Definitely didn’t think he’d be the guy to take us to the playoffs 3 out of his 4 seasons while stripping the roster down to the bone year 1. I saw him as a Dick Jauron clone, he’s proven to be one of the top guys in the NFL.
The best part about what he’s done in Buffalo is he’s doing it with his guys, not inheriting a good roster from the last guy and living off that for a couple seasons like Rex Ryan did his first 2 seasons with Mangini’s roster.
