The fact that Eric Mangini took this team to the playoffs after a 10-6 (62.5%) season proves that he’s a great coach, but, he did that with a last place schedule.  We’ll see if he can do that again next season when the slate will be much tougher for him to navigate.  Mangini benefitted from Chad Pennington’s return and the emergence of Jerricho Cotchery in the offense.  The Jets will no doubt be looking to draft a running back or sign one as a free-agent.  For now though, Mangini has earned all the credit that he’s been getting.
