Mangini Practiced ‘WTF’ Look for Years
In a recent interview with brownieman.net, head coach Eric Mangini admitted that he has been practicing his patented “what the f*ck?!” facial expression since the late 1970’s. “Facial expressions are an important channel of nonverbal communication,” he said. “They provide commentary and illustration about verbal communications.” Mangini went on to say that he has been able to utilize the WTF facial expression on several occasions since joining the Cleveland Browns. “I used it when I first met Big Baby Rogers; when I read fan blogs about my draft selections; while talking to Cribbs about his brief holdout; whenever I field questions about the starting QB situation; and anytime I see Braylon let a ball bounce off his chest. It really comes in handy and communicates much more to a player than simply throwing a clipboard at him.” Mangini would neither confirm nor deny that he is working on another facial expression in preparation for training camp, but rumors continue to fly around Berea.
