Or about Pennington in 2008.

I admit, it's a stretch, but the point was hinted at that Brett sells luxury boxes at the new stadium and Mangini doesn't...

It's my favorite theory: "If you want to know the answer to any question, follow the money"...

And hundreds of other coaches who ended up just sucking at coaching.

Yeah I follow your rationale... just saying if that ends up being true, it's taking them down to a new level of stupidity.

poor Mangina being the scapegoat for the disaster of Favre.

I find ti amusing that it is rumoured Cowher doesn't want to coach the Jets because of favre. Brett is uncoachable but the media still licks his sac...

It's hilarious, I wanted Mangini fired because the guy is not a good coach or talent evaluator (the #6 overall pick = Vernon "The Ghost" Gholston).

However, trying to get Tannenbaum or Woody give a reason they fired Mangini was impossible. Give me ONE reason (there are several) and these two kept repeating the same mantra, "It was a judgment call." These clowns wanted to get rid of him because they were hoping for the chance that Cowher would come and boost seat sales more.

The only rational reason they would want a washed up Favre back is to sell seats too- surgery won't help him read defenses any better.

It's no secret the PSL sales are going terribly for the Jets- its all about the bottom line. Woody felt the fan base was unhappy with Mangini and thus wouldn't buy seats in his precious stadium.

The Post reported today that Cowher is interested, but is not interested in retaining Favre...

If they get Cowher to commit it's a win+win b/c he can sell the seats and the franchise gets rid of both Mangini and Favre EXACTLY at their 'sell by' date...

Interesting to see if the Jets can 'fail up' to the Cowher minus Favre scenario...

[Spectre]

Mangini was the only guy gullible enough to coach Favre- its clear that the Jets idiotically want Favre to come back and Cowher smartly doesn't want to be within 10 feet of that circus.

Brett Favre: missing the playoffs, leading the league in interceptions, losing a 3rd round draft pick, the guy no established coach wants on the roster... the gift that just keeps on giving

Sources close to Cowher said he did not want to have Favre as his quarterback, and that he also wanted to bring in people he was familiar with to handle personnel.
