Might as well get the thread going. This last season he was under Jim Harbaugh at San Fransisco. Prior to that was HC of Cleveland and the Jets. Did pretty well with the Jets. Before the Jets, he was under Parcells and Belichick.

I would take him just because he was a once Belichcik protege on the offensive side. Must have a good mind and work ethic.

He was on The Sopranos

I remember that episode. Mangini & his wife were in Artie Bucco's restaurant and Tony & Carmela were at another table. Tony went over to say hello. Pretty uneventful if I remember correctly. Only lasted a few seconds.

Mangini would seem to have Carroll-esque re-tread potential. He should get a good college job, kick some ass and make is way back.

Guys, he was a Belichcik Wunderkind. He won with the Jets with Chad Pennington at QB (10-6). He comes from the Harbaugh and Parcells schools as well.

You can't get better qualifications in an OC, let alone a head coach. Plus, he's a relatively young guy at 43. Also said to be an authoritarian, which the offense needs because of no discipline.

Would be an excellent hire. Even Hub would like it.

thanks for this. HIRE. THIS. FUCKING. DUDE. NOW.

I think you may be on to something here, DR.

This actually sounds like a pretty good hire as an OC.

Cutler is in need of some good old school tough love. Fox & Mangini sound like the type of guys to serve it up.

Be pretty dumb to hire Mangini as Offensive Coordinator. Since, you know, he's a defensive coach. Hate to break that to all of you cuz everybody is all excited about this. He was Belicheck's defensive coordinator in New England and had other assistant defensive jobs before that.

I know Harbaugh had him as TE coach. But he has a defensive backround.

Looks like he's had more offensive experience besides under Harbaugh according to this interesting article. He knows both offense and defense.

Mangini said coaching tight ends was a “totally new world for me” but that he likes the challenge and craves being taken from his comfort zone. He also said it wasn’t the first time he switched from one side of the ball to the other.

In 1995, when Mangini was an assistant with the Browns, he first worked with the offensive line and the quarterbacks. But the head coach at the time, Bill Belichick, had Mangini and the other young coaches switch to the other side of the ball to gain perspective.

“That was something Bill Belichick always did with his younger coaches,” Mangini said. “ … So when you’re attacking the other side, you’re not saying, ‘Well, I think they’re doing this.’ You’re saying, ‘This is exactly what they’re doing. This is why they’re doing it. Here’s the weakness. So let’s attack here.’ ”

Mangini adopted the approach when he became a head coach, going so far as to have “swap days” in New York and Cleveland during spring OTA sessions. On those days, the offensive and defensive players switched sides, with the defensive backs, for example, studying the same film and receiving tutorials on the same techniques the wide receivers worked on every day.

At age 43, Mangini is the 49ers’ youngest position coach, and he is entering the final year of his two-year contract. He’s been open about wanting to be a head coach again.

Well, he's interviewing with the Raiders for their DC job.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/19/eric-mangini-set-to-interview-for-raiders-defensive-coordinator/

Nobody is interviewing him for OC. So you're the only one the world that was thinking he has OC potential.

Interesting conclusion when you couldn't possibly know what everyone in the world is thinking.

His name is in the mix, so far for DC, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be an OC when he has an offensive background as well. As I said, HE KNOWS BOTH! I want a guy like that. As an analogy, if you want to be good at chess, you should know how to play with both the white and black pieces. Belichik understands this concept.
