Super Bowl Confidential NY Daily News 1/28/09 Gary Myers GOT A SECRET: How does Eric Mangini get a run out of New York and wind up in Cleveland? I've heard one of the reasons Mangini was fired is he was no more forthcoming with his bosses about what was gong on with the team than he was with the media. Which means he told them nothing." Good luck with Cleveland, Eric!
Not like Belichik at all! Though Belichik did piss off the folks in Cleveland by playing Vinny over Kosar. Belichik is a football history geek. Paul Brown was his idol, and Jim Brown is close friends. Plenty of things to dislike BB about if you choose to, but this his is not Belichik-like.
The Canton Repository cites a Browns insider who says the atmosphere at team headquarters has been miserable since head coach Eric Mangini took over less than a month ago. The source claims Mangini is "running the place like Napoleon" and may have already alienated Pro Bowl DT Shaun Rogers after snubbing him at a recent public function. The report smacks of rumor and innuendo, but it also jives with earlier criticism of Mangini as a poor communicator lacking people skills. Source: Canton Repository
The Browns hired Mangini when there were plenty of good candidates out there and they had no GM. Mangini was coming off being fired after an EPIC COLLAPSE. The Browns really do suck.
Remember how Kotite was good in Philly, and then came here?... I'm getting that same feeling after reading reports from Cleveland.
