I wonder if the players had much to say on this matter...
I think with MH... and a good GM....Mangini may have a good year ahead...

This.
I really wonder if behind closed doors MH met with certain players: Cribbs, Thomas, D'Q, Wright; our few playmakers and asked how they felt about Mangini.
If he did, I'm sure that helped sway his opinion a bit.

He's gotta know who the GM is then. From what I gather, Mangini, the GM, and Holmgren will all have input on the draft. Holmgren presides and has ultimate authority and uses it as he sees fit, the GM makes most of the personnel decisions, and Mangini takes care of the x's and o's.
Sound about right?

This is a very smart move by Holmgren. He keeps the momentum rolling and gets to see if what we saw in December was an aberration or the start of something good. Most importantly for him, he keeps a number of scapegoats in place that can take the blame if things start to go wrong next year.
I would agree..plus the HC he may really want isn't available this year..
But EM has survived for one year..

Let's get all this moving then! Can we do the draft this weekend? And then we can start 2-a-day's the following week. Whooohoooo!

Nah, I sensed it today...the fact that Heckert flew away and we brought in the GM bum from Seattle
Horrible news....wtf did we dish out Holmgren 50mil for?
I can only hope it's the advertised "lame duck" year before CBA settlement...Mangini must be a very good talker...if his actions just were 50% as good we'd be in good hands

I am ok with Daboll coming back. He was a rookie play caller who improved as the year went on. He realized he didn't have a Qb that could hit an open receiver so he adjusted and we became a power running team. Smart move. With an offseason to review what he did this past season he should improve significantly. Now if we can just give him an average NFL Qb then we will see what he can really do.
He also adjusted to the no-huddle, something Quinn was better suited for. Plus, I'm sure he could pick up a few tips from Holmgren.

Sounds like EM spun his web and MH bought it. I'm not opposed but I'm also not sure I can take another year of Daboll.

Djang, you are aware that:
1) Will Lewis isn't the Seattle GM
2) Heckert canceled his trip to Seattle
and
3) Mike Holmgren is much more football smart than you are.
you had a good run Hank.

By keeping the whole coaching staff, if the team struggles, Holmgren can say he gave Mangini all the opportunity to succeed. Then he can fire the whole lot without anyone questioning him - including the owner.
If he fires the bunch and keeps Mangini and the team struggles, it would look like Mangini was handcuffed and doomed to fail. There will be people quick to criticize him.
So, if Mangini & Co. fail next year, it buys him an extra year to build up the talent on the team. If Mangini does well, Holmgren looks like a genius.
Basically it's a no lose strategy.

The cleveland.com article says "most" of the coaching staff, not "all." Guess we'll find this out soon enough.
I am still hoping Mangini and Ryan stay and the New GM, MH with involvement of Mangini bring in an establish OC to run a version of the WCO.

Halfway through the season I thought Daboll was about as good as any random drunk at the local bar.. maybe worse, but he improved throughout the year, and btw, he's got a true offensive genius watching him in Holmgren, so I STILL expect improvement from him next year. Who knows, we get a QB that can throw a decent ball and he might surprise some of us.
I like the way Mangini brought in other teams' scraps and turned them into overachievers without all the natural talent of the headcases we let go. I like the discipline he's instilled in the team and it's overall hardworking culture. I also like having Holmgren and his GM on board to assist with player acquistion and to help make decisions and steer the ship WORKING TOGETHER. Mangini would fail if he had to do it alone. Together they can make it work.

According to a team source with knowledge of the situation, most of Mangini's assistant coaches will also be back.
Mangini evidently impressed Holmgren during at least two days of one-on-one meetings, which were held to determine if the men from different football cultures could co-exist and work together to reach the same goal.

If you're going to do it, make sure you put the time as well.
Now here's the kicker: If Mangini doesn't win, gets fired, and Holmgren brings in Gruden or takes to the sidelines himself next season, I will have been right. 
Side note...........Can't believe we're keeping Daboll. On top of that, the report is NOT correct, as the entire coaching staff is NOT coming back. Our WR's coach has already left, so there's going to be more to the story.............

Interesting...Heckert leaves after a good interview and cancels a trip to interview with Seattle...Can't be hired yet but sure sounds good for him coming here...He woulda never canceled Seattle if he didn't want Mangini around...
2011 Gruden???...Holmgren???

http://cle.scout.com/a.z?s=149&p=9&c=2&cid=935557&nid=4691965&fhn=1 the Browns have had their first assistant coach exit the premises. Rutgers University announced earlier today that WR coach George McDonald will perform in the same role for them during the 2010 season.

The whole "Heckert doesn't want Mangini" thing was not the problem, IMO.
The problem was that Heckert didn't want to be hired by his head coach. He didn't like the structure and the setup. If Heckert is hired by the president and given a large say on personnel matters, why wouldn't he come to work with the Browns?
you had a good run Hank.

j/c
I'm surprised. I said there was a 60% chance of him being fired. So I guess you could say I was wrong. I won't though. 
Don't buy into the whole coaching staff thing. Daboll is gone. My prediction:
President: MH
GM/VP: Heckert
HC: Mangini
DC: Ryan
OC: Some WCO guy.

O-toad, don't be surprised if this one makes the archives! LOL. I for one am glad it is done. Seems like a fair move on the Not-the Czar's part. Here's to brighter tomorrows. But teach Dumbell in the off-season.

Holmgren is essentially saying "what these guys want to do (in terms of philosophy) will indeed work, it's now my job to get them the talent they need."
Kudos to Mike for evaluating the situation. A little continuity / momentum heading in to next season isn't a bad thing.
