Cleveland Browns - Eric Mangini Denver Broncos - Josh McDaniels Detroit Lions - Jim Schwartz Indianapolis Colts - Jim Caldwell Kansas City Chiefs - Todd Haley New York Jets - Rex Ryan St. Louis Rams - Steve Spagnuolo Seattle Seahawks - Jim Mora, JR. Tampa Bay Bucs - Raheem Morris
Mangini...and why? for no other reason than the fact that he is an ex-Jet...based on that, and that alone, the Browns will make it to the playoffs
I would say Jim Caldwell. He's coming into the best situation and should win the most games this season.
At the moment the early favorite is Caldwell considering that he basically has a championship roster already
Unless Peyton Manning has a season-ending injury before November or December, Caldwell is the obvious choice.
I agree that Caldwell is probably the easiest and most logical choice. However, Haley is in a very weak division and has some good young talent to work with on offense. Of course, this will all depend on Cassel not being a flash in the pan. The majority of teams on this list are in need of defensive upgrades, with the Jets making the biggest strides in this area. I do believe though, the Jets are lacking in the offensive area compared to the others. If Lj plays to his capability and the young corners for KC continue to improve, Haley could be the guy. I am not voting for Rex, as that seems to be a conflict of interest.
You shouldn't have added Ryan to the list. It's obvious he is the answer on a Jets board! I'm just interested to see the battle for #2. edit: forgot about Caldwell. He shouldn't be allowed either. But hey not my poll.
