It doesn't really matter what anybody on here thinks. It's up to Holmgren, and I say Mangini's GONE.

......judging by what I've heard about Holmgren.

Because I honestly don't know what to think. I'm not there at practice, I don't know what he says to the players, and I haven't seen what kind of real passion he has for Cleveland football. Yes, I understand it is very, very hard to turn a program around in one year, but as fans we are so aggravated about us not being the dominate program we used to be. Not even being dominate just being a contender to teams--someone to fear.

I leave it in our new GM's hands.

I'm still far from sold on him, but I hope those who are warming to him are not doing it based solely on two wins. In my opinion, it's the past five games that are crucial.

1. In the past five games, the Browns have won 2 and lost 3, but they've scored a ton (121 points).

2. The run game has been solid to excellent

3. Defense and the passing games have been spotty.

4. Special teams have been quite good.

5. Most importantly, however, the team has played with a sense of purpose and a team spirit. Guys have actually been pulling together. This is completely unlike the first nine games of the season.

It's really an accumulation of things, not just two wins, that gives hope for the future.

More like the QB mess that he inherited.

What's with this Gruden love?

To know each players strengths and weaknesses.

What he does after that is on his shoulders and he bears all responsibility.

Why is that so funny? I've supported Mangini from the start, and haven't really waivered. Not because I'm convinced he's a great coach.....but because I'm not conviced that he isn't a great coach....yet. He has not had a fair chance to prove himself. The reason a lot of people are changing their minds, is because we are seeing improvement. There is nothing wrong with the guys that post here who wanted his ass gone 2 weeks ago, but now want him to stay another season. We're not all geniuses here. At the beginning of the season, I was more inclined to think that DA was the answer at qb. I wasn't anti BQ, but I thought with a little polishing, DA would be the guy. Man was I full of crap, or what? There's nothing wrong with not being right all the time....at least that's what I've heard. I really wouldn't know first hand.(Joking)

Luckily Lerner don't give a shit what you think. Mangini deserves at least another year.

But in fairness i wouldnt mind seeing mangini get another year to prove how broke it is..but it would be a waste of our time..
