This morning I heard on WFAN's NFL Now show with Mike Francesa that Eric Mangini is a leading candidate for the Jets job.

Thought I would pass it along.

He's not ready.

Mangini's not ready? Why not. I'm thinking of throwing my hat in the ring and I haven't coached in 15 years, and that was Babe Ruth League baseball!

Like another thread had going last week, it's the "tree effect". Any disciples of Belichick, like those of Bill Walsh in recent decades, would be considered to be ready far sooner than any other schlumps that are out there right now.

Maybe not, but I couldn't fault a club for taking a flyer on finding the Next Big Thing rather than running through the tired old list of retreads. If the Patriots keep winning, though, I wouldn't expect Mangini to be a guy teams actually wait for.

And you guys believe that Mangini will leave BB to take the JETS JOB, when he turned down Romeo and Saban when they were looking for a DC. And he turned down the Raiders when they were looking for a DC a couple of years ago. Mangini is not going anywhere near that trainwreck, IMO. Why do you think BB turned down their HC job in the first place?

If the jets do that, it's a short-sighted move - trying to strengthen their position in the AFC East by weakening ours. He has good value, but as a HC it's RIDICULOUSLY too soon. The jets are idiots.

Heard this too - again I think it would be in Mangini's best interest not to make the move until he's built the credibility - which certainly will come with time - to have complete control of the personnel in his organization... players and coaches and a say in the GM relationship

If I may also make a suggestion, it would be nice to have a descriptive title for these threads to avoid duplication

Thread titles like

"Mangini"

and

"Willie McGinest"

and

"Tom Brady"

and

"New England Patriots"

could probably benefit from being a bit more descriptive

In the back of my mind I've wondered if the reason BB hasn't named an official offensive coordinator is that at this point any Patriots coordinator is going to get mentioned for jobs elsewhere, and he wants to avoid that wherever he can.

I agree with this assessment. I think BB is grooming him to eventually be a head coach. That is also a good point about trying to weaken us by hiring someone who has been a part of this system. This is the reason I was so surprised that Buffalo did not make a better run at Romeo or Charlie in the last few years!

Don't be surprised if 27-year-old Josh McDaniels is named the HC of Buffalo next season .

BTW ... Josh is from Canton, Ohio.
