They outta hire McDaniels as their OC to teach Colt McCoy. Would be cool if they got Cowher as their coach right in the steelers division. Or promoting Rob Ryan just so both Ryan twins are coaches.
Actually, I am more surprised Holmgren didn't fire him right after he was hired as GM. Mangini does not run a West Coast offense which Holmgren wants his team to run. Their philosophies are very different. The only way Mangini was going to save his job was to finish above .500 and possibly having to compete for a playoff spot or get into the playoffs. The Browns finished 5-11 (which is the same as last year) and losing their last 4 games. He had no hope of surviving.

You are correct sir! Vince Flippin Lombardi would have been fired. Holmgren wants HIS guy in there as coach. The Browns will be a factor in the near future. Look what he did with Seattle.
Wasn't Holmgren hired mid-season? I thought that and the fact that they beat us convincingly were why Mangini was given time to finish this year and show what he's capable of.
Now, will BB hire him back as a DC of the Pats?
