Mangini Expects To Meet With Holmgren Monday

Oct 31, 2014 1:29 PM

Eric Mangini expects to meet with Browns president Mike Holmgren on Monday to discuss his future. Cleveland will face Pittsburgh in their season finale on Sunday. "That's my anticipation," Mangini said. Mangini admitted that even his six-year-old son is getting anxious about what might happen with his dad's job. "He asked if we were moving," said Mangini. "I said, 'don't worry about it Jake, we'll figure it out.' So when you get those type of questions ... you don't think 'okay, how am I going to explain the situation to my six-year old?' That's part of the human element."

Wallace: Holmgren Wants To Coach Browns

May 29, 2014 12:30 AM

Mike Holmgren showed up at Cleveland's practice earlier this week and quarterback Seneca Wallace believes that the team president wants to coach the club. Wallace played for Holmgren in Seattle as well. "I kind of do just because things probably haven't turned out the way he wanted on offense and being an offensive guy, I think he still has that itch to come back to coach," Wallace said. "But at the end of the day, he's going to make the right decision for the rest of the team." Eric Mangini, given one reprieve by Holmgren last January, may not get a second as the Browns stagger to the finish of another disappointing season.

Wallace Won't Forgive Browns For Passing On Him

Oct 13, 2014 1:29 AM

Pittsburgh's Mike Wallace remembers the 2009 NFL Draft every time he faces the Cleveland Browns. Wallace, who was drafted in the third round, was passed on by the Browns in favor of Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi. "I take it real personal every time I go out there on the field," Wallace said on a conference call with the Cleveland media. "I just try to make everybody pay for looking over me. ...I guess I just didn't really get much hype coming into the draft." Wallace is happy playing for the Steelers. "I?m playing for the best team in America," Wallace said proudly. "I'm playing in the best organization, a real loyal organization where things are ran real smooth over here. I wouldn't trade it for any team."

Players Support Mangini's Return In 2011

Jul 6, 2014 12:52 PM

Eric Mangini may be in his final days with the Browns, but his players hope president Mike Holmgren decides to retain the coach. "I have the utmost respect for him," cornerback Sheldon Brown said. "I can't say anything negative about him. You may find someone else, but I can't. He's treated me like a man from day one." "I love Mangini," fullback Lawrence Vickers said. "He's a good guy, so I want him back. If not, I can't do nothing about it. Like he tells us, life goes on." Holmgren hasn't spoken to the media since Nov. 2, when he said he would wait until after the season before making any decision on Mangini. "He has all the intangibles," Brown added. "He learned from one of the best [Bill Belichick]. Obviously he knows the plan. For us, it's just going out and executing the plan. It's not his fault when we give up touchdown passes. It's not his fault when we throw interceptions. It's not his fault when we fumble. The players control that."
