File this one in Florios posting before thinking category... I doubt even the most die hard Patriots fan will see their blood pressure rise on this one.
I'm supposed to be mad because MangIdiot is publically signing the praises of Josh McDaniels as a potential head coach? I'm supposed to worry that this is going to cause more teams to be interested in him?
Uhm - memo to Mike Florio. This is Eric "The Rat" MangIdiot we're talking about here. How many Presidential candidates are hoping George Bush gives them his endorsement?
As far as I'm concerned Eric's doing us another favor - this one's not as nice as giving our team the drive and determination for a Perfect Season, but making other team GM's have second thoughts about stealing our OC isn't a bad Christmas gift either.

MORE FODDER FOR MANGINI-BELICHICK FEUD
Though the question of whether the Jets were spying on the Pats and other teams has dominated the discussion leading up their Week Fifteen get-together, Jets coach Eric Mangini might have given Patriots coach Bill Belichick even more reason to plaster his picture in the center of a dart board by openly pimping New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels for head-coaching jobs.
"I think obviously he'll be a candidate for some of those head coaching jobs,” Mangini said on Wednesday regarding McDaniels, "and I think it's justifiable."
That said, it's not as if people who'll be hiring head coaches for NFL teams don't know to scan the staff of a franchise that is having one of the greatest seasons in the history of organized sports.
So, yeah, McDaniels and defensive coordinator Dean Pees (about seven times a day) are obvious candidates for head-coaching gigs. And with NFL teams less likely to pluck coaches from the college ranks in light of the Nick Saban and Bobby Petrino experiences, successful coordinators will be even more marketable.
What we're saying then is that it's not like owners are going to target McDaniels because he wears the Eric Mangini Seal of Approval. Still, given the beyond-dysfunctional nature of the relationship between these two franchises, and indignity is going to cause blood to boil.
