i always thought mangini would make a good scout or may be even a good
gm down the road. i like the players the jets drafted under mangini,
and i like the guys the browns drafted under him. at the very least,
mangini can be a db coach if he stays in the pro's. if he wants a hc
gig, i'd guess his pro experience would make him attractive in the
college ranks. it is odd that a guy like cowher was given 14 seasons
but mangini gets canned twice after short stays.
it was amazing he got a second chance.
he wasn't ready when the Jets went after him.
but how could he say no.
now it's looking like his career is over.
He'll get a defensive assistant position.
As Tannenbaum has said, you need a coach and a QB to win. I don't
think any coach could've succeeded in Cleveland with all those second-
rate QBs the last 2 seasons. Then again, I think it was Mangini's call
as much as anyone's to trade their 5th pick in the '09 draft, where
they could have drafted Sanchez, Josh Freeman, etc.
There's already a rumor that some college is interested in him. I
don't get what they see in this guy that he keeps on having teams
interested in him. I think he should be given a DC job and keep it for
a couple of years to get more exp. I do think he'll make a good coach
down the road, he just needs more seasoning.
He can get a job with Richie Kotite...coaching Pop Warner or something.
I hear Joe Walton and Rich Kotite are looking for a DC to round out their CS
at the High School for Performing Arts Jayvees
They are not nearly as good as St. Lourdes of the Blind, they run a really
sneaky offense.
