You beat me to it.

Did they ever hire a GM?

Not sure if it will make a difference in Cleveland but have not heard if they have hired a GM yet.

Cleveland, one of those teams that just seems snake bit so to speak.

 

[Stash]

I think it was PFT who called that.

Said it was essentially a done deal last week and that he was hiring a staff.

 

[DallasEast]

Was Mangini on Belichick's staff when he was Cleveland's head coach? If so, I wonder how Browns' fans feel about that particular connection.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Good move IMO.

Mangini is a smart young coach who never had a QB in New York. I still think the Jets knee-jerked in firing him so soon.

Except when we have their first round draft pick. :bang2:


(although it looks to have turned out well)

No, he has been with the Ravens, Patriots, and Jets. Never the Browns until now.

Thanks Hos.

Wasn't Mangini a former ball boy and intern for the Browns?

Anyway, I read that Romeo might be open to staying on as DC. If he can do it, Wade can do it for Shanny.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

No sir.

Thanks...I didn't think they did.

 

[TheCount]

This whole 3-4 coach thiing is so incestuious.

 

[bbgun]

One man's trash ...

actually, mangini was the "water boy" for the browns in those days. the local media in cleveland were all talking last week about how funny/wierd it will seem that the guy they (quite literally) used to ask to go get their drinks will now be the headcoach of the browns.

You can convince me he needs to hire a real HC, but I doubt you'll convince me he is meddling.

Yeah I dont see it.

He had Pennington.
He had Favre.


Kellen Clemens showed some promise and Mangenius bailed on his development.

I have seen anything from Mangini to make me believe Browns got anything good?

50% aint bad
you will come around on JJ by the end of '09
