The idea of Mangini hiring his own GM is just flat out dumb and ass backwards. Who hires their boss?

The owner of the Browns is to blame for all of this.

Well, at least the Browns fans know the team sucks intstead of constantly being on a roller coaster of one good year, one bad, or worse three great games, three horrible.

The uncertaintly here is pure torture at times, my knees are killing me from jumping on and off the band wagon and my hemmorhoids hurting do to all the bumps in the road.

Maybe they realized that the Jets stolea franchise QB (which they don’t have) and a elite beast of a WR for a bag of peanuts.

Mangini gone, if not at the end of this year, by week 8 next season. Sorry Hank, but…FAIL.

AABrooklyn:

Absolutely, everyhting you say is true. But, it seems that the fans have embraced a losers culture and LOVE to take out their frustration on everything Browns.

And like I said, how would you explain the Media
b(a)tshing and moaning about every single move Lerner, Kokinis or Mangini made even before the pads were on !!

I would like to know where in Kokinis history (the last 18 with the Ravens) did he deserve all the Media and fans bashing from the time he was hired? !!!!

The only answer is that they hate him simply because of his association with Mangini

Would tend to agree that this stuff is not JETS related anymore.

hank the cleveland browns and their fans have struggled mightily long before 1999. i’m not up on my cleveland browns history but i would venture to say browns fans have been disappointed by their team ever since jim brown retired. they stunk in the 70s, had some mild success in the 80s but of course will live in infamy for those playoff losses to denver, couldn’t do much of anything in the 90s. then of course the biggest insult any fan can receive, the owner moves the team and they don’t even have a franchise for a while. As if it couldn’t get any worse the franchise that used to be the cleveland browns goes on to win a super bowl under the leadership of one of its former great players (ozzie newsome). There are many putrid franchises in the nfl (probably none lower than the detroit lions) but the cleveland browns have broken the hearts of their fans in every way possible, looking at all of this it actually makes me feel good to be a jet fan despite all the heartache and suffering since joe namath (which i wasn’t even lucky enough to be born yet i had to grow up in the todd/o’brien years)

Of course, in Mangini’s case, ” the long term” means something around… Week 14.
