Read below for reader Joshwoshybigfatposhy’s update on a recent interview he overheard with Eric Mangini. Mangini apparently talked about zone parenting, a topic on which Packergeeks wrote a few weeks back here. Begs the question: does Mangini read Packergeeks? Interesting. Also noteworthy, Mangini is apparently a big fan of the TV show the Family Guy, a show this Packergeek tries to watch regularly. (And by the way Josh, I am a fan of Mangini’s unique approach to the game, taking chances etc. Assuming he can put together a good coaching resume over the next few years, as co-GM, he would be a coach on my radar. Not sure re Brother Steve’s thoughts on him though).
Here is what Josh had to say:
I realize I’m making a habit of commenting on the ‘wrong’ post, but this time i felt it was important.
last night, driving home from work, michael kay (yankee’s announcer/radio talkshow host) was interviewing Eric Mangini, who revealed that his wife is expecting their third child a few days from now. He went on to comment that they would have to move “away from man-to-man to a more zone-based coverage.” And you know how you can tell if someone is smiling sometimes when they’re talking or singing? I could swear he was winking when he said this.
Now I know he’s a football coach, and football coach-parents have probably been using that metaphor for centuries, but still. Maybe Mangini sees the inevitable (the Hayes GM plan), and wants to coach for the Packers someday. Very calculated move there, Eric.
