That fanbase was completely in love with Mangini in his first season just like they are with Ryan.

What the hell did Rex do wrong in those three games? You still haven't told me how any of them were his fault. Way to use the "9-7 to 9-7" BS like Rex was the only changing variable. As bad as Favre was down the stretch, we had a legitimate pass attack at one point, which we never had this year. Mangini's improvement in '06 was largely because they actually brought in halfway competent O-Linemen and the entire team wasn't on IR like it was in '05. Besides, if a 6-game improvement is the gauge for first-year success, Rex would've had to go 15-1 to satisfy your criteria. And no, you're wrong. We were happy with Mangini's early success, but he didn't involve the fans like Rex has, and didn't build the badass defense Rex has. I was there. The fans like Rex more, and rightfully so.
