"On Jan. 17, 2006, Mangini was named the Jets’ 14th full-time head coach. Mangini joins the Jets following six seasons with the New England Patriots, the first of five which he served as the team’s defensive backs coach. He was promoted to defensive coordinator last offseason after Romeo Crennel took the head coaching position in Cleveland. The Patriots played great defense down the stretch in ’05, including a three-game December stretch when they held the Jets, the Bills, and the Buccaneers to just 10 points combined.
The 34-year old Mangini is no stranger to the Jets. He worked as their defensive assistant/quality control coach from 1997-99. That talented Bill Parcells’ coaching staff also included Bill Belilchick who was the Jets’ assistant head coach/secondary coach.
In 1999, the Jets defense ranked third in the AFC with 24 interceptions, the team’s highest total since 1969 (29). The defensive backs recorded 18 of those 24 interceptions. In 1998, the Jets defense surrendered just 16.6 points per game, ranking third in franchise history and helping the Jets to a 12-4 overall record and their first division title.
This will be Mangini’s first season as a head coach, but 12th season coaching in the NFL. In Mangini’s short career, he has already been a part of five division winners and three Super Bowl champions."
