Eric looks like he lost 30 or 40 lbs... He actually looks to be in shape... Maybe Golic and Shula got him on the NurtiSystem diet.

No, he's not. However, if he brings the Jets half of the success BB has brought the Pats, I'll be happy with him.
You say that as if it's an insult?Mangini is a BB wannabe
How about none of the success; best of luck with a QB who has a bum ankle vs the Ravens next week; 0-2 and headed to Miami for you Jet fans......
He's a good coach, but if you honestly think his largest influence and mentor isn't Belichick, you're kidding yourself. From the way he has tried to motivate his team, lock down the locker room, build the same defense, hell, even the way he carries himself on the field, everything can be traced back to Belichick.
Don't worry, though, Belichick is a really good coach to want to emulate.

what happened with the hand shake after the game? I was watching on TV, and right after the 2 minute warning they switched to the miami-washington game so i didn't get to see.
No question, Belichick is his largest influence and mentor. Despite this, I really believe Mangini is trying to be his own man. In a couple of years the differences between the two will become more apparent. Hopefully, it won't be simply a difference in success.
Well stated. As I said in another thread, the Jets' success last year may contribute to a massive swing of fan opinion in the opposite direction this year if the team goes through tough times. It almost would have been better had the Jets gone through a modestly successful season in 2006 and gradually built on that. However, now the expectations are at a fever pitch, and many Jets fans assume that improvement equal to last season should be a standard in 2007. Not so, grasshoppers. As BB would be the first to tell you, every season is a whole new situation with a whole new team.In terms of Mangini's longterm career, any success he has with the Jets is just gravy. When he took this job, I (and plenty of others) assumed that he knew it could be rocky, but figured he might as well do his learning while picking up a seven-figure paycheck and making himself a household name. In Belichick terms, this is his Cleveland. If he wins, hurrah. If not, he will be first in line for any open DC positions and is so young he will absolutely, positively get another shot at the top job down the road. That's the way this league works.
