He'll learn from past mistakes.
Only in America....

I think that the Saints are going to hire Romeo(great hire) but Mangini would be an excellent choice. He's tremendous on ESPN for all the reasons already stated on this thread. I wish the media was more like him instead of Lomas Brown/Parker type garbage.

I agree completely. Which is the more important factor, a franchise quarterback or a decent coach ? With the way the league protects offensive players today, I would say it's more and more on the QB. It's a boring truth but how many superbowl rings would Belichick have without Brady ? I would guess one ... maybe.
Mangini was a pain in the butt to the media, fans and players but if he had the horses I have no doubt he would be a playoff contender and more.
Lets see how wonderful Rex is without a decent/healthy nose tackle, quality safeties and Pettine (who supposedly was Rex's puppet according to most - Trevor Pryce would like to differ with you on that point.)
