Ok maybe the title is a bit harsh but is their some truth to it?
Mangini was ousted after having a two winning season and one poor season so the question is why was a guy once called Mangenius by the New York media, now looking for jobs?
One reason is they went 0-4 on the West Coast and they went 1-3 against the AFC West which was a bad division. That should not have happened with the players they had. The lost to Seattle was the cherry on top not even getting a touchdown in snowy conditions. Mangini also had many questionable play calls that led people to believe that him and Favre didnt get along that well.
Another reason is the play of Brett Favre in the month of December. Favre didnt have it in the final month of the season when they needed it the most. My buddy Steve whose a true Jets fan and was at the game on Sunday said there were fans throwing their Favre jerseys on the field on Sunday. He was booed at the beginning of the game and at the end of the game, that never happened at Lambeau.
They're needed to be a change at quarterback but if they would of rode with Kellen Clemens, their record might be the same. Thomas Jones was the leader rusher in the AFC but was overshadowed by Favre which should have never happened. The defense was good enough for Clemens to keep the record the same.
If I was the Jets, I would take a look at Steve Spagnulo of the New York Giants, not a bad idea to bring in a defensive minded coach in there. Bill Cowher is a name that's being thrown around but I really think he is still very loyal to the Steelers franchise but he does have a lot of ties to New York. Marty Schottenheimer is another old name being thrown into the mix.
-Charlie.
