After beating the Pats and the Titans, the Jets were talking contract extension. Now, they’re starting fresh. How can things have changed so much since mid-season?

“This is not a decision that we reached yesterday, or 10 minutes ago,” Johnson said. “This was a decision that was running throughout the season.”

Um, ok. Sure, Mangini has made some dumb moves, but Mike Tomlin has too and the Steelers aren’t overemphasizing his errors.
Long time swamper Grits Go Blue and I agree that it’s a headscratcher, and for us to agree on something football related, it’s just got to be true.

According to the NY Times summary, I get the impression that the players were still with Mangini. So was it a personality problem with management? Or maybe one player in particular? And why can’t Brett Favre be fired?

Who exactly do the Jets think they’re going to bring in replace Mangini? They must have one sure thing in mind or a pretty good short list, right? Right?

I mean, when Mangini came in, one of the more notable things he did was remove a good portion of what the franchise was, and import a large group of coaches and players that he was more comfortable with.

So will the Jets have to undergo this kind of change again? Will they hire Houston Nutt for $25 million a season, since the Wildcat is the NFL’s ‘newest’ ’sensation’ ?

It just makes no sense, except for the fact that these are the Jets. And they’ll likely keep chasing their tail.

The swamp has a whole Black Monday thread going already.
