It's the whole Parcell's tree of coaching connection via Bill Belichick.

Mangini was the DB coach in New England when Crennel was the DC and Belichick the HC when they won three Super Bowl titles, so they have a shared history.

Mangini didn't do himself any favors with the stints he had with the Jets and the Browns, so maybe this would be a nice stepping stone for him to get back into the game and have very little risk as the spotlight would be on Crennel.
