ESPN - Eric Mangini out as head coach of New York Jets

ESPN - Romeo Crennel fired after Cleveland Browns finish 4-12

ESPN - Rod Marinelli's ouster follows Detroit Lions' 0-16 season

Heard the Lions want to talk to Spags from the Gmen

GMScud · 12-29-2008, 08:39 PM

I was mildly surprised Mangini got axed. I'm not saying a HC necessarily has to be a "rah-rah" guy, but he seemed like the total opposite. One of my closest friends is a Jets fan, and he heard that Mangini had lost a lot of that locker room. But I just don't know if 9-7 should get you fired. If anything their DC should go.

I could see Cowher in NY

I could too, however he already told Cleveland today that he has no interest in coaching right now. I'm not sure if he meant just in Cleveland, or in general. If NY hired Cowher, GM Mike Tannenbaum would probably be shown the door as well.

I can't see Cowher going to Cleveland simply because of his close relationship with the Rooney family.

53Fan · 12-29-2008, 10:12 PM

From what I've heard Cowher has shown some interest in the Jets.

I don't understand the Cowher lovefest that some people in this forum have (I'm not talking about you 53Fan). The guy is way over rated, I'd hire Jim Schwartz, Spagnuolo or some other assistant before Cowher. A perfect example of a very promising coach is Mike Singletary, not just some retread that won a SB in 14 years.

Mangini firing seems unwarranted. I'm sure he'll be a good head coach sometime in the future.

I really still can't believe that Wade Phillips will get another year. My two biggest coach hatreds are Phillips and Turner. I don't think either can lead a team. Turner probably saved his job with an 8-8 playoff appearance, but Wade??

I agree with you 100%.

I can't believe I'm still amazed by Jerry Jones stupidity but somehow I am. I'm preparing myself for 2010 when Jones hires a recently fired Turner to take over for the recently fired Phillips. How these guys keep getting chances when there are some really talented assistants out there who deserve a chance is beyond me.:confused:

JJ will never learn. After he got rid of the other JJ the team went downhill, then Parcells takes over and has success untill JJ runs him out and ends with Bum Jr. I'm glad JJ thinks he can run a team, I'm all for it!! As long as he's in charge they will SUCK!!

NFL says cowher talking to jets

Pioli interested in browns

GusFrerotte · 12-30-2008, 12:08 AM

People like Cowher because he comes off as a no nonsense guy that won't take any BS and has his shit together. We will see how '09 pans out for Zorn and see if he can get his shit together. Even if he does, we really do need a lot of work, and to top that off still don't have a real gauge on if JC is indeed our franchise QB. Yardage wise he is on pace to top Frerotte as the 6th leading all time Skins passer sometime around week 9-10 next season and needs to definitely pick up the pace to match or surpass good ole Gus in the TD dept. He is definitely better than Gus in the TD/INT ratio dept though.
