Jets coach Mangini will not return

[princefielder28]

I think bringing in a coach like Brian Billick and a DC like Mike Nolan would give the Jets the necessary coaching to be successful. If Brett Favre does come back, Billick can use the same philosophy with the Jets that he used with the Ravens when Steve McNair was there at the end of his career.

I really dislike this move, I would have given Mangini 2009 to win a playoff game or get fired. He had built his defense for the most part, except for a player or two missing from the secondary which is his forte.

Just a desperate move by a team desperate to get back into the spotlight.

I agree, this firing will come back to bit them in the ass.

[Geo]

They made a play for Favre, understandable after the year he had last year, and he blew up in their faces in December.

They should have kept things as is and rolled with another QB next year, but now, who knows.

[bigbluedefense]

Here's something to ponder: Does Dallas hire Mangini as their DC?

i think he's too closely associated with the Parcells coaching tree for that idea. dallas burned all its bridges with the BP coaching tree, which is like half the good coaches in this league.

also, Mangini's philosophy is too different from Wade's. its not a good fit.

[Geo]

Mangini will definitely get a job, even if it's as a coordinator.

If people want to blacklist him for Spygate, that's just stupid. Teams and the league even knew what the Pats were up to, but the Pats were so arrogant as to keep doing it that they finally got busted.

[gsorace]

The Jets going from 4-12 last season to 9-7 this season has very little to do with Mangini.

Just by watching the Jets this year you could tell they were a badly coached team.

You really haven't seen more then 2 Jets games this year have you?

sometimes continuity is more important than a fresh start. he deserved at least one more year. i don't agree with this decision.

I have to disagree with you on this one, BBD. Should he have gotten fired? Could go either way but when you're 8-3 and you just beat arguably the best team in the NFL at the time (Titans) and then to completely choke to not just mediocre teams but down right bad teams. San Francisco plays hard but isn't that good, Seattle had FIVE new starters (several with no game experience) on the offensive line and they still got absolutely no pressure, a Buffalo game that they should have 100% lost if they didn't hand the game to them, and the only good team they played was Miami and that was in their own building.

Not only that but Magini can't get his team prepared and continued to make foolish decision after foolish decision, and the Seattle game being by far the icing on the cake for him getting fired with one of the poorest coached games I've seen in the past couple of years.

I would find it hard to keep a guy who had a 4-12 season the previous year and then choked away the season to some horrible teams down the stretch. Especially with as many 'win now' moves they made this off season.

I'm not saying you're wrong about some of the play calling on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, but that's why he's the head coach, he is ultimately responsible for what happens on the field.

I would have given him another year, but I understand why he was fired.

I don't think the Jets are in any position to compete next year anyway, their qb situation is one of the worst in the NFL.

[bigbluedefense]

Everyone is pegging McDaniels in as Cleveland's next coach.

But what if the Jets hire him, and hire Romeo as their DC?

You keep some continuity, while upgrading your staff. I know the chances are slim, but its worth a shot.

I think he could go with Josh McDaniels as a DC with him since I don't think he is upset with him.(Browns?)

You think they want to hire another Belichick coach? Also, do you think McDaniels would go there after he saw what happened between Mangini and Belichick. I don't see McDaniels going to the Jets at all.

Not a likely scenerio. 3 of BB coaches were just fired from their HCing positions, Crennel, Weis and of course Mangini. I doubt seriously they go in that direction.

we said the SAME thing about Coughlin 2 years ago. he gets a 2nd chance with a new staff and wins the SB.

im not saying that would happen for the Jets, but sometimes we as fans need to just chill and allow guys to get another crack at it. i think Mangini would have turned this around.

sometimes **** happens. **** happened to Mangini.

Weis wasn't fired.

[bigbluedefense]

wait, Weis got fired? when did this happen?

It will happen next year. He's predicting the future.

[The Great Jonathan Vilma]

All things considered, i don't think it matters who is coaching the team, the trend for the Jets is to have an up year followed by a down year....sadly, this was supposed to be the up year, so we're back in the basement next year regardless...

Regardless of Spygate, Mangini will get a job as a coordinator if he is qualified (which he is). It comes down to winning. However, people will look at him closely because he did stab the previous team in the back after he left, and people will be careful with something like that. He'll get a job though.

Whoever said his D's have been successful was pretty off. The previous 2 years weren't anything special, as he forced the 3-4 with square pegs going into circle holes. This year there was a jump up, but again, it IMO was inconsistent and wasn't 'great'. It has some good pieces, but see the Patriots comeback with the 3 man rush and prevent D that lead to the OT forcing TD as a classic example of crap.

Like i said, i don't think the '2 winning seasons out of 3' is anything to be gloating about. He had a real good first season, even with a mish-mash defensive scheme, had a bad 2nd season, and blew it in his 3rd. I don't see the optimism. He got a bunch of talented guys, and failed. He didn't do a good job with playcalling, offensive or defensive, and he certainly didn't appear to get the guys motivated and ready to play to close the season or on trips to the coast. He beat Tennessee, it was sweet, i guess the guys got themselves pumped up for that game....but that doesn't sweeten the deal, it counted for nothing.

Oakland, Seattle, SF all beat them. Throw in Denver (in a game built for a strong gets game vs weak Denver run D) and Miami loses (both winnable). Some games they won but could have easily lost (Buffalo and KC), and a not so great showing against the Bengals......and i'm not feeling to positive about what took place. We dominated the Cardinals to pad the stats....nice. Thanks for coming out St. Louis, you were a big win.

Nuff Said.

diab, I have to strongly disagree here. This team was a very ill-prepared team. Going 0-4 on the West Coast is inexcusible and falls squarely on the shoulders of the coaching staff. Mangini tried to be too smart and would often out-smart himself. The choke job in the 2nd half of the season falls directly on Mangini and Favre

I disagree. It seems like a comparable situation, and I suppose in a lot of ways it is but there a lot of key differences. One being that Coughlin was an experienced coach who's been around a long time in the NFL. Mangini is inexperienced and has serious trouble managing games. Coughlin took us to a couple of playoff games where Mangini took his team to one playoff game with Herm Edwards players.

**** didn't just happen to Mangini, but Mangini did **** to that team too.

I think Mangini will be a good coach down the line, he just needs to get some more experience and needs to be put in a better siutation with a better coaching staff surrounding him.

[Smokey Joe]

I don't like this move one bit. They should have given him one more season. Oh well, for stupid moves like these, I hope they go on to lose their next 5 seasons.

[The Unseen]

This smacks of unnecessary desparation. Underlying causes or no, his results in any normal setting do not warrant a firing.

[gsorace]

The only people who don't think he should have been fired are people who haven't watched many Jets games
