So the consensus is building for A) the ousting of Mangini and B) the hiring of the John Fox. I guess I'm ok with that. I always thought John Fox was one of the top 5-10 coaches in the game. Still sort of seems like spinning wheels....

I'm scared to death of Jeff Fisher. He's going to get fired and I haven't heard any definitive word yet on Garrett. If Fisher winds up in Dallas I don't know what I'll do.
John Fox is not getting nearly enough blame for the Panthers. Every year they seem to underachieve or collapse.

This year notwithstanding (when they had to start 14 different terrible QBs and lost their best defensive player). The Jake Delhomme playoff game certainly taints everything. Oh good, they'd be reunited.

Good to see the Browns players going all out to save Mangini's job.

I take back the good things I've been saying about the browns lately. They are terrible.

Me too. Can't really defend him any more.
I'd still give him another year though...

Vikings are going to remove the interim tag from Leslie Frasier this week. I'm happy with the hire.

Any chance Holmgren hires himself?

Doubt it. I'm not sure if those Holmgren-itching-to-return-to-coaching were true way back when.

Peter King- 'I believe Mangini will be fired tomorrow.. Holmgren will settle on a prime candidate of - Marty Mornhinweg.'
Wake me in 2013.

Yeah I guess Morhinweg is the one responsible for Vick's resurgence. Figures he'd get a shot somewhere.
Of course, I remember him at Detroit and I don't think anyone looks back on that era fondly.

Well it's official. Mangini out.
I still think he's gotten a couple raw deals - being fired after a 9-7 season in which he was Favre-d right out of the playoffs. And it's not his fault that Randy Lerner hired him before the GM, that's what doomed his tenure from the beginning.
I imagine he'll be a DC somewhere before getting another shot at HC some time later.
Presumably this means that Rob Ryan and Brian Daboll are out at coordinators as well.

I still think he's gotten a couple raw deals I don't know why I'm so loyal to Cleveland coaches. I said the same thing about Mike Brown and Romeo Crennel.
