I'd hire Marty in a second if my team sucked. His teams always win. As they say "Schottenheimer can't win the big games - but after he leaves the team can't even win the little games".

Yeah, I think if the Jets go down in flames. Mangini hangs his coordinators out to dry and fires them and get new ones. Romeo might be the guy they get.

I wouldn't be shocked if he came back to the Pats, but I definitely ain't betting on it.

Romeo is really close to BB and it's obvious how BB feels about Mangini and the way he left. No way this happens.

I'd love to have Romeo back in Foxboro. We haven't won a SB since he left, and the D (in particular) is a shadow of its former self.

There's a long list of people you could say that about. We had a much stronger group of DBs back in Romeo's day.

Even with Asante our defense was lacking post-2004. And Romeo didn't have a Ty Warren to complement Seymour on the line.

I believe Bill gives his coordinators a lot of autonomy to inject their own styles in every game, and there is a noticeable difference in aggressiveness from Romeo's D to Mangina's D to Pees' D.
