I think the only way Woody will even consider firing him is if the Bills somehow magically beat New England and Mangini is then completely out coached by Sparano and Chad is touted as a hero throughout the entire NFL. That first part will never happen though. I just pray we do not go after Cassel this offseason and stop trying to fucking copy the Patriots blueprint with this pussy at the helm.
My gut tells me Mangini is gone. I don't think Woody got BF to sell PSLs, but I do believe he will get Cowher for that purpose. This is just not the right time, financially, for Woody to show patience with a young, struggling coach. The Jet balance books are spelling out a name and it is COWHER.
The economy will be the driving force in Woody's decisions. He wants MONEY and the fans being pissed at Mangini will NOT help with PSL sales, which aren't going well to begin with. I know I'm not buying them.
They were saying this same thing on nfl radio today. They basically said that in this economic climate, owners may make more proactive moves knowing that people are going to be tighter with their money if the product sucks. They'll obviously still sell out, but no-shows put a HUGE hit in concession money. On top of that, they are about to ask people to pony up PSL money while unemployment is at an all time high. Owners will move much quicker to give the illusion of progress...
