Mangini Head Coach of the Browns .. back to where he started




I think this is a neat story, from ball boy to head coach, dreams do come true.

Eric Mangini was named the 12th full-time head coach in the history of the Cleveland Browns franchise on January 8, 2009.

For Mangini, it marked a return to his NFL roots, having kicked off his tenure in the league as a ball boy and an intern in the Browns’ public relations department in 1994. His tireless work ethic was just as evident in that first year as it is today, a quality that led then-head coach Bill Belichick to add Mangini to the team’s coaching staff in 1995.

In his 14 years of NFL coaching experience, Mangini has been a part of six teams that qualified for the playoffs, including five that captured division crowns and three that came away with the Lombardi Trophy as Super Bowl champions.
