Jets New Coach
After conducting their eighth and final interview, a seven-hour meeting with former Vikings coach Mike Tice yesterday, the Jets moved quickly to secure Mangini, who turns 35 on Thursday. Upon wrapping up Tice’s interview at 4 p.m., GM Terry Bradway and assistant GM Mike Tannenbaum contacted owner Woody Johnson via conference call and the troika decided to make an offer to Mangini, a source said.
Mangini will be the youngest current head coach in the NFL, beating the Bucs’ Jon Gruden by seven years. Mangini, who was making about $800,000 as a rookie coordinator, is expected to get at least a four-year contract worth more than $2 million annually. Edwards made $1.8 million in his final season. - New York Daily News
