I'd have fired Mangini too.

Look, this guys stock in trade was supposed to be DEFENSE, right? The Jets have Pro Bowlers at CB (Revis), NT (Jenkins) and they now have near Pro Bowl caliber talent like Kerry Rhodes, Shaun Ellis and Calvin Pace.

Yet look at Mangini's defense during his tenure:

2006: 18.4 PPG allowed, 331.6 ypg allowed, 5.2 yp play allowed, 36% 3rd down allowed

2007: 22.2 PPG allowed, 331.9 ypg allowed, 5.2 yp play allowed, 42% 3rd down allowed

2008: 22.2 PPG allowed, 329.4 ypg allowed, 5.2 yp play allowed, 39% 3rd down allowed

3 years at the helm. No improvement. Despite adding a number of pro bowl caliber players, the Jets defense is still mediocre at best.

As bad as I feel today, this one one cheeered me up.

Bill Belichick has something to smile about today at least.

Last year, Mangina set in motion a chain of events that led inexorably to his own termination. The only question now is, how far will he fall? How long will it take for PFT to run pictures of a homeless Mangina dumpster diving somewhere in New Jersey?

PATSYLICIOUS

Best news I've heard in a while. Sure the Jets would continue to be terrible if he stayed there, but they'll still be pretty bad given their cap/QB situation unless they get a guy like Cowher or Schotty. Even then, they won't be a threat to us despite being a pretty good team. With Brady we are going to have this division locked up with a month left regardless of how good the Jets or the Fins are.

He sucked at being a ball boy, he sucked at being a coach, and he sucked at Byzantine chicanery.

No, I think BB's happy with the ball boy situation as is

No article about this being just karma for Mangini?

This is like a late Christmas present

Maybe, just maybe, if we get lucky he'll turn on the Jets too and reveal some information he shouldn't.. Oh wouldn't that be a glorious day?

I'm glad the rat is gone...
