Mangini struggles as a head coach ...
He was a better than average DC for the Patriots.
He was an excellant DB coach .. under Belichick's guidance that is.
But really, we won the Super Bowl in 2004 with a depleted secondary with a few JAGs on it ... Poteat and Gay to name 2.
So perhaps Brady was a bit off today ... whatever ... he was good enough.
But a defensive minded coach who figured largely in our 2003 & 2004 Super Bowl wins came up with a great game plan today ... unfortunately against a great team.
So let's give credit to the other coach when it is warranted. Mangini, considering all else gave his team a chance to win today ... they couldn't and didn't. The rat in NY may be a jerk but he still knows how to coach a secondary ... if nothing else.
