Mangini is very good a copying materials from what I hear. BB was very impressed with young Mangini. Maybe he can get a job at Kinkos.

This all is ironic, in that the Jets fans hate Eric the Rat as much as we Pats fans.

No, it happened much differently, but that hardly matters.

Tannenbaum and Mangini came in almost as a tandem. They've been friends since their days in Cleveland with Belichick, and Mangini was the first and, I believe, only outside guy interviewed.

As I've said on both my own Jets board and this one, Mangini's body language of late leaves me with the impression that he has maturity issues, and I have to think that comes out in meetings, practices and, particularly, when the team most needs a strong leader in tough times like this. And so, we see things like Chris Baker openly questioning the play calling in the Monday news (and he was right, by-the-by). Things are unraveling quickly for the guy, and he's got to find a way to grow up as a head coach - quickly. There are some clear holes in personnel, but there's enough there to win some games in this league. At this point, though, it's less about the talent on the team, and more about the effectiveness of leadership. The pack doesn't follow a wounded dog.

In hindsight, I think its obvious that Mangini screwed up. He should've stuck around last year, and probably this year, learned some more from BB, then he could've gotten his choice of coaching jobs instead of just the Jets offer. Instead he jumped on the first offer, and the Jets have been in disarray for a few years now.

Fellers,

Slightly O/T, but I have to say this:

I actualy liked those old TITANS throwback uniforms the JETS were wearing last weekend. I really don't like the current style they wear. They look more like a college team than a pro team. But that's just my personal biases I guess.

That okay because they have been playing more like one also......

I agree with you (and no apology necessary for me: I LOVE threads that meander).

"'Mangenius' never really existed. It is a mythical creature like 'Sasquatch'" - Great quote from that Jets thread. Nice to see even slow witted Jet fans are finally figuring out that Mangini is a fraud.

What's happening down in Jetsland?

Who cares? I live in the enemy territory and I am least bit bothered about their performance, or lack of it, and the immature and arrogant kids that seem to define most of its fans.

Only time I am going to be interested is when they head to Foxboro. Which, is not happening until after a few weeks.

Right. For years, we were all trying to log into our toaster ovens and microwaves, so's we could come by here and wade in the pools of football wisdom.

Heh. . . The noteybook thingy that says "Dell" - so THAT was it. Go fig'r.

I feel so stoopid now.
