Did you notice that Eric Mangini took no time to name Derek Anderson as his starting QB this week? In week 1 he waited until about 90 minutes before kickoff to officially name Quinn his starter. It was stupid at the time, and it looks like really stupid in retrospect, seeing how badly the Browns have struggled offensively.
I would love to know what Mangini accomplished to garner a 2nd head coaching gig in such a short time. He made the playoffs once out of three years (and that one playoff appearance was a quick exit), and the Jets completely collapsed last season. Yet the Browns couldn't hire him fast enough. Now they can't fire him fast enough; he's my choice for worst coach in the NFL. Watch the Browns sometime and you'll understand. I'm pretty sure I could coach the Browns and they wouldn't be a whole lot worse than they already are. Hyperbole maybe, but what's the worst that would happen with me coaching, they lose 50-0? They're already getting their asses kicked, and have scored one (meaningless) offensive TD all season. They do nothing, and I mean nothing well.
I probably write about the Browns too much, but their incompetence just amazes me. This is a team that came back into the NFL in 1999, and they aren't any further ahead now than they were as an expansion team. They had an entire offseason to:
a) find a QB (you see Eric, if you don't like the ones on your roster, you find one you do like) and
b) add some receiving options and pass rushers, areas where they were deficient last season
They did none of that. They fired Romeo Crennel, a disaster as a head coach, and somehow didn't get better. Their passing game sucked a year ago, and somehow they got worse (actually not somehow; they traded Kellen Winslow and replaced him with roughly no one). This stuff fascinates me. This is a billion dollar franchise being run worse than a local drive-in.
