It's easy, and only takes a few moments.While your conclusion may or may not be correct, judging the people skills of Eric Mangini from the perspective of a guy who couldn't learn the plays and got cut isn't really a good yardstick.Great article! Mangini was certainly not an idiot. In fact, I really think he is one of the better talent evaluators in the league. In New York, he brought in Ferguson, Mangold, Revis, and Harris, along with a lot of very solid role players. Keep in mind he has never had a real quarterback.
But I think it is clear that Mangini lacks a fundamental skill that is critical to success. He is obviously crappy with people and cannot motivate his team. He seems to have tried to become Belichick so badly that he became more of a caricature of his mentor. Clearly the players never actually bought into his teachings.

I bet this is a daily occurrence in foxboro even nowThen Mangini presses play on the video system and footage of the morning's warm-ups come onto the screen. He had the warm-ups filmed and the tape cut up and cued up for the meeting. He launches into a biting critique of each player's warm-up performance, excoriating certain players for not having a sense of urgency during the drills, and referring again and again to the mantras that are written in big block letters around the facility. He preaches the importance of living by their words, and humiliates the most glaring examples of those who aren't.
vernon gholston?
I remember some jets fans saying the Pats wanted him but once the jets selected him they traded back and had to settle with the reach of Mayo at #10.
LOL
With all due respect to where you live (everybody's gotta be from somewhere), I would consider being deeply reviled in Cleveland a significant compliment.BB is still deeply reviled here on the lake.
Also. the local media are idiots.
"Brady jock sniffer"???
The best detail in the piece was Jackson having to interrupt his reviling of all things Mangini to marvel at how good the food in the commissary is.
