BEREA, OHIO (AP) - Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini says he understands the brutal, bottom-line nature of business in the NFL, and that sometimes, change is unavoidable.
Mangini feels good about the improvement the Browns (5-8) have made this season, and said he has enjoyed his first year working with team president Mike Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert. Holmgren is waiting until after the season before he evaluates Mangini’s second season in Cleveland, and he will certainly factor in more than Cleveland’s record.
Mangini said he hasn’t been given any mandate on the number of wins he needs to keep his job. He feels the Browns have made positive steps this season but that they still need to win more consistently. On Thursday, Mangini named rookie quarterback Colt McCoy his starter for the rest of this season.
