Jets | Team to interview Mangini Sunday
Tue, 10 Jan 2006 21:34:19 -0800

John Tomase, of the Boston Herald, reports New England Patriots defensive coordinator Eric Mangini will interview for the New York Jets head coaching job Sunday, Jan. 15, at a hotel near Foxboro. According to NFL rules, if the Jets didn't seek permission this week to talk to Mangini, they'd have lost the right until the Patriots either won the Super Bowl or were eliminated from the playoffs.



Guess everyone can relax that he isnt focused on dever..

NO! We need Sunday to begin preparations for the AFCCG against Pittsburgh! Damn Jets ...

Isn't this the same Jets team that timed their overtures to Bill Parcells to reach their peak only hours before a Super Bowl?

If you want to get hired as an NFL HC, you don't just show up for the interview. Unless Mangini has been doing interview preparation before, he has a lot of work to do outlining exactly what kind of program he'd run as a HC.

You are, of course, assuming that Mangini actually wants the job. Just because Mangini is/may be at the top of the JEST wish list does not, in fact, mean that Mangini wants to coach for the JEST.

Yes but even if he doesn't want that job he doesn't want to leave the interview being looked at as an unprepared bozo. With just 32 jobs, word gets around about good interviews and bad ones.

I don't think that there's anything to worry about. Eric was given permission to interview and no way would that happen if there was any concern it would hurt the team prep for these games! This has all the markings of PRACTICE INTERVIEWing all over it!

In this connection, it is interesting that profootballtalk.com reports this morning ... that Broncos' OC Gary Kubiak - having already won the interview process at the Houston Texans - seems set to be become the Texans HC ... as soon as Denver is eliminated from the playoffs.

So, something else on HIS mind, too.


EDIT: i see that Dryheat already has a thread up on Kubiak.

The team plays Sat night& flies back late. During the plane ride I'm sure Eric and BB will be doing game planning.

the Colts and Steelers play on Sunday and by 4:30, Eric's interview must be over. I'm sure that was one of the conditions given to the JEST.

I don't think there'll be much game planning needed for the Colts or Steelers. We've played them so much, those guys know them like the back of their hands. Discussing what to do, sure, but they won't need intensive film study like they would if we played, say, Chicago in the Super Bowl.
