Anyone hear Francesca say Mangini is taking over the defense?

He said this right before the 3 pm update. They talked about the Jets for 10 or so minutes. Mike said he was told that Mangini is spending all of his time on the defense. That the players are frustrated with the lack of results.

Sounds like Mangini is doing something we hoped he was going to do after the Denver game, San Fran at the latest.

He also talked about Romeo coming here next year as DC. And said Sutton's seat was beyond hot.

It 3 games for Mangini to figure out what we knew. Head coach should be a little quicker.

If this is true and Mangini is going to take over the D from here on out than this makes it three for three in years Bob Sutton was the Defensive Coordinator and Eric Mangini had to step in and take over the play calling duties. Enough is ****ing enough. Fire this bum and get ANYBODY else. Pluck a fan from the stands if you have too, enough is enough with Bob Sutton. The guy is the worst coach to never get blasted in this city/area.

Mangini needs to do this to save his own ass... step up to the plate and prove your a defensive head coach and not some idiot that stands there all game...

If he can turn things around he will earn himself another year here with a real DC>..

Is there enough time though? Stuff like this happens in week 10...not week 15. He should have done this weeks ago.

By the way, stick a fork in Sutton.

Im not giving my personal feelings... more like what I think the JETS will do...

I would be willing to entertain the idea of Mangini for 1 more year with a new DC... if and only if there are no coaches that are an upgrade available...

Didn't we say this the prior two years?

How can you demand excellence of your players, yet you keep a D Coordinator on that you don't even trust.

I think they put all their eggs in the Ryan basket last year. They thought Al Davis wouldn't stop Kiffin from letting him go. They were wrong and by the time it all played out too much time had passed.

I agree though, if they don't trust him -- they shouldn't have kept him. This move, even though I agree with it, is like them hedging their bet a bit.

All I really want to see at least once is the defensive formation that is no formation at all. Everyone standing around and then a strange blitz\zone scheme.

Just give me one play like that. I like it. :-P

Right now, that secondary is lost out there, and they are all looking at each other, so anything may be an improvement.

What's funny is, Sutton would get torn apart by the same team.

I wouldn't say "torn apart", but he definitely plays with too much caution. Mangini is way more aggressive and will take that calculated risk... look at the challenges Mangini plays as head coach.

What I like best, is the way Eric justifies his moves. When we go for it on 4th and 2, 4th and 1 (or whatever); we do so for a reason that Eric can justify. Conversely, Sutton seems to try and sqeak-by games and play "good enough" defense. I hope we see a more attacking approach from Mangini. One that permits players to adjust the scheme should they get a "hunch"... kinda like offensive audibles but on defense.

I think Rhodes should be able to blitz or jump routes whenever he feels like it, and I hope Mangini frees his playmakers to make those kind of plays.

In fairness Sutton can't justify anything publicly because he isn't allowed to talk to the media. I am sure if he did though, he wouldn't convince us anyway.

When he took over for Sutton during the 2006 season, our D did end up improving alot. It was the cleveland game where he took over and our D became 1 of the better scoring D's in the 2nd half of that season. Hopefully we get the same results this time, but why didnt he do this weeks ago (not to mention completely scrapping Sutton after 06')??? :bag:

I would be glad with a change from Sutton but I agree I do not know if Romeo is the answer

Didn't Romeo put some championship defenses together, that's how he got his job, right, And wasn't it the same 3-4 that we use, the only one mangini knows???

BTW, these are REAL questions, not sarcasm.

and....Mangini thinks of Romeo like a big Uncle or something-he really respects him and I'm sure, trusts him too. Bob Sutton is a pretty good LBer coach or maybe they can give Crennell an Asst. HC title but really make him the defensive co-ordinator. I'd hate to see Sutton get ****canned altogether but come on man we need some stops and I don't think Jets nation (not the site) could survive watching He Who Shall Remain Nameless beat us on a Sunday night flew job in 2 weeks....

Good move - but look deeper.

Why announce it publically? Typical spiteful sleazy sh*t from Mangini. Not sure how you can trust an HC that throws players and coaches under the bus in public. He has a history of doing this. His public humilation of Kendall was epic. I imagine his players privately think he's a serious d-bag.

Ok how many years in a row will Mangini be forced to take over the defense late in the season? What is the point of even having a defensive coordinator when he constantly has to be coddled like this?

He's a pr*ck, I imagine. That said, I have never, ever, seen him throw a player or coach under the bus and publically humiliate them. EVER. It's a business. It's not supposed to be personal.
