini was hired i too was happy cos it did seem like an upgrade, but never did i realize that we would be heading towards where we are.
