Here is my Monday column on Eric Mangini and the 49ers.
Why exactly did the 49ers hire ESPN analyst and former NFL head coach Eric Mangini as an offensive consultant?
Conventional wisdom says Mangini will help 49ers’ offensive coordinator …
Extra Point:Not withstanding the horrific reference to a "zip drive" ... do most people even remember what that is? Probably not. That's not the point though. I don't think Mangini was hired for his past access to ESPN statistics. I think the 49ers have wrapped their head around data a long time ago - that's all Baalke all the time - but Mangini's intimate knowledge of the rest of the NFL... that's an argument I can entertain.
