Nice to see the other shoe falling in NYC - not even the times can deny the fallout from Spygate could mean that Mangini is likely personnae non grata in the NFL once his tenure with the Jets is up - which of course would be common sense. What other organization wants to leave themselves vulnerable to an admitted rat?

Ironically, if the Pats hadn't gone 16-0 in the regular season, the Jets would likely be better off at least in the short term. The only reason the Jets picked #6 instead of #3 was because of their strength of schedule - courtesy the Patriots Mangini inspired perfect regular season.

Where do Mangini and Tannenbaum go if it doesn’t work out for them with the Jets? Mangini can’t go home anymore, at least not to his mentor, Bill Belichick, in New England.
You wonder how Mangini and Tannenbaum are viewed around the N.F.L. after setting off the saga known as Spygate last season, outing Belichick for his secret taping practices in violation of league rules. Did they score for delivering Belichick his comeuppance, or are they scorned for breaking an honor code?
Mangini, in particular, would seem to be at risk of being cast as a hypocrite and an ingrate, given that he raised his coaching profile in the system he subsequently turned against and brought dishonor. Understand his position. He needs to win in the here and now. Otherwise, his coaching future in pro football may be as uncertain as Big Tony’s was when the screen and final season went black.
