It doesn't take a genius to see that the Dolphins were more or less in the same position as the Browns last year, and then managed to turn it around this year. If you’re serious about shaping up an organization as abysmal as the Browns you have start at the top like the Dolphins did, and then work your way down. Mangini was hired because of his wife’s connections to the Cleveland community. Now the pundits are coming up with convenient explanations for his hire based on his experience. What experience? The Jets melted down at the end of the season and the Dolphins won the division. When will we as fans in Cleveland wake up? We need to take an active stake in our team’s success. When the Dolphins stop winning the fans in Miami stop buying tickets. I know we take pride in our loyalty as fans, but let’s get real for a minute and start comparing win loss records. Blind loyalty has made us into unwitting enablers of mediocrity. It’s time for some tough love from the dog pound. I say stop going to the games. Boycott this mediocrity. We need to turn up the heat. Lerner will get the message that we’re pissed off and we’re not taking it anymore! We have to demand real change, otherwise the losing will continue and Cleveland will be the butt of jokes. It’s up to us. We have to change our own mindset first, and then management will be forced to follow.

Look at it like this, under Bill in NE Mangini worked as a DB coach UNDER Crenell for 6 years. he was hired as a D coordinator only for one year in which he never really called the plays. How does that make him a better coach than Crennell. The only reason NY Jets hired him is they thought he would bring some insight into the Patriots organization in which he did on the whole taping thing. Why would anyone want a coach like that. What Lerner doesn't realize is Mangini was fired for something that the owner isn't telling. Your owner is an idiot who hired for personal reasons.

Mangini could be the right guy in that this team simply needed a square kick in the pads, we've needed someone that will not tolerate or give the media/fans answers like "if we, then we'll"..the guy seems like a tactician, a good game planner, more times than not we were figured out after 2 or 3 series thus losing the game(s) I only hope that Lerner doesn't blow it by hiring a GM based only on a 3 year coaches recommendation simply because they are buds. We need a solid GM who knows what players to draft and or get through free agency to build on what cornerstones we already have.
