Cleveland Browns reach contract terms with Eric Mangini as head coach

Tom Hauck/Getty ImagesA former ball boy with the Browns who has stated he still has emotional ties to Cleveland, Eric Mangini will become the franchise's 12th full-time head coach following a press conference on Thursday.
CLEVELAND --- The 12th full-time Browns coach is a former team ball boy whose second job with the franchise was fetching food for the media at lunchtime. Only time will tell if he has critics eating out of his hand again with wins on the field.
The Browns will announce Eric Mangini as Romeo Crennel's successor at a news conference Thursday morning.
Amid growing reports that Mangini already was formulating his coaching staff, the club confirmed that an agreement was reached with the fired New York Jets coach on Wednesday.
Mangini, who turns 38 on Jan. 19, was the first of four candidates interviewed by owner Randy Lerner to replace Crennel. He was fired on Dec. 29, the day after the Jets lost their final game and were eliminated from the AFC playoffs.
They were in first place at 8-3 after defeating division superpower and arch rival New England on Nov. 13, then lost four of their last five to fall to third. The Jets were 23-26 in Mangini's three years as coach, twice finishing with a winning record.

Lerner was informed of Mangini's firing during a sit-down with Cleveland reporters. His eyes lit up at the news and he almost immediately made arrangements to meet with Mangini the next day. Lerner was so impressed that he never wavered from Mangini as his first choice.
In fact, Lerner effectively chose Mangini to head his football reorganization ahead of GM candidate Scott Pioli of the New England Patriots.
