In Which the Fired Lands On His Feet

So what were the Vegas Odds on Eric Mangini getting a head coaching job before the Jets hired a new head coach? The Jets fired Eric Mangini 11 days ago. 11 days and yet he already has a head coaching job. Meanwhile the Jets continue to interview uninspiring head coach candidates. Ron Meeks? The Colts defense is never good. Coach Jags? Come on. Brian Schottenheimer? Did you watch any Jet games and notice the play calling? Because it was terrible. Bill Callahan? Seriously? Ya I'm not really pleased with the Jets coaching search thus far.

Back to Mangini. I made the point when he was fired that he was truly just the scapegoat in the Jets collapse and not the main factor, that was Favre of course. I think this hire for the Browns is actually a decent one. You get an incredibly young coach that has three years of experience under his belt who is highly motivated and a workaholic. And I'd imagine his boring press conferences and boring personalities will fit in perfectly in Cleveland. I'd be pleased as a Brown's fan that he is bringing in Rob Ryan to coach his defense as Ryan hasn't gotten the pathetic Raiders team to play good defense the past few seasons. What I would be worried about is him bringing Brian Daboll the Jets QB Coach in as his offensive coordinator, not really sure what he did to warrant that job. It certainly wasn't turning Kellen Clemens into a good coach.

Overall, this story just seems like an odd one. 11 days ago you would have imagined Mangini would have gotten a D-Coordinators job and yet he was the first coach to fill out a head coaching opening. The World is a funny place sometimes.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
