As Asst Head Coach. Scrolling on ESPN ticker right now. Well I'm scared now, AFC East just got tougher.

The guy that failed with the Raiders and got fired by the U. of Nebraska? The title Asst Head Coach has been used for head coach in waiting, as in Jason Garrett in Dallas. Does this mean the Jets are getting rid of Mangini? This is all kinds of good for the Patriots, no matter what. Like who cares about the Jets anyway, but someday they may rise again. Callahan?

Mangini is on thin ice and a repeat of this years results will have him on a fast train out of town. Eric's going to have to deliver or his days are over as HC NYJ.

Worst thing for a new coach to do is come in and overachieve. It totally messes with perceptions and expectations, you lose draft positioning, etc. If you come into a bad situation and stink for 2 years, you can blame it on the mess you inherited. After that, any improvement makes you look good. If you do well right off the bat, that's where the bar is raised to, and not improving after that makes you look bad. It's kinda funny, if you think about it.

I don't know, I don't really see this as a shot at Mangini. No one in their right mind is giving Callahan a head coaching job anytime soon. But Callahan is a good offensive minded coordinator, so this is a good hire.

Edit: Wait, what part of the offense is Callahan going to be coaching? The Jets still have the younger Shottenheimer as coordinator I think.

You think so? What happened to Mangenious? Doesn't take long, huh? And of course, the guy burned any bridge he may have had back to N.E., and probably anywhere else as nobody likes rats.

assisstant head coach does not mean head coach in waiting. daunte scarnechia is the pats assisstant head coach and has been for a while, doesnt mean he'll take over when BB steps down.

You're right about Scarnecchia's title. I didn't know. Garrett is definitely "in waiting" for the Cowboys though, maybe not Callahan in NY. Still, why do they bring in a 2-time loser and make him assistant head coach, whatever it means.
