Mangini: Belichick will be in the Hall

Mangini: Belichick will be in the Hall by Steve King for scout.com

Current Browns head coach Eric Mangini and Bill Belichick, who had that same job a decade and a half ago, may not exactly be best buddies after their falling out in New England.

But Mangini won’t let that stand in the way of his honest assessment of the job Belichick is doing as head coach of the Patriots.

“Bill Belichick will be in the Hall of Fame someday,” he said in matter-of-fact fashion before Saturday’s training camp practice during his daily press conference.

The comment was in a response to a question about quarterback Tom Brady being possibly the only future Pro Football Hall of Famer on the Belichick-coached Patriots teams that won three Super Bowls in a four-year period from 2001-04, and then saw their bid for a perfect season ruined when they lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl following the 2007 season. On Saturday morning, during the annual HOF weekend, the Hall unveiled a new Super Bowl exhibit.

I hope Mangini isn't too fat for that limb he's just gone on.

Thanks for setting us straight, Eric. And all along I'd been thinking that BB was just hanging around to collect his pension.

In a related story, Maningi stunned reporters with the shocking revelation that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Said one reporter, "He made that statement as if the sun has been doing this every day for billions of years, but yet I still need more evidence before I believe it."

LOL! Don't worry Patjew, the limb he went out on is short and stumpy... Sorta like Mangini himself.

I think Mangini has always been the one trying to kiss and make up. In fact, I don't think he ever had any ill will against BB. BB is the one who keeps it going on and on. But who cares ? It's about winning, not making friends.

Thread over.

They left out the part where he said, "Despite my best efforts to get back at him for showing me up and proving what a useless tool I am."

I still hate him for the "kiss and tell" situation in 07, guess as long as he's in the league the hate will go on, first for the Rats now the Brownies.

Really though, it sounds as if he's trying to get back into BB's good graces to me.
