There's also Seeley, ST's coach, who BB claims is good enough to be a HC, maybe BB gives him a shot at raising his profile. Dante probably could crossover too.

Donnie Henderson could become available. That would be a sick shot across the Jets' bow if they went and took Mangini.

Donnie is in contention for a HC job, and if he doesn't get one could be sucked up by one of the new HCs to be their DC at a higher salary then the NYJs pay. BB would want to bring in someone familiar with his system to groom for DC as a position coach. Someone like Donnie with his own system would need to do the same for a couple years I'd think.

Donnie isn't getting an HC gig. He's getting interviews because he's the obligatory minority interview. The team that he had the best chance with--the Saints--immediately went out and interviewed Mike Martz and Mike Sherman. Odds-on favorite is Martz, who won't get an HC shot with a legit franchise, and who won't want to be an OC again.

I agree, though. Donnie is pig-headed and would have a hard time meshing with Belichick's system. Still, if Mangini takes the Jets gig and pushes Donnie out the door, Beli would be smart to pull him in as an assistant in some capacity.

2 yrs and out, IMO. He's never coached offense, who's he going to get for OC? BB took over the front 7 the second half of this yr. If he goes, he's in for a h*** of a rocky ride. The only reason they want him is to weaken the Pats.

Just like how we said the Pats wont miss Bill Parcells in 97 ,, look how that turned out....
