Would you bring Mangini back if it guaranteed a SB victory?
 

Just a hypothetical... if you had a guarantee that the Pats would win the SB in 2013, would it be worth it? Or is this a case where the principle is more important?

It is obvious that if the Pats would ever consider bringing in a guy to fix the defense, Mangini is the right guy strictly from a professional standpoint. I think it's clear as day now that he was the mastermind behind the Jets talent evaluation, drafting Darelle Revis, along with late round role players like Coleman, Lowery, and E Smith. The guy can evaluate and coach talent on defense, particularly in the secondary.

For the record, I would say yes for the hypothetical, but no in reality, as obviously there is no guarantee. While I hate what Mangini did with Spygate, I honestly do not think he had any idea of the media storm that would ensue. I believe he just got caught up in the moment of competition, thought he would 1-up Belichick, and was as shocked as everyone else about the ensuing witch hunt, ridiculous allegations, and zoo-like atmosphere of Patriot haters and conspiracy theorists that emerged from the sewers. Still, I don't think it would be worth bringing back Mangini because of the humiliation he brought to the franchise.

Bye week called, it wants its doldrums back. :snob:

If it would guarantee a SB victory, I'd bring back Eric Mangini, Rod Rust, Clive Rush, Pat the lush, and anybody else you could think of or dig up.

No a million times no. He clearly regrets what he did, but I think that's only because of the backlash. He showed his true colors by repeatedly stabbing the man who built his career in the back.

Yes.

As a DB coach he would transform the secondary, that looks like where his main ability sits.

I don't care who the coaching staff are as long as it means Lombardis.

Add Crennel/Ryan & Mangini and you would see a drastically improved defense to compliment what is already one of the best offenses.

I'd bring back Jeffry Dahmer for a guaranteed SB.

So the only way we'd win the Superbowl is if we brought Mangini back.

could I bring him out on the lake fishing afterwards?

I would bring Rod Rust back before Mangini :eek:

Re: Would you bring Mangini back if it guaranteed a SB victory?
 

without question. Is there anyone who wouldn't want Mangini back if it guaranteed another SB win?

Some would even trade Brady and start Mallett if it meant another SB title
