Browns coach Mangini not surprised by Favre’s comeback

Eric Mangini coached Brett Favre last season with the New York Jets before going to the Cleveland Browns, so he thought he knows Favre will enough not to be surprised by his comeback.


“Brett’s a Hall of Fame player, a great guy, a fierce competitor and like I told him a long time ago, whatever decision he makes, he’ll make right,” Mangini said. “He’s a fun guy to coach, a fun guy to have as a teammate and I feel like I’m a better coach from the experience of being with him.”

Despite the fact that the Browns will play against Favre and the Vikings on Sept. 13, Mangini still considers himself a Favre fan. He said that the game between Cleveland and the Minnesota will “make for good TV.”
