No way. Mangini will always have a back-up job as a stuntman for Kevin James on the King of Queens.

Mangini's out of luck.

Alot of you guys defend Spygate by saying the Pats didn't violate any rules, or BB misinterpreted the rules. Then you turn around and call Mangini a rat. What does calling someone a rat imply? It implies that he gave information on someone that was doing something wrong. So calling him a rat is an admission that the Pats were doing something wrong. And I don't believe that Pats fans are dumb enough to hate him cause he stole Pats materials. Every coach that gets another job takes notes with them. Do you think our offensive coordinator came up with a completely new playbook, No. He's running plenty of plays that they used to run in San Diego.

I hate to spoil the fun but I like Francona b/c the way he handled the all star game with great class in regards to yankees at YS and I know a lot of red sox fans who like Torre and Mariano. heck I like David Ortiz. I also like Troy Brown.I see you're relatively new to the Board, but there were few out here who held that "the Pats didn't violate any rules" and many of us even greeted with skepticism BB's claim that he "misinterpreted the rules," but gave him a big pass on that bit of possible disingenuity because he might just be the greatest HC ever.
Also, I disagree with your definition of "rat." I think that most people think of a rat as someone who shows disloyalty to an individual or group whose company and benefits they have enjoyed. One can be a "rat" by betraying trusts or secrets that are perfectly legitimate and that don't even come close to complicity in anything illicit. The difference between an OC who is "running plenty of plays" that he ran elsewhere and an OC who closes the door and dishes on things he learned about his former players' habits by virtue of having their confidence is significant. The former is simply applying his intellectual capital and expertise in a new environment; the latter is a "rat," even if the behavior is accepted. By that definition, there is no doubt that Mangini is a "rat," because he used unique knowledge of the Patriots activities, licit, illicit or whatever, to do harm to his rival and further his own agenda. In my opinion, he made a mistake in doing so because I doubt he will ever earn the trust of another HC again and, if I were the Jets management, I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him.
I think the animus out here against Mangini stems from a number of things beyond the obvious one under discussion: in particular, as Defensive Coordinator of the Patriots, there can be little reasonable doubt that he was complicit in the stealing of Defensive signals and reviewed their results when he was here, whatever their usefulness may or may not have been, so he's open to the charge of being a hypocrite; another, we just don't like the Jets--they're a fierce divisional rival and it's hard to imagine that we would have anything good to say about their coach--find a Yankee's fan who has anything good to say about Francona or a Sox fan who likes Torre.

Namath is retired. You like half the team, so come on over and become a Pats fan. It's nice to win.... a lot.
lol trust me there are far more people on your team I despise then like or respect, i.e. Harrison, Wilfork, Brady, Merriweather. But I do respect Troy Brown, Tedy Bruschi, Ty Law, Vinatieri. Some how im able to put aside team preferences towards classy well performing individuals
I can understand the Brady and Harrison hate, but what have Wilfork or (especially) Meriweather ever done to anyone?

Mangini had unique knowledge, pffft, give me a break.
So Herm Edwards waving to the camera and all, but the Jets had no idea this was happening till Mangini came on board.
Maybe not everyone knew what the Pats were doing, but the league did and so did the Jets prior to Mangini.
I admit I am a homer and sometimes can't see the forest for the trees, but I still don't buy that Mangini had to rat anyone out, I would say stopping the Pats from taping from an illegal location falls more under the duties of the GM Tannenbaum.
Is Favre gonna have to stay in the freshmen dorms?
