The Browns have agreed to hire former Jets coach Eric Mangini. From ESPN:
Mangini, fired last week by the Jets, agreed to a four-year deal, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com’s Michael Smith on Wednesday.
Mangini will be introduced at a Thursday news conference at the team’s headquarters in Berea, Ohio, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because Mangini’s contract has not been finalized.
As a result, our Chiefs are likely the sole survivor when it comes to the Pioli sweepstakes. From Red Zone:
With Cleveland reportedly deciding on former Jets coach Eric Mangini to replace Romeo Crennel, that makes it far less likely that New England personnel man Scott Pioli will end up as the Browns’ general manager.
Pioli reportedly wants to hire his own people and, if nothing else, make his own decision on the direction of the team that hires him. There are few bigger directional shifts than a coaching change, and the Cleveland job probably just lost much of its luster for a man who appears eager to make his own name and establish a team’s future.
The latest report (from 610, via Arrowhead Pride) is that Scott Pioli and the Chiefs are currently haggling over two things: money and control. Hopefully, they are just negotiating amounts, and this will be a done deal sooner than later. As always, stay tuned…
