    It's been a solid season for New England coordinators turned head coach:

    Romeo Crennel- his team hasn't scored an offensive touchdown in weeks, and they're 4-11

    Charlie Weis- he lost to Syracuse, and the once mighty Notre Dame is playing in the Hawaii Bowl

    Eric Mangini- don't need to explain

    We can hate the guy all we want... but he and he alone is the reason for New England being so incredible these past 8 years or so.

    Very true, he wins regardless of who his staff or players are.

    Does Belichick have a problem with any of his other former coordinators or just Mangini? If he hates them all he's probably having a ball with what's going on

    Bill Belichick sucked at his first HCing gig.

    Just sayin. Seems you have to remind football fans of a ton of little facts conveniently forgotten due to what's happened lately...

    Once you can't take video anymore; you should just hang 'em up.

    He was hugging Romeo and Weis on their last game in the final minutes.

    In some cases your argument is valid.

    In the case of an NFL football head coach, I'd say his New England success effectively wipes clean his Browns experience.

    Hindsight at it's finest.

    Of course it does. My point is that some of those guys people call "shitty coaches" when they're young aren't actually shitty coaches.

    It's easy to kick a guy when he's done. The Pats got somewhere because they saw something in Belichick that they lacked. Look where that got them. So many here seem to treat coaches as either guys born great or born shitty...that's not what life is...thats not what coaching is...thats not how football is.

    That's what I was going to say, it's a little harder to win when your not cheating.....

    On the bright side Mangini has burned so many bridges with the Spygate thing that nobody is going to hire a rat so I guess the chances of him doing a BelliChicken aren't as likely.

    You make it seem like every young coach is going to turn into Bill Belichek.

    Belichek was never passive in his career. A failure, sure. But passive? Never.

    Mangini has the wrong attitude to be a professional NFL coach. If he wants to change that, he needs to find an aggressive attitude and a winning mentality. Unless he does that, his career won't last very long on this level.

    Bellicheck is a football idiot savant. Mangini is just an idiot.

    No he isn't. But he does employ one.

    BB would have been above .500 at Cleveland except for the last year which got ruined by the move to Baltimore.

    So stick with Mangini. Who knows? He will win one for you in what, next 15 years? If he's that good, that is. You never know. Anyway, good luck with that.
