billieve420 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Looks like Mangini is about to be fired. Probably goodwill gesture to Brett so that he decides to comes back and play next year. Fox Sports reported Brett didn't get along with Mangini that well. http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/29/mangini-out/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Here is Jay Glazer's report where apparently Brett didn't appreciate getting called out by 'Mangenius' in front of teammates for bad throws or mistakes made in games. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8996898...coaching-update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Mangini had one playoff appearance in 3 seasons and gets the ax. 23-25 in three seasons and he's fired. NYJ made huge investments in Favre, Faneca, Pace, et al, but could not win with EM. Sadly, 21-27 is probably good enough in Buffalo for DJ. I still don't understand what there is to evaluate about the HC here, unless of course they're reviewing the loss to cut DJ or keep him and realize a significant decline in season tickets that will occur next season.

ans4e64 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'd snatch Mangina up in a heartbeat. He made the playoffs his first year, second year sucked, and this year was stuck with Favre at QB. New coaches aren't going to be great right away.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Brett should retire. hindsight is 20-20, but reaching for a guy, even one as gifted as favre, after he retires from a storied career as THE Green Bay Packer, then decides to come back, never made much sense to me. forget the picks, forget the cannon arm, etc--why bring a guy in who's 56 years old and has been waffling on retirement for the last couple years? brett should have stayed retired.

Saint Doug Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 OK, so in a "real world" situation (not necessarily Ralph's), if Mangina goes, Jauron HAS to get the ax. At least Mangina won some division games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this year, he was a victim of Favre's poor decision making. Agreed. Yesterday's game is a perfect example, Favre just killed the Jets. He should be charged with murdering Mangini's career. I don't know if Mangini will be the best available option, but he's light years better than Jauron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I would like for the Bills to hire Mangini as HC. These coaches that get fired like that love to come back and prove their worth with a new club. He'd have an ax to grind with the Jets for years to come and he's proven that his team can actually beat the New England Belichecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Agreed. Yesterday's game is a perfect example, Favre just killed the Jets. He should be charged with murdering Mangini's career. I don't know if Mangini will be the best available option, but he's light years better than Jauron. The Jets stink and their coaching stinks. IMO, Favre made the Jets this year, and was easily the main reason that they started out so strong, as well as finished 10-6. Sure, he totally sucked the last few weeks, and made ridiculous (horrid) Favre-like decisions and passes throughout the year, but he also made ridiculous (fabulous) Favre-like passes most all year, and there was talk about him being MVP two-thirds of the way throughout the year. he made their running game go because teams were terrified of crowding the line against him. He made average backs and receivers and tight ends and an under-acheiving line into a pretty potent offense until he just wore down (and I totallly agree he was terrible the last five games or so). But that's when the without-Favre Jets were exposed. I think their coaching is terrible, and most Jets fans do, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endzone Animal Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 If they are firing him to accommodate Favre the Jets organization is retarded. Favre was horrendous the last half of the season, and nothing Mangini could do would have helped. If they are firing him because they just don't think he can coach, and are not merely placating a washed-up Farve, than I respect what they are trying to accomplish.

GG Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The biggest reason that Mangini may look good as a HC is that he played two games against Jauron. I still think that accepting a 3rd down penalty back in Nov was a huge mistake and the only reason that no one talks about it is because Edwards through the INT to Elam. But you cannot coach to a potential INT to save bad decisions. Just like Jauron is too cautious, Mangini is too cavlaier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Do you think Mangini has any regrets over giving his newborn son the middle name Brett after Favre? Uncomfortable. That's almost as bad as giving a coach a three-year contract extension when his record was 5-1, only to see him finish 2-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Agreed. Yesterday's game is a perfect example, Favre just killed the Jets. He should be charged with murdering Mangini's career. I don't know if Mangini will be the best available option, but he's light years better than Jauron. Absolutely agree. But I think Ralph is going to let DJ twist in the wind a while and see who's available. If he doesn't think there is a better option, DJ will return--hard as that is for us to swallow. I just don't think Mangini is Ralph's type of hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pneumonic Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Mangini is a fraud and a snitch and will be lucky to be coaching Pop Warner ball in the future. Don't want him even as bad as Jauron is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I listened to the Jets press conference and a reporter asked Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, and I am paraphrasing, "You are the one that signed Favre and that was a disaster, why is Eric Mangini the scapegoat?" The NY media, gotta love em'! Having said that I wouldn't touch Mangini. I would be interested in Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer in some capacity though. Not sure he's ready to be a HC yet.

Very true, that bonehead move would go down in the "Morninwhig taking the wind in OT @Chicago" category if Elam doesn't make that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
