Eric Mangini Jets Coach Fired 12/29/08

Today, 12/29/08, The New York Jets have parted with their coach Eric Mangini. The recent Jets coach was a former New England Patriots defensive coordinator and was the leagues youngest head coach at age 37.

Mangini was named head coach of the New York Jets on Jan 17, 2006. His final record as a Jet comes in at 23-25....a losing record. He had one post season appearance in which he lost.

I am sure the Detriot Lions are looking at this situation closely!
