IT IS NOW OFFICIAL

Michael Holley of radio station WEEI in Boston is reporting that the Browns will name Eric Mangini, formerly of the Jets, as the organization's new head coach by the end of the week.

Holley, a former Akron Beacon Journal reporter, is the author of Patriot Reign: Bill Belichick, the Coaches, and the Players Who Built a Champion, so he has a lot of connections to members of the Belichick coaching tree, which includes Mangini.

With the Jets, Mangini had a 23-25 record and went 9-7 this season. New York got off to an 8-3 start in 2008 before faltering down the stretch and missing the playoffs.

Listen to the radio report. Holley's mention of this news item begins at the 11-minute mark.
