CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns agreed to hire Eric Mangini as their head coach. The team confirmed the move on Wednesday evening.
Mangini was fired as coach of the Jets on Dec. 29, the same day the Browns dismissed former coach Romeo Crennel.

Mangini, 23-25 in three seasons with the Jets, has been the front-runner for the Browns job.

The 37-year-old began his NFL career as a ballboy with the Browns in 1994.

The team also has interviewed candidates to fill its vacant general manager position. Browns owner Randy Lerner met with Patriots GM Scott Pioli, but the momentum for Pioli joining the Browns has cooled.

He and Mangini, a former Patriots assistant, may have bitterness lingering from 2007 Spygate scandal that cost New England a first-round draft pick.

The Browns have sought to interview Ravens executive George Kokinis for their GM position, but they cannot meet with him until after the Ravens' playoff game in Tennessee on Sunday.

This is a good move. Mangini should've never been fired from the New York Favres.

Mangini reminds me of a Jason Alexander with Hair-lol

catlover79 · 01-08-2009, 03:16 PM

On our local news last night, they showed a clip of him from his stint as a waiter on The Sopranos.

GARFIELDKOOL · 01-08-2009, 07:51 PM

They wasted no time hiring him. I'll bet Romeo Crennel doesn't get a HC job that quick.

Waterston_Fan · 01-08-2009, 08:09 PM

He probably has a better shot of fixing the Browns than he would in Detroit.

Heck, even Bobby Ross couldn't even fix the Lions when he left San Diego in 1997.

Mangini is trying to get Crennel to stay on the coaching staff in some way.

Yeah, I heard that he may name Romeo as defensive coordinator.

Mangini's brother-in-law is Indians Manager Mark Shapiro.

IMO-This may be the Browns 2009 Schedule....

Jets
Bills
Texans
Jaguars
Raiders
Chiefs
Bears
Loins
Packers
Vikings
Steelheads 2x
Bungles 2x
Ravens 2x
