Mangini should no longer be the head coach, but he got us to where we needed to be. He set this team up for a guy like Ryan to come in a finish the job. Mangini will be a great head coach in the future. Trust that. Totally agree with everything Addage just said.

It would be interesting to have a side conversation with him. Mangini is a good coach and over time will get better. Last season the Jets didn't reach their potential, especially the defense. They won some big games and lost some "should win"s. Mangini was let go. Ryan comes in and its a breath of fresh air. The players genuinely seem to like Ryan and he may well be a better D coach than Eric. While I'm an optimist, the Jets have yet to play a game. Liking Ryan is not disliking Mangini. The Press disliked Mangini because he was secretive. Hurt their business. So they stick the knife in when they can. Ryan's turn will come. It's in the nature of a piranha. There would be no Devito, Murrell or Trusnik without Eric. Remember Cotch on the sidelines. It was Eric who got him on the field. He did an excellent job with Kris Jenkins last off season--helping him change is attitudes and approach to the game. I think the Jets did the right thing bringing in Ryan. But I'm pretty sure that Eric will be an excellent headcoach down the road. He may have made a mistake going to the Browns immediately. I think he could have used some time to rethink some of his approaches, but that's life. No one turns down an opportunity to coach if its reasonable. And remember, Eric now has Ryan-2 as his DC, not Sutton. Bubby’s point about Bob Sutton is a good one. It would be interesting to have a side conversation with him.

With all the new-found confidence and openly verbalized bravado from Jets players, I wonder what Bob Sutton has to say about last years regime and Rex Ryan's approach. Personally, i thought he should've been canned after last year, but since he is still here, I'd be curious if he is "drinking the green kool-aid" too ,or is he taking the latest comments from DeVito, Lowery, Rhodes, etc. as a slap in the face?

But I take what these guys are saying about how much better this camp is very lightly. I loved that Mangini pushed the players and made camp hard. I though he should be fired but commnets like this happensevery time a new coach comes in... I LOVE Rex and wanted him hired but they said the same things about W Phillips in Dallas after Parcells left. I think Rex is the right man for this team but I ignore what every player says at this point. They all are drinking the Kool-Aid right now. I like Devito and love seeing him play hard every down.
