Mangenius Safe No Matter What
NY Daily News:
"Chad Pennington is not going anywhere this season. The Jets will not trade him. And Eric Mangini and Mike Tannenbaum aren't going anywhere next y
ear even if the Jets follow last year's dreadful season with another one just as bad.
Even though he has a chance to win back the job he lost to Kellen Clemens last season, a source told the Daily News Sunday that at the scouting combine in Indianapolis last month, Pennington's agent and Tannenbaum, the Jets' GM, had one conversation about whether the Jets would trade him.
Tannenbaum's answer: No."
Who wouldn't want to have Mangini around or Pennington as a backup? Pennington is the ideal backup, veteran who can come in and make short, crisp passes taking you down the field. Was Mangini not the coach who recently lead a Jets team who everyone thought would suck to the playoffs? I know Jets fans who said they would have been happy with 5 wins that season and Mangini earned his nickname taking that team to the playoffs. Jets should see some improvement going AT LEAST 6 - 10 possibly 8 - 8.
