Jets fire Eric Mangini

Thread bump.

Mangini, IMO, got a raw deal, but Sandra made a good point about Mangini's lack of emotion.

In some of his press conferences, he seemed monotone, a far cry from Mr. "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!"

Mangini was totally flat. No life, no emothion, no rah rah...

The Jets were ridding high at 8-3.

You get team emotionaly ready for the next games. I do believe they had the tools to make some noise in the playoffs.

Yes, Favre made some bonehead throws but the coach needed to possibly real him in like he did in winning earlier games.

Being a huge Jet fan from way back, Favre was the next comming of Namath.
I do think he might be done. He seemed to nothing in the tank at the end.

Now what. If he leaves we have no quarterback. Kelen Clemens..Stinks!

Managini, well, I put him right next to Herm Edwards, Al Groh, Walt Michaels and even Joe walton.

Nice guy, should not lead a team.

Whos on deck?? Im hoping Cower.

We will see.

Nah, emotion from a head coach is overrated; talent from a coaching perspective and talented and emotional players on the field wins games. The Jets weren't going to win more just because Mangini had a few tantrums on the sidelines.

Tom Landry and Chuck Noll from back in the day were pretty "bland" during interviews, but knew how to motivate a team to win. Tony Dungy and Bill Belichick appear relatively calm on the outside, but have obviously have experienced much success.

I feel Mangini was simply not ready to be a HC in the NFL. The Favre acquisition sealed his fate though because it looks obvious that with #4 and the big money spent during the offseason, the plan was that Mangini was gone if the Jets weren't in the playoffs. How many teams improve their record by 5 wins over the previous year and fire their coach??

Good point. But its the way they flopped in the end. It was a total collapse.

Coach has to take the blame for that. Also his defense just dissapeared.
Back up the truck..they need some major changes.

The Buffalo game was a fluk. Jets had no bussiness winning that game.
They should have lost it.

I'm not saying Mangini shouldn't take the blame for their collapse; it was his responsbility to right the ship. I'm just questioning the importance of emotion on the part of the HC.

It's all about winning. If the Jets had not collapsed and made the playoffs no one would be complaining about his "lack of emotion" then...

Let's not forget Mr. King of all Emotion himself.... Bill Belichick.

If that's not an example of not needing "emotion" to be a successful coach, I don't know what is...
 
Mangini a deer caught in the headlights

Well said. He ''always'' had his team ready no matter what cards hed been dealt.

Mangini looked like a deer caught in the headlights.:eek:

So did Romeo.

Apparently Belickick's boys knew how to "look" the part, but didn't know how to actually execute the way their Czar taught them.
 
What a joke. Shanahan has to be the most OVERRATED coach out there now. He never won a Super Bowl: John Elway and Terrell Davis did. The best proof of that is that they've won 1 playoff game since Elway left (which is coming up to 10 years now.) They're also famous for starting off strong then sputtering out in the end. It's too bad that fans in Denver are too short sighted and ignorant to realize that Shanahan will only ever have 2 trophy's to his name, and that holding on to him will do more bad than good.

Shanahan is one of the top 3 coaches out there. He'll have a job in a heartbeat if he wants one. And you don't know jack about the fans in Denver. Check out the forums at DenverBroncos.com, if you want to learn something.

He has a point, no playoff win in ten years? I dont think many other teams would tolerate that either. Not with the caliber of team Denver puts on the field and his past success.
