Hard to call Mangini an "old retread". Unless I calculated incorrectly, he is the second youngest coach in the NFL - only Tomlin (Pitts) is younger.

Mangini had two winning seasons out of three with the Jets. It's been a while since Browns' teams have won two out of three seasons. Who was the last Redskins' coach to leave town with more winning seasons than losing seasons on his plate? I believe that would be Gibbs 1.0...

Having said that, I think the Browns jumped the gun on this hiring because there was no groundswell of interest in Mangini anywhere else in the NFL so why they didn't hold off until they had a GM under contract to be sure that the GM and Mangini were "simpatico" is a mystery to me.
