Eric Mangini Weighs in on the Browns
Defensive coordinator Eric Mangini will be one of a few 49ers personnel reuniting with his former team this Sunday.
Mangini served as the Browns head coach from 2009 through 2010. Cleveland posted 5-11 records in both seasons.
“I love Cleveland,” Mangini said via Tyler Emerick of 49ers.com. “It gets a bad rap. I thought it was a great, great place to live and a great place to raise a family. I loved the people that we met there.
“My biggest disappointment was not being able to produce the winner that they deserve there.”
