The first year of the Eric Mangini Era is winding down with just five games to go. With a record of 1-10, will this be the only year for Mangini as the Browns head coach If so, he has only himself to blame.First let me say I’m not in favor of firing coaches without given the time needed to establish their system and to collect the players for that system The situation currently in Cleveland is a different animal. The Browns organization has been in turmoil since the expansion year of 1999. Cleveland has failed to build from the top down, thus has been forced to rebuild every few years.
