Anyone catch this quote by Dave Hutchinson...Star Ledger

[NIGHT STALKER]

Found this in a blog of his...sounds like the media is getting ready to line up for a feeding frenzy.

"I see happening to Mangini what happened to Belichick in Cleveland. Belichick had an acrimonious relationship with the media there and as soon as he started losing, the media piled on with a vengence and ran him out of town.

If Mangini keeps this up, he should keep his bags packed."

[Sperm Edwards]

what a dick.

Like Mangini owes anything to Hutchinson. The guy worked his way up from carrying towels to HC. Now he's got to disclose his plans before the season starts or else Hutchinson will make things unpleasant for him?

Herm did a lot more damage here than we realize. The press was used to getting very little even with a lot of digging. Then they were given everything they could want with minimal (if any) digging. Then they had that gravy-train taken away suddenly & they're bitter about it. And it's up to Mangini to take care of them like a nursing mother?

Blow me. I'm a Jets fan, not a Star-Ledger fan.

[JetCane]

Typical d1ck media, trying to influence future events instead of objectively reporting on what is happening now.

[Maxman]

Think about this....

With Herm here all they were doing is writing an article or two a day. Now that Herm is gone and they get less information they have all decided to start blogs. Meaning in addition to the article or two each day they also have to fill a blog with notes.

There will be a lot of grumpy reporters. Hutch walked away from Brick-Gate (the Cannizaro incident) looking good. Now he writes this.

Whah, whah, whah. What a bunch of babies these guys sound like at times.

You know what, my job is hard as well. Somedays you just have to work. What you should do every morning is check your mouth (or other appendages) for a silver spoon. If the silver spoon does not exist, plan on working hard that day.

Good grief.

As if it could possibly get any worse. That POS.

[JetsMan57]

Sans Randy Lange the rest of these guys are a bunch of cry baby flakes.

Hutchinson crying about the lack of access

Rich Whinini crying about the loud music (ear plugs would work great)

and Cannizzaro complaining about anything un-Herm.

What bunch of tools.

Problem with this theory is that Mangini has an audience of exactly one, named Woody Johnson. And said audience just went through 5 years of football coached by a guy the press absolutely loved. If anyone thinks Johnson is going to care a bit about what the press thinks after being snowed first into hiring and then into dealing with "nice guy"Edwards, they really are full of themselves. If Mangini has this team on a winning track, what the press thinks isn't going to matter.

I like your Woody point of view.

Woody isn't dumb. he knew when he hired Mangini that he was out of

the Parcells and belly mode and this was going to happen. In fact

you can bet the house in the interviews prior to his hire that this was

discussed and everyone was onboard.

Now its true that if the Jets start losing these guys will burn him at

the stake but I admire a guy who has a plan and sticks to it no matter

what the outcome might be.

All I want to see is a competitive team and let the chips fall where they may.

I mentioned something about this is Max's TC report thread. On Monday morning he was on Sirius NFL radio and went on for an hour about how "Mangini isn't making friends with him or the other members of the press and the overall feeling is....Once he starts losing they can't wait to unload both barrels on him. WHo does he think he is keeping us in the dark,blah,blah,blah"

I find it pathetic everybody is crying aboyt something this offseason. The media,the fans....everyone. Grow up...there is no crying in football.

Not only does he have Woody in his corner,Mangini seems to have the fans as well. As a whole,we seem to trust him and Tannenbaum to do whats best for the team,regardless of the press. If the fans turn on him,thats one thing...but not even the NY press will be able to run out a coach who's got the owner and majority of the fan base on his side.

It just goes to show you...The Press and the Jets beat writers could care less about the NY Jets. Their only concern is selling newspapers. Mangini & Co. have done everything right this far and they deserve some credit not some reporter with a grude taking shots any chance the gets

Exactly. What kind of reporter threatens to run a coach out of town before he's even coached an exhibition game,let alone an actual meaningful game

In the old days before internet forums and the likes, I could see how this bears some relevance. All you had were the papers and a few friends who also were diehard fans to talk to. there wasn't a whole lot of opinions or information coming from elsewhere. But today the fans are on forums like these, and quite frankly I get all my Jets news from here. The only time I see an article from any of those clowns anymore is when someone posts it here. even under Mangini's tight lipped regime, we still get alot more up to date info on the team than we did before these forums ever started and I'm content with that.

Mangini obviously knows what is to come from the media as the team loses games this year, and he obviously doesn't give a poop. Good for him. He's focused on the team and not pandering to the media. When the media doesn't know anything then neither do our opponents. All I need to see is what happens on gameday. whatever happens in between is irrelevant to me. If the guys playing on gameday play hard and win, then who really cares about the rest of it?

POTW NOM...agree 100%

Another thing worth mentioning which I got out of the last issue of JC is that Herm was such a big mouth that he used to help teams gameplan for the Jets. One source in particular said the Patriots were amazed at how lax Herm was with the injury reports. Herm used to divulge injury info so early in the week that the Pats used it to gameplan against us.

Mangini knows what he is doing.

When that was happening it seemed so obvious that I always hoped it just wasn't true.

Unfortunately it was true.

Outstanding post Booz.

You nailed it 100%.

Going from Hermy to Mangini, the NY press is feeling a 180 degree turnaround.

Exactly what did this guy say that is wrong.The 1st thing he did was compare how Mangini's 1st HCing stint resembles that of Belichek as far as the media is concern.The 2nd thing he did was state what happen to Belichek as a result and speculates that the same thing could happen to Mangini since he's folowing the same approach.

At no time did this reporter state that he himself would attack Mangini because of his tactics.All he said was what could happen if the Jets don't win which is exactly what happens in just about every big media market.

You folks are so locked into the Herm hate,you can't even rationalize a simple statement.It was a speculation of what could happen in the media capital of the world should 1 situation occurs.What happens if a different situation occurs,with the Jets actually doing what so many of you don't believe they can.

What can the media do if the Jets actually win.Most that can happen is mangini either deals with the distraction positively should the media come after him,or crumble under the pressure.Either way,the Jets will know what kind of HC they have in the NY market.
