Shows what I know

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
CLEVELAND --- The Browns have agreed to terms on a contract with Eric Mangini to be their next head coach, a league source said Wednesday.

Not particularly my favorite choice, but I guess we'll see what happens. Here we go with a Patriots-Ravens leadership team again, as the Browns are said to be targeting another Ravens front office guy to replace Phil Savage as general manager.

Mangini's record isn't really all that good. He's has one good season, one bad season, and one season that was half-good and half-bad. And if, as Bill Parcells says, you are what your record says you are, that adds up to mediocre.

I wonder why Randy Lerner didn't give Russ Grimm a look. The former Steelers assistant head coach under Bill Cowher seems to get mentioned a lot during coaching change season, but never gets a job. First of all, he's a Steeler product and would know how to run the ball and play tough defense. Second, he was a heckuva offensive lineman in his day with the Redskins and would bring a lot of credibility from having played in the NFL.

Well, there's probably a reason why I don't own or run an NFL team. There's probably a reason Lerner didn't try to hire Marty Schottenheimer or Grimm. I just don't really know what made Mangini a good choice.
