09:21 AM ET 08.01 | Because Mike Holmgren admitted he'll feel "antsy" not coaching this season, some assume that means he can't wait to take over with the Browns. But the team president was simply telling the truth at his recent news conference -- he is a career coach, and part of him will miss it. That doesn't mean he's waiting for coach Eric Mangini to fail. If Holmgren truly wanted to coach this season, he could have had the job.

Is the cast some sort of strengthening device for when he kicks Mangini's **** out of town?

He's "antsy"? Look at him. Get a Hoveround, Mike. "At little or no cost to you". Of course, others pay for it. But you don't know us, so what the hey?

Agreed. No way he wants his name associated with whatever record the Browns end up getting. Mangini will take the fall.

No need to wait, Eric has already done that for him.

It doesn't mean he's waiting for the sun to come up every morning. But, that will happen, too.

Trainwreck?? The Browns were a trainwreck before Mangini came to town and now they are building a winning team. They had problems from payroll to prima donna's and they played weak, mistake prone football.
He has cleaned up their payroll, brough in players who fit his system and should improve on last years wins. They have a tough, scratch that, very tough schedule and he will have them playing hard every game.
I think they will be a playoff team within the next two years, similar to what he did with the Jets. Look at last year and you will see a team that he put together that only lacked solid QB play. I can't blame him riding Farve down the stretch because we all know that he is a HOF'er who has streaks of brillance.

You guys need to get a life on a nice Sunday morning and worry about your own teams. Especially if your a pot smoking Phish fan.

Most of you guys crack me up. You expect Mangini to win in his first season with a disfunctional team he inherited from Crennel. It seems to me that the majority of you guys don't understand how a football team works. In order for it to get better it takes time it doesn't just happen over one off season. Mangini did his best last season. Remember he started with a team full of primadonnas and lazy players. This whole tough guy approach he had last season was to instill a better work ethic. Holmgren will let him do his thing this season, if he doesn't improve the team by acceptable means then yes he will be out. Not before he gets his shot to prove it though. You guys are so into instant success you forgot how a good teams comes into being. The Colts didn't become great over night. The Saints didn't either. Neither did the Ravens. It just seems you guys like to dump on the teams near the bottom of the pile because its easy to root for a winner.

Also The Browns have had terrible front office people since they came back into the league. With Holmgren we now have a proven winner. It has been proven it takes around 3 seasons to know how well a team will be with a new coach and new style.

"If Holmgren truly wanted to coach this season, he could have had the job."
And, because he's 'antsy,' any excuse will do to get himself back behind the bench.

At least he didn't call him "Mangina" like the Canuck guy and every other funny guy on this site.

That might be enough of an excuse for Holmgren to fire him and name himself coach.

Mangini's record as a head coach is 23-25 in three seasons with the Jets and 5-11 in his one season with Cleveland. Now what is your opening bid for that bridge?
