Jets owner Woody Johnson and general manager Mike Tannenbaum just announced that coach Eric Mangini will not be returning next year. Johnson said:
We met with the coach this morning...We thanked him for all the good things he had done for us, we thanked him for his dedication and his loyalty. But he understood... For the current New York Jets organization, we've made the decision to move on. It's a judgment call. This is not a decision that we reached yesterday or 10 minutes ago. We don't take this decision lightly. We want to build on the successful foundation that he's laid.They said they would look for a new coach and that they wanted Brett Favre, who is undergoing an MRI today, to return. Also: Defensive coordinator Bob Sutton and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer were fired as well.
Last week, WFAN host and long-suffering Jets fan Joe Benigno had said after the team's loss to the terrible Seattle Seahawks, "In a huge game, I don't know if I've ever seen a worse-coached football game than what Mangini gave you yesterday... The decisions he made yesterday, a Pop Warner coach would know more football and would be a smarter football guy than this absolute buffoon idiot that has no business stepping foot again on the sidelines coaching this team!" Just now, after the press conference, Benigno said, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

Year in and year out, the Jets are the victims of their own unreasonable expectations. You'd think the fanbase of a team that hasn't played a meaningful game since 1969 would be more realistic.
I guess he's no longer called "Mangenius", huh?
We can still call him Mangina, right?
They never should have hired him in the first place. He was a shitty head coach. GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE to that meat head
He looked so sad last night, poor guy. Coaching was always way over his head.
When it comes to losing it's always the coach fault and not the players? right? The Jets choking wasn't all Magini fault.
This is probably for the best even though I must say Mangini wasn't the one overthrowing balls and dropping passes.
Name of the day: Woody Johnson
The team still had a much better record this year than last.
