So Much For Mangenius

To say Eric Mangini has been knocked off his loft perch could be the understatement of the century. The former Mangenius has fallen from leading the Jets to the playoffs in his first season as an NFL coach to running what is now being described as “the worst team in the NFL.” Ouch. Mangini has shown an inability to build a team from the ground up, deal with the media, or adapt on the fly, all things that winning coaches are able to do to a degree. Again, it’s only been 3 weeks, but the wheels may come off the Browns before they get to week 8. If Mangini can’t get it together, his NFL career may be finished before he gets to 40, something that no one could predict when he was poached from New England 4 years ago. As much as the Patriots can be dealing with the cosmic implications of Spy Gate, could Mangini be fighting his own Karma demons from dropping the dime that brought the whole mess on?
