Eric Mangini won't be granted a third season as Cleveland's coach. Given a second chance last year by Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren to improve, Mangini was fired Monday following a second straight 5-11 season and one day after a humiliating home loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Holmgren, who spent several days mulling Mangini's future after last season, wasted no time and dismissed him during a morning meeting. Mangini went just 10-22 with the Browns and finished his second season with a four-game losing streak. Cleveland went 2-6 following an upset of NFL heavyweight New England on Nov. 7 -- a victory that seemed like a turning point. Instead, it only triggered a slide. Mangini's ouster with two years and nearly $8 million left on his contract seemed set long before Sunday's embarrassing 41-9 loss, but the rout certainly didn't help his cause with Holmgren, the Super Bowl-winning coach who may return to the sideline. read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5984058
