What next? An update on Eric Mangini stopping his bus in New Haven for tacos?

The guy turned the Browns around in 2 years and they haven’t been back to the playoffs since he left. Just don’t make the mistake Cleveland did and have him be General Manager on top of coaching. The guy made some really dumb personell moves just to show he was boss.

He did it at Miami, then Coker benefitted from Davis people.
He has done it again at UNC.
Wherever he does, anyone from his college systems are stars in the NFL.
Thank god the Giants have Hakeem Nicks & Marvin Austin from Davis system @ UNC

At least his kid got some extra help from the tutor, ooops was I suppose to let that out. North Carolina was not known as football school and he was trying to move them, cheating isn’t the way.

-63-0 blowouts
-Kids that can barely speak English getting free rides and a massive sense of entitlement
-Defenses that can’t cover the pass
-Kids getting free education wanting money because they won’t finish their degrees and think they’ll be in the nfl for 20 years

It’s stupid

He certainly turned that Miami program around (although the process took forever and he never saw it to fruition), but I can’t name too many college coaches that did less with more. Those last couple of Miami teams were stacked at almost every position.

I won’t even mention the disaster that he was in the NFL. I didn’t realize he was as old as he is, so essentially it’s over for him.

In hindsight, probably should have jumped at that University of Tennessee job a couple of years ago when they were interested.

Before people say, “Most schools pay their players.” Yes, that is true but Butch Davis used to coach at Miami. Miami was notorious for all kinds of rules violations while Coker, Davis, Erickson and Johnson were at the reigns. Was anyone really surprised that this happened? I was surprised that an institution like Carolina would allow someone like Davis to coach there. It is the equivalent of Callipari coaching at their school. Eventually you know that the NCAA is going to be setting up shop on campus and ready to issue all kinds of penalties to the school.

After his Miami run he’s been 28-23 in college and 24-34 in the pros as a head coach. Time for fresh meat. This guy can’t even win when he cheats…LOL

“Paying amateurs is immoral. Now please go buy NCAA 2011 and all the merchandise out there! Don’t forget to watch the all new Tositos-Gatorade-Samsung-Foldgers-Bank of America-Pampers Bowl, brought to you by Pepsi and Ford!!!”

He did a good job of turning that program aroundhole. He infused a lot of talent and there is still good defensive talent there now.
