Yes we were. The entire population of the board was satisfied with three games offensively this year (AZ, NE, and TN). Outside of those games there were no complete start-to-finish gameplans offensively all year long. Explain to me shotgun on 3rd and short when you have TWO pro-bowlers at RB and 3/5 olinemen pro-bowlers. Run the f'n ball! Don't tell me it was Mangini's call.
I'm getting more interested in Grim now....Always liked him as a player, but haven't heard much as far as coaching ability
1 Rex Ryan 2 Ron Rivera 3 Brian Billick any number of college coaches Honestly Shott will turn my stomach and
Cowher - NO (Like Favre from GB-2007 aside, he is from a nice drinking town with a [offensive] football problem) Billick - YES; He is from a nice football town with a drinking problem (witness Kyle Boller) RYAN - MAYBE; from a nice football family with a punching problem. Maybe he can bring in Rob and Buddy and then they punch it out when things go badly confronted with the decision to kick a FG or run it in from the 2. Note about Ryan, Buddy Ryan, according to WIKI, was an assistant to W Michaels on W Ewbanks 1969 SB winner- and had a large part of credit for defending the mighty BALTIMORE COLTS - OH the Irony
When Namath guaranteed victory in SB3 it was because he knew Ryan's defensive plan and had nothing to do with what he thought his offense would do.
A new HC isn't enough for me. I want a new HC and coordinators that are the envy of other teams. Really high class guys who either were HCs ore will be HCs someday. There's an old expression that I believe in more as I get older: First rate minds surround themselves with first rate minds. Second rate minds surround themselves with third rate minds, and so on and so on. Mangini was a fourth rate mind and his coordinators were fifth raters. And just look at politicians, if the politicians is a tool his assistants are even bigger tools. Its the same throughout life. Anyway, I want a CS that blows competing staffs in the division out of the water, like, Ryan as HC, and Billick and Nolan as coordinators. Or Jags as a coordinator or Billick as HC, but I want first raters, not a place where Brian Shott is considered a genius. Shott isn't even smart enough to know having a goatee makes it look like your mouth is a twat. If he's that stupid I want him off the team.
A manager once said, my business is built on great minds, i train my staff to be better than me. I agree about needing more than a HC, i think as soon as we have a head coach in place the rest of the staff will fall into place.
I would say either Billick or Shanahan. Of the ones who've never been HC's before (and this would be the fourth in a row were the Jets to choose to go that route), it sounds like Ryan and Spags might be the better choices.
I want a coach who will be committed to the 3-4. I do not want to switch back again to the 4-3. Changing personel again would suck and hold us back! Cowher (pay the man) Grimm Paul Pasqualoni (Miami DC)
We need a defensive guy or a guy with a great track record. 1. Rex Ryan 2. Ron Rivera 3. Mike Shanahan 4. Leslie Frazier (Vikings DC) 5. Jeff Jagodzinski
