Hermed slipper vi for Mike Tice, Jim Haslett og Joe Vitt!Jeg har sakset "lidt" i dagens New Yorker aviser:
New York Times:
"Mangini will become the 14th coach in the franchise's 46-year history"
"He is not exactly a stranger to the Jets, having worked for them as a defensive assistant and as a quality control coach from 1997 to 1999. He coached against them the past six seasons with the Patriots"
"Mangini coached New England's defensive backs for five seasons before being promoted to defensive coordinator this season"
"Twelve years ago, Mangini was delivering pizzas and photocopied articles to the news media as a public relations intern for the Cleveland Browns. Now he will be asked to deliver victories to Jets fans who are starved for success. The story of the day will be Mangini's own, after years of work to make it so."
New York Post:
"Eric Mangini wasn't only the right way to go, he was the only way to go."
"You take the Best Available Boy Wonder.
You take the Best Available Boy Belichick."
"The story is that the Jets let it all ride now on the hot kid, Eric Mangini. Woody Johnson, an owner with no real points on the board, tries to show he can hire a coach who can put the Jets back on top for the first time since Joe Namath. Terry Bradway, the general manager who has had five years and won't get many more if he is wrong about Mangini, tries to show that he has the judgment to do the same thing. So they go for a coach born two years after Namath won Super Bowl III."
"They hand over the store to a talented young coach whose main head coaching experience, as far as you can tell reading his actual resume, was coaching the Kew Colts, a semi-pro team in Australia"
"Doesn't it seem a little early to make him a head coach? Probably.
Did the Jets have a better choice? Probably not.
(...)
Which means: Mangini is one lucky guy.
Which also means: This was a crummy time to be coach- hunting."
"From a conventional standpoint, hiring Mangini is all wrong. A coach barely older than most players in his locker room, and younger than some, must gain their respect and minimize the early mistakes he'll undoubtedly make.
But the Jets, true to their name, are winging it here, and maybe it's the right call. Maybe Mangini is staring at a 20-year career, filled with winning teams and respect and a confetti ride down Broadway. Maybe he'll have a Jon Gruden impact and make youth and intensity work in his favor."
