I heard this earlier and its true, what respectable head coach candidate would come to this team? The Seattle DC had people lining up for him last off season but that was all negated because of their deep run. Picking a head coach who is a coordinator is obviously somewhat of a crap shoot, but why would any top candidate come here rather somewhere else? Jobs are going to open up, im not sure where, but they are going to open up. Atlanta perhaps? It needs to end, the general manager we have now was not even our top candidate, he took the job under circumstances that the others would not accept. Why? because he couldn't get a GM job elsewhere but this was his once in a lifetime chance so he accepted the conditions (who can blame him, there only 32 positions in the entire world). I just dont see how any top canidate could view this as a desirable location, the general manager is under fire already and has refused to spend, we dont have a QB, we are devoid of talent. Who is to say Idzik spends the cash? Why would you want to tie yourself to Idzik?.......we are going to end up with a coach that is less qualified than the others that are out there. Bottom line is this whole cycle has to end, before Woody Johnson falls in love with our next head coach, proceeds to fire Idzik in 2015 or 2016, and then retains the head coach...... (could you imagine?)
Cap space, top draft pick, favorable division, good location, and bringing the jets to relevance would make the man an absolute legend. There are more than 1 good reasons.
You forgot to menton working with a GM who has shown nothing in regards to draft picking, free agency signings, and just building a team in general, and of course the the fact that half of NY once the GM out already, so the coach would get cleaned out to if that went down. (unless Woody falls in love)
I think it's a huge feather in your cap if you come to a team that is struggling and get them to play at a higher level and make the play offs. That's the stuff of legends.
Why? Because there are only 32 of these gigs in the NFL and only a handful of them open up each year.
Again though, if you come here you are tying your hands to Idzik who is under heavy fire already and has proven nothing. I understand the money aspect of coming here, someone will come here, but would it be our top candidate? not sure. Its still early though so it obviously is going to depend on what jobs open up. Atlanta? Miami?
Dead wrong huh? thats why the Broncos OC shot down every offer last season right? He didnt take the Browns job, he could have, but I guess money talks right? Clearly it didnt.
There are plenty of great candidates in the NFL as well as NCAAF. It's up to Idzik and Woody to find a good one. But I think like everyone else does he'll pick one of the Seahawks coordinators. Who knows maybe a guy like Mike Tomlin will be available.
I thought money talks? I guess it doesnt, Gase didnt want to tie himself to a franchise that is shaky, the Jets are just as shaky lately so I doubt he would come here either. Its not all about the money, Gase and Seattles DC know they can get any open job they want, so why would they take a team that has a shaky GM, awful owner, and just a mess? Not going to happen.
I think that stuff is overblown. Everyone says the Redskins owner is a nut job but he still got a very respectable coach in Mike Shannahan to come coach for him. Under the right terms/money a HC will come here.
Who do you go to, Jets or Browns? Jets have a better future than the Browns. Browns draft 28 year old rookie QBs and take shit RBs with top 3 picks. THAT team is shaky
You think the perception around the league is that this is a positive place to come to? plenty of money to spend, probably a great draft pick, but John Idzik. If we fire Idzik, I believe we can get a better GM and almost any head coach candidate in here. Again tying yourself to John Idzik is basically suicide, he hasnt proven anything, cant field a team, restrains money spent, has not drafted well, no QB. To me its a perfect time to start this whole thing over.
32 positions in the entire world?More like the entire league.I felt like I was reading a 5 year old childs letter to Woody Johnson reading this on how to fix the team.
