Oh good, one more team to hate that I didn't hate yesterday.

It is ironic that for the past three years a decent number of Patriots' fans have rooted quietly for the Browns because they'd like to see Romeo do well; but now . . .

Yup, most Patriots fans wished Romy the best of luck. That shows that we are not bitter about people leaving if it's done the right way.

Wow, the Mangenius has got to be more smarter than I figured. More smarter enough to dupe an NFL owner into believing Mangenius is so rare a coach that he must be hired NOW! Hey, wicked more smart people like Randy Lerner must be psyched about showing his new GM who is the real more powerful one around the Browns. That's a good idea since the Browns are so more good they don't need those pesky draft choices they traded away. And, hey, they've got two more pissah excellent QB's!! Boy what a more good time Cleveland is going to have.,

I might be in the minority here, but I think this was a great hire by the Browns. I think that Mangini is a good coach who was made the scapegoat in NY for their epic collapse. He managed 10 wins in his first season with a playoff appearance, had an awful second season, and had his team playing great in his third season until his QB torpedoed the whole operation. IMO, I think Favre was forced on Mangini and he got stuck with a guy who didn't want the type of offense Mangini wanted to run (ball control).

So even though I think the guy is an ingrate for ratting out the guy who hired him as a ball boy and then mentored him into becoming a HC in the NFL, he does do a good job gameplanning for teams. He needs to learn how to make better adjustments but the guy can definitely coach.

i dont know about great but it isnt as bad a hire as one might think according to my opinion. the jets really did mangini a favore by firing him . ifhe was stll there then if favre returned he wouldve been screwed and if he didnt he wouldnt have a decent QB with 1 yr left in the contract.
We saw articles like this when BB was hired in ne
http://www.sportsline.com/mcc/blogs/...15047/12787590

sometimes things work out. but his biggest challenge is that including palmer all 3 teams in the division have franchise QB's so its going to be a tough tough division.

A year from now Browns fans will be pulling their hair out from getting the butt-end of the Belichick legacy: BB in his formative years, Romeo Crennel, and now Tubby Ratfink. What an awful series of events.

I thought Ryan was the DC in Oakland. Is Al Davis gonna just let him go? It will probably be Romeo as DC.

Hopefully this bit of news means that RAC will be back w/the Pats:

For the position of defensive coordinator, sources told Smith that Mangini will bring aboard Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, whose contract with Oakland also is up. Sources also said that Mangini and Crennel discussed the possibility of Crennel returning to work with Mangini but decided it best to both go in a different direction.

Mangini will hire Jets quarterbacks coach Brian Daboll, whose contract is expiring, as his offensive coordinator, league sources told Smith.
