Eric Mangini has been in Robert Saleh’s chair. Literally.
Mangini was the Jets head coach when the team moved into its Florham Park headquarters and was the first occupant of the coach’s first-floor office there. Mangini also has had to make some tough decisions about his starting quarterback as a head coach, both with the Jets and then with the Browns.
“I don’t envy Robert at all,” Mangini, now an analyst for FS1, said Tuesday. “It’s a hard thing to do. It’s hard in any market. It’s really hard in the New York market.”
Saleh must decide whether to stick with Zach Wilson as his starting quarterback or switch to either Mike White or Joe Flacco. Mangini believes Saleh should make a switch, but knows as well as anyone how hard it is to make a change at quarterback.
