Mangini vigil

December

At 10 a.m. Woody Johnson is expected to announce that Eric Mangini is no longer the head coach of the New York Jets. Last night, after backing Mangini all season, Johnson announced that he would evaluate everything this week.

Apparently he didn’t need that much time. At 2:45 in the morning, the Jets PR sent out a Metsian press release announcing this 10 a.m. meeting with the owner and General Manager Mike Tannenbaum.

Here is a telling sound bite from Woody Johnson during an Aug. 2 lunch meeting. It’s pre-Brett Favre, and Johnson said there is no mandate and that he expects to make the playoffs. Very telling, have a listen.

Let’s hope Woody gets us a dynamic coach. Remember when Leon Hess said I want a winner and he picked Rich Kotite.
