N.Y. Orangeman Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Mangini has been with Belichek for over ten years...ten years. He is Belichek's child prodigy. I'm all in on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a player to be named later Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Mangini has been all over the New York papers as being the top canidate for the job. Everyone is pushing for him to sign with the Jets. He's probably becoming a very hot canidate. On his age: Troy Brown who is older than him said, he earned his respect and everyone in the locker room respects him! Who know what will happen, just lettin you guys know hes not a new thing. NYC papers have been talking about him since Monday. OUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 And if the choice is between Bills & Jets, remind me why would he choose the Bills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 And if the choice is between Bills & Jets, remind me why would he choose the Bills? 564969[/snapback] Maybe because the jests are said to be 30 million over the cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 And if the choice is between Bills & Jets, remind me why would he choose the Bills? 564969[/snapback] good question, but it's not as easy an answer as you might think. bradway is in trouble, the owner made a huge mess of things with the west side stadium debacle last year, and is said to be a meddler in any case (that was certainly parcells and later belichick's perception). moreover, they are waaaaaaaaaay over the cap, which is something that in most cases can be addressed fairly easily. however, in this case, it's sort of like the flutie-johnson situation in that a ton of money is tied up in pennington, who may well never be even a moderately competent qb again due to the shoulder injury. martin seems to be done or at least on a serious downward trajectory, their great center is 35 and coming off of a serious injury, john "bad attitude" abraham wants out, and their top receiver will probably never be the same guy because of a chronic toe injury. the point is, they're in a world of trouble. worse than the bills actually. also, you have to ask -- who would you rather work for: terry bradway or marv? i'd take marv.

PTR 564957[/snapback] Don't worry about that. The all-powerful BB sends out mind control waves that destroy his AFC East opponents from afar. This year he focused on the Bills and Jets. Watch what he does to the Fins next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Well...He has an Italian surname...Which means I HAVE to give him the initial benefit of the doubt...If he's Sicilian, then he's My #1 Candidate... Seriously though, I like the Belichick ties, but you have to wonder with a guy like this are The Bills going to be the Training Grounds once again for a 1st time HC who is not ready for Prime Time?... Besides...I think all these other Names are just a smokescreening right now...My gut tells me Haslett already has the Job if he wants it... I'm still holding out hope for Jim Tressel...Sure it's not going to happen, but a Bills Fan can dream anything at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seq004 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've been saying hire the Jets DC Donnie Henderson since November. 564844[/snapback] Donnie Henderson would be the best choice without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjeff215 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Are you kidding me?We're talking about hiring a 34 year old head coach? For gawd's sakes he'll be younger and less experienced than some of his players! 564853[/snapback] The CEO of my company is 32 and he's done a hell of a job. But alas, experience here, please.

KRT88 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I just heard it on ESPN radio. I guess the NE defensive coordinator is scheduled to talk to Buffalo early next week. 564837[/snapback] He can only talk to the Bills if NE is out of the playoffs, so how can anything be "scheduled?"

Some teams allow you to interview coordinators during playoffs, however they can't be hired until said team is out of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head coaching experience? Plenty of guys succeed without it. Assistant experience? He's got a decade of it. I don't see why he isn't as desireable as someone who's already PROVEN they can fail like Haslett, Martz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
