CobraVerde Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We all like to speculate so here is one. What if Mangini never got fired. Could he had done what Ryan did which was lead the Jets to back to back championships? Many would say Ryan rode all of Mangini's draft picks and that is what got him so far. Have you changed your mind knowing where we are? Or do you think only Ryan's defensive schemes got us within a game of the Super Bowl? What were Mangini's biggest wins vs Ryan's? One can only wonder whether or not things would have been different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please God haven't there been enough revisionist history threads glorifying the false greatness of Robot Its a process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Eric Mangini was 5-16 over his last two years as a head coach without a healthy Brett Favre. He's bottom three all-time as a Jets head coach, and that's only because we've also gotten to enjoy Lou Holtz and Rich Kotite here. Guy was absolutely terrible, and his grocery shopping continues to be grossly overrated, too. Short answer, no f'ing way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Better2bgreenthanblue Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Great spreadsheet! So apparently Rex will go down as one of the great all time Jets coaches....after all he is above .500. Just shows you how bad it's been. #tradition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorge o8 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 nope! what pics??? the great Vernon these team has not had a good QB in long long time and when they turn the ball over and go 3 and out I don't care how good your D is they will be out of gas very fast.

The only reason the Jets lost back-to-back AFCCG's is because of Eric Mangini. Rex had nothing to do with it.

ucrenegade Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 no i think mangini was good at finding the pieces but I think it was rex's schemes and the fact we had alot of luck help us.

He's a terrible coach, something he continued at his next (and last) stop. He's also the guy who ratted out Belichick. A little funny to see a Pat fan leap to defend him. Rex holds the franchise record for playoff wins, and he did it not with Namath, O'Brien, Testaverde, or Pennington at QB, but with Mark Sanchez. Eric Mangini had nothing to do with that.

Matt39 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Mangini knew how to build a program and construct a staff. Rex is lost in that area... Rex is probably a better DC though. HC though, it's Mangini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Rex defenders at this point remind me of those Japanese WW2 Holdouts still waiting in those caves to wage war. If you tracked their progress in recent years, this was their evolution: 2009: "Finally, a coach that can talk the talk and walk the walk!" 2010: "Better than Belichick!" 2011: "Almost-Super-Bowl Hangover, obviously. Rex will get the team back on top NEXT YEAR!" 2012: "It's all Sanchez's fault!" 2013: "No coach in the league would have gotten this team to 8-8!" Summer, 2014: "Glad Rex is getting to build the team in HIS image finally!" November, 2014: "It's all Idzik's fault!" You'll see a lot of this, which is both predictable and slimy: "I'm not saying that Rex doesn't deserve to be fired, but..." What the purpose of these types of posts is is to allow these same Rex fans to slip back into the conversation in two years and talk about the insurmountable obstacles that Rex faced here, and how each of his losses should have an asterisk next to it. In lieu of admitting that they were flat-out wrong about Rex, they're going to lie in the weeds and tack together a pre-fabricated revisionist history of his time here. Plant the seeds, if you will.
