Who do you think told Tanny? Part of the price Eric paid to land that gig was spilling the beans on it's arch enemy to underscore the value of hiring him. Tannenbaum was able to sell him to Woody based on if we do WE will have all the secrets to success. Tanny then perverted that into we will also have a secret that could bring Belichick down altogether. It was a little like the FO version of the bounty perversion of pay to play only the reward was a HC gig. Protoges often get hired based on their knowledge of how their mentor wins on the field. Mangini was also rewarded for information that provided a potential means to knocking his mentor out of the game. Eric didn't drop a dime on Bill to the league, just to a guy who would. Law of unintended consequences. He was never looking beyond proping up his own ego, same thing he did in Cleveland (when he threw his handpicked GM under the bus to save his own ass for another year proving he still hadn't learned the really important lesson that Bill tried to teach him while he was still here, that he wasn't overqualified to be a DC or ready to be a HC).
