Mangini, Belichick disciples alienating employees - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

What the article says about Mangina and his impudence doesnt surprise me at all. What bothers me is that this Silver guy seems to be implying that Belichick is to blame for Mangina's actions. He then continues on to make comparisons between Mangina and Pioli and McDaniels, further trying to smear Belichick and those who have emerged from this organization.

There are a certain number of writers who seem find it physically impossible to write a column that mentions the name "Bill Belichick" without also using a form of the word "arrogant." That tells me all I need to know about the writer's objectivity.

Ehhh..... it's really 3 very different situations. McDaniels didn't personally do anything to alienate anyone: Cutler got his feelings hurt because McDaniels dared to think about bringing Cassel to Denver. Waters showed up at the KC facility and thought he was entitled to a full sit down conversation with the new guys even without an appointment, so they basically told him to go pound sand. Frankly, in both cases, I'm surprised the response by the new guys was as mild as it was. I'd have ripped into both of those cry-babies if I were the coach/GM.

Mangini, on the other hand, is pulling the same crap he did in New York. It's yet another broken promise, and he'll lose that clubhouse if he doesn't back down and save face at the same time.

If BB is such a horrible influence why do teams keep hiring his guys

2-14....5-11...8-8...
Those are the records last year of the three teams in question...Maybe they needed some shaking up........

How can anyone call BB arrogant when that puke Rex Ryan is in this league?

Players are using the new comers as a way of getting more money out of the teams...he's using their actions as a way of showing that the Patriots are creating villains and making problems for the new teams...

It's another attack piece aimed at the Patriots. "Patriots bad, everyone else good"

Mangina is an arrogant slob, plain and simple. There is a world of difference
in being so much smarter than everybody else that you are percieved to be arrogant and just being a jerk . Mangina is just a jerk, among other things.

I'm no fan of Eric Mangini but he left the Jets in better shape than he found them. As has BB for New England (that's an understatement, I know). I'm not sure about Mc Daniels but I'm confident that Todd Haley and Scott Pioli will improve KC. They certainly can't do any worse! In any case, it's clear that KC needs a lot of new personnel, so being told that 22 guys off the street could do better than 2-14 isn't far off the mark. It also sends a message that mediocrity will no longer be tolerated.

Anyone who thinks that successful head coaches are "nice" doesn't have a great understanding of what Football is and what its players are. It's a game of violence, played by people with capacity for dealing out that violence. I love the game (it's my favourite along with Rugby) but I have no illusions about it.

Some successful HCs may be perceived as being nicer than others (I'm thinking of Bill Walsh, off the top of my head) but I bet he was a real b**tard when he had to be.

Given Mangina's miserable record and reputation as a HC, I assumed he would be a bit more humble. Guess he never learnt...
