Looks LIke This is It
The Jets hired Eric Mangini to be their new head coach yesterday. Base10 is a little surprised that the Jets would make such a bold move. Mangini, the former defensive coordinator in New England, is now the youngest head coach in the NFL. Base10 is intrigued by Mangini. Aside from the obvious help he will be when we play New England, it's nice to see the Jets willing to take a flyer on a young and presumably creative head coach that is willing to try new things. But Jet fans, make no mistake. We will be travelling through the desert for a year or two at least before we hit the playoffs again. This is a new coach who will likely hire new coordinators and will almost certainly clean house and cap space this year. Base10 agrees with this approach of taking all your medicine at once, but expect a San Francisco-like year next year. More on this later.
