he was fired because he drafted this guy. it was a greedy pick.
now the fins made everyone realize it
If the Jets went from 4-12 last season to 9-7 with Brett Favre that would be ok. But its the way they did it that is the problem.
They didnt go 4-12 to 9-7 they went 8-3 to 9-7. Thats a collapse and there is no other way around it. Mangini doesnt have a good enough track record to warrant him keeping his job.
I think Mike Francessa made a great point. They were driving against the Dolphins with 7 minutes left and when you looked at the Jets sideline there was no life in the players. Thats a problem.
I think this firing is also a good example that you should never crown a coach after one season. It's how you build on it.
Reports are Bill Cowher is willing to talk with the Jets about the Head Coaching job. IMO the move to fire Mangini was to hire Bill Cowher, they are going to throw big bucks at him...Poor Jets.....we ended their season and Mangini's job. I bet Herm Edwards is going to be their next coach. Hopefully Cowher won't go there.
If Matt Stafford enters, I see him being there at pick #17. He has some stuff to work on, big arm but has a lot to learn still. Don't see him entering though. Bradford is a lock at the 1st overall if he enters. He reminds me of Peyton Manning.
