Even as I bite my lip and root for the Jets to actually win a game, it seems clear that if Mangini lets both Patriots and Jets fans alike down on Sunday, he'll be coaching his last game as HC of the NYJs (or HC or Assistant Coach or Ball Boy anywhere, with few organizations likely willing to share their secrets by bringing a snitch into their organization.)
And although I have to confess a degree of schadenfreude at the prospect of Mangini being fired, it seems to me that Patriots fans - yay, all the teams in the AFC East, and the NFL for that matter - have a vested interest in keeping that "Mangenius" of a coach right where he is.
Sure, we all know the drill - $140 million in the offseason, choosing a $12 million, 40 year old 9-6 QB over a much cheaper and younger 10-5 QB, and failing to capitalize with that investment in a year when their biggest division rival is without their starting QB, RB, and half a dozen defensive starters. All of that has Jets fans calling for the head of their "Genius" coach, who have finally recognized that Mangini generally does all the rest of the AFC East teams a big favor with his questionable coaching and drafting input.
But perhaps if we all band together - Patriots Fans, Dolphins Fans, Bills Fans - heck, all fans in the NFL, and let Woody Johnson, *giggle* the owner of the Jets know that WE SUPPORT ERIC and want to see the Jets keep him as Head Coach, maybe, just maybe, he'll give him another shot and keep him on for next season, even if they continue to choke and lose next week.
Feel free to email the Jets organization and share your thoughts here: Contact Us
And be sure to encourage fans of other AFC East to write to the Jets in support of Coach Mangenius as well.
(Note: If showing some support for the Narc is just asking too much, my secondary recommendation would be to suggest to Woody Johnson *giggle* that he hire Herm Edwards, reportedly soon to be available, as his next head coach.)
ARE YOU WITH ME?!
