PROS:
Can provide not only stability but a blueprint for success that mimics the one Belichick crafted into three Super Bowl championships in four years in New England entering this season.
He's worked with Belichick for 10 of his 11 years in the league
He's been part of the Jets organization for a few years under Bill Parcells and Belechick.
His X's & O's are better than Herman Edwards (and Dick Curl's).
CONS:
He has spent only one season as the Patriots' defensive coordinator, and the Patriots finished 26th in overall defense.
Mangini's potential is difficult to measure, partly because his credentials are more closely linked to a name other than his own.Mangini, who will turn 35 Thursday will be the youngest head coach in the NFL.
Why were the Jets the ONLY team looking at Mangini, with about 9 open head coaching positions? This scares me.
His legitimate assistant-coaching experience goes back five years, one as a coordinator.
A coach barely older than most players
Not a ton of football experience as he's worked his way up from a public relations intern in Cleveland to a young kid breaking down and splicing up film and holding up play cards for the scout teams in practice.
He will now face Belechick and Brady twice a year.
QUESTIONS:
Will Mangini get his own TV show...24/7 w/ Eric Mangini ?
First we take Parcells from the Patriots. Then, the Patriots take Belechick from the Jets. Now, the Jets take Mangini from the Patriots. What will this now do to the rivalry?
Should Mangini this year make more than Edwards did last year?
Will Mangini change the defense to a 3-4 which will could hurt Vilma's production?
How will he handle one of the toughest jobs in sports in the toughest market in the country?
Will he know how to manage a team?
Will he change this team so we are not the "Same Ole Jets" ?
Is the ghost of Leon Hess smiling and saying "Just Win Now" ?
