So, do you think they offered him a contract? Are they waiting to see how the Tice interview goes tomorrow? Did Mangini turn them down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Bradway probably told him that it would be a good idea if he talkd to BB before making a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny stuff, but the sad part about your post is that it's probably not that far from the truth...either that or Mangini said he had to ask his mother and father for permission to sign.

RSJ Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2293882 NEW YORK -- The New York Jets interviewed Patriots defensive coordinator Eric Mangini on Sunday night for their vacant head coaching job. General manager Terry Bradway and assistant GM Mike Tannenbaum met with Mangini in the Foxborough, Mass., area. The two then returned to New York to prepare for their interview with former Vikings coach Mike Tice on Monday. The Jets are expected to move quickly after interviewing Tice. They are trying to replace coach Herman Edwards, who left for Kansas City. Mangini, who turns 35 this week, appears to be the top name on the Jets' list. But his inexperience and age could be a factor. There are several things working in his favor, including his ties to Tannenbaum and the Jets. He was an assistant with the team from 1997-99. Mangini also has spent most of his career learning from Patriots coach Bill Belichick. It is thought Mangini would take the job if it was offered. After a 27-13 playoff loss to Denver on Saturday night, Patriots defensive end Richard Seymour vouched for Mangini. "He definitely has the ability to be a great coach in this league," Seymour said. "He has a lot of tools that it takes. He's very poised. He's a smart guy. He understands defenses and how to take things away from offenses, so he'll probably have a lot of success in this league." The Jets have spoken to six other coaching candidates: former Saints coach Jim Haslett, former Rams interim coach Joe Vitt, Giants defensive coordinator Tim Lewis, and Jets assistants Donnie Henderson, Mike Heimerdinger, Mike Westhoff. Something tells me they are going to **** this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I heard Bradway left the contract sitting on his desk in Hofstra. That combined with the fact that Bradway's 3 references were Robert Kraft, Dan Snyder and Herm Edwards may have done this one in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Why did they wait to talk to Tice? I thought they already spoke with him. They better not screw this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 One more thing. How can anyone say anything about Mangini's experience when he has literally twice as much as Edwards did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aec4 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 One more thing. How can anyone say anything about Mangini's experience when he has literally twice as much as Edwards did? Doesn't make his experience good enough. Edwards didn't have experience either. I'd rather see Heimerdinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Doesn't make his experience good enough. Edwards didn't have experience either. I'd rather see Heimerdinger. Mangini has 11 years of coaching experience. How much did Edwards have when he took the job? How much did Gruden have? And lastly how much does Marty Schotenheimer have?

NIGHT STALKER Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Experience isn't everything. Like anything else in life, it's the intangibles that help you along. If it was solely based on experience, Westhoff would have the job hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Of Bavaria Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Terry Bradway will walk into the Tice interview and state: "You had me at hello" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Just called Tice back to give him the bolts that fell out of his neck during his last interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 They will give Tice the interview as a professional courtesy. The guy is in town to meet them so they will not snub him. Either way, I have a feeling that they will make the announcement tomorrow night or Tuesday morning. If it's not Mangini it had better be the Dinger.

Jet/BosoxFan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Why cant the Jets give Mike Sherman the same professional courtesy they give to idiot Mike Tice? Oh thats right, I forgot...Sherman might actually help this team NOT be an embarrassment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsMan57 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Who knows, it doesnt look like tice will get another HC job this year, maybe the Jets want to see if he is cut out to be an OC? Looks like Dinger is a goner unless he is given the HC job. Just trying to stay optimistic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets28 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Terry Bradway will walk into the Tice interview and state: "You had me at hello" ...POTW. Everyone is bragging on this 11 years of coaching "experience" but he's only had real experience planning ad "coaching" as a coordinator which he hasn't been very long. I hope this guy is all that everyone thinks he is. Anywho...I digress...we'll see in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
