Eric Mangini regularly gives Dolphins owner Stephen Ross advice, but the former Jets coach is not in line to take over that team, the Miami Herald reports.
The newspaper reports that multiple sources say Mangini, now an ESPN analyst, and Ross talk “on a fairly regular basis to get his opinion of the Dolphins.”
“Apparently Mangini tells Ross what he thinks of various areas, including coaching,” the report says. “This is interesting considering Mangini is not ever around the team to find out what game plans are, what injury concerns the team is nursing and other factors critical to decisions made on and off the field.”
