I had a vision of Marty Flippin Morningwig as our Head Coach and my head damn near exploded .....

It was worse for me.......

shoot.. i think there was another place where you said you would switch your name if he got fired. I remember reading it twice.

my bad if i'm wrong too

Well it AIN'T the first time.. but someone has to capture this one !

Bet Daboll is history...



I'm gonna rain on someone's parade..but I thought he was ousted myself..I just don't see how this is gonna work ..they will be getting players to try to help EM ..well here's saying i freally gotta see the players that are aquired and what freaking type of system they run..well we all know the 34 stays intact but the offense has one playmaker..thats it..one..

He's back bc there is going to be a lock out after next season. This was a financial move.

I don't think that's it at all. One, Holmgren couldn't care less about spending Lerner's money. And two, the league remains optimistic that a lockout will be avoided, and I don't think there will be one either.

I guess Mangini agreed to change agents.

Not sure how much stock I put in this.

If it is so, Manginis plan must have mirrored Holmgrens enough that if he or someone else should take over the change would be minimal.

Dabol?... Really?...can't be.

D'Qwell seemed happy on his twitter.

STATEMENT FROM BROWNS PRESIDENT MIKE HOLMGREN

"I'm happy to announce that Eric Mangini will return as head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 2010. Over the past few weeks Eric and I have had a chance to talk on a number of occasions including our meetings over the last two days. I was able to gain some tremendous insight into his thought process and philosophies, and came away from our meetings very impressed. In my opinion, Eric has gained the respect and admiration of players, coaches and others in the organization, and with him continuing to lead the team I feel that we are headed in the right direction. Working together, our goal is to build on the strong tradition of this franchise and help get the Browns back to the playoffs."

STATEMENT FROM BROWNS HEAD COACH ERIC MANGINI

"I want to thank Mike for the opportunity to not only meet with him and share my thoughts and vision on what it takes to lead a team, but also to continue what we started here. I believe we made some real, tangible progress throughout the course of the season, culminating with wins in our final four games. I feel as though the culture and mindset that we established this year have laid the foundation for success in 2010 and beyond, and I'm looking forward to working with Mike and a general manager in making this happen."

Fantastic News!!!!

Congrats EM!

I'm happy to announce that Eric Mangini will not return as head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 2010. Over the past few weeks Eric and I have had a chance to talk on a number of occasions including our meetings over the last two days. I was unable to gain any insight into his thought process and philosophies, and came away from our meetings very nausiated and sick. In my opinion, Eric hasn't and will never gain the respect and admiration of players, coaches and others in the organization, and without him continuing to lead the team I feel that we are headed in the right direction. Working together with my new staff, our goal is to build on the strong tradition of this franchise and help get the Browns back to the playoffs."



Fixed it ..Sorry..couldn't resist..

I think the article i just read and posted is why EM is back... 8th best rusing offense improved TOP less penalties 8th in sacks and a few other stats

Last paragraph!

You know what I find funny about all this? Every one of those damn "Insiders" swore up and down that Mangini was gone. How did these clowns even get a paycheck is beyond me.

I just can't seem to get into the groove.
I honestly thought he'd be gone.I've gone from dislike to acceptence,and can see both the benefits and negatives of retaining him.
Daboll,I thought he did a very good job molding the crap pile he was given.I'm glad he's back.
Selig was outstanding,and Ryan was allright.A good coaching staff.

I think two things (in addition to his team finishing strong) saved EM's butt.

Slim pickings that Holmgren would have been content with.

Lerner (I suspect) probably put forward a good stand for Mangini. Lerner likes him, was sold on him, and would love to see him suceed. I'm not saying Holmgren made his decision because of this, but I believe it made the decision a lot easier.

Next year will be interesting.

JMO

clicking.
Glad to hear it.
After initial misgivings, I was impressed with what Mangini brought to the table this year, in terms of discipline and accountability. He deserved another year at least.

I also am very skeptical of the idea that this gives Holmgren "a scapegoat" if things go wrong in 2010... I doubt he's looking at things that way, I'd prefer to believe he feels he has a good coach and a solid foundation already in place. If he didn't believe in EM, do you think Mangini would still have a job today?
Holmgren seems to have a lot of integrity and IMO he wouldn't be that manipulative...
As for Daboll, I've been pretty quiet on him... I will say that a I've seen a lot of posters critical of his playcalling, but rarely do they offer examples as to why.
You can't make ice cream out of dog poop.

Go Browns, let's make some noise in 2010!

You can't make ice cream out of dog poop.

Well I suppose technically you could...

Only if you were from Pittsburgh.

I agree,, Holmgren wants to win, he's a winner. he's not going to keep Mangini to use as a scape goat if things go south.. He's keeping him cause he thinks he can do that damn job.. JMO

Daboll``s return floors me to say the least !

j/c

Just curious, the way that they are now saying that most of the staff will be back may be a nice way of saying we're going to revamp the offense.

Curious to see who gets fired and hired *if anyone, that is.*

I agree with you. I think that maybe just maybe,he was actually impressed with Mangini. Mangini seems to be very smart,maybe not the"Mangenious", but smart anyway. And he does seem to know the game of football better than alot of coaches that we have seen around here in along time.

I have to say I didn't think that Mangini would keep his job. I'm not exactly surprised by it because I think he did some good things as the head coach. My problem with him was more on the personnel side. I wasn't impressed with his draft or the players he brought in.


I am however very surprised that we kept the offensive coaches in place. I was very much looking forward to seeing the WCO similar to what I watched him run in GB. (admittedly I didn't see many Seahawk games so I can't comment there) It looks like that isn't going to happen.


Someone else said a while back that if they brought in one of Holmgrens people to run the offense and we had his offensive philosophy coupled with Mangini and Ryan's vision of the defense we would then have the best of both worlds. I guess if Mangini was staying this was what I was hoping for.

j/c You guys might be reading too much into this "told the whole coaching staff" thing. Just because he told the coaches, doesn't mean they are all staying. It just means he probably hasn't made those decisions yet...... Getting a GM and determining the HC is probably higher on his list.
