Jimmie Johnson will coach tight ends, Daylon McCutcheon will assist with the defensive backs, and Ryan Slowik will assist with the defensive line and be a defensive quality control coach. The Jets have not officially named a cornerbacks coach, but they now have two coaches working with defensive backs: McCutcheon, who is a former NFL cornerback, and Joe Danna, whose title is "defensive backs/safeties." All of their other positions are now covered with assistant coaches. After the addition of three coaches Tuesday, the only positions left without coaches were tight ends and cornerbacks. In the announcement about Johnson, McCutcheon and Slowik, the Jets did not specifically state whether Bowles is finished hiring assistants. But he could be. Here is a rundown of the three latest hires: • Johnson was Minnesota's tight ends coach from 2006-13. He was out of coaching last season. Johnson was previously the offensive coordinator at Texas Southern and Division II Shaw University. Johnson played 10 seasons in the NFL as a blocking tight end (1989-98). He began his career playing for Washington, from 1989-91, where he and Bowles overlapped as teammates for two seasons. • McCutcheon knows Bowles from a couple previous stops. McCutcheon was a training camp coaching intern in Arizona last year, when Bowles was the Cardinals' defensive coordinator. He was previously a high school defensive coordinator since 2007. In 2013, he was a training camp coaching intern with the Jets. McCutcheon started at cornerback for the Browns from 1999-2005. Bowles was his position coach from 2001-04. So McCutcheon knows a thing or two about playing corner in the NFL. The Jets' cornerback position needs all the help it can get. • Slowik was the assistant defensive backs coach with the Cardinals for the past two seasons, under Bowles. He was previously their outside linebackers coach (2012) and defensive quality control assistant (2009-11). He was with the Broncos from 2005-08, as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and defensive backs assistant. Here's an updated look at the Jets' coaching staff: • Offensive coordinator: Chan Gailey • Defensive coordinator: Kacy Rodgers • Special teams coordinator: Bobby April • Wide receivers: Karl Dorrell • Quarterbacks: Kevin Patullo • Offensive line: Steve Marshall • Tight ends: Jimmie Johnson • Running backs: Marcel Shipp • Offensive quality control: Robby Brown • Inside linebackers: Mike Caldwell • Outside linebackers: Mark Collins • Defensive backs/safeties: Joe Danna • Defensive backs assistant: Daylon McCutcheon • Defensive line: Pepper Johnson • Defensive line assistant/defensive quality control: Ryan Slowik Slater needs to proof read his columns before they're printed. He says the only positions where Bowles hasn't named coaches are Tight Ends and Cornerbacks, then goes on to list two Danna and McCutcheon, and Jimmie Johnson as Tight Ends Coach. Granted that Danna is listed as DBs/Safeties and McCutcheon is listed as an assistant DBs coach, but still. Johnson is clearly listed as TEs coach.
Serious question.. Why are we hiring a WR coach as our QB coach? Of all the position coaches that holds the most important weight for our near future, I would argue you it be the QB coach position. With that said... Again.. Why did Bowles bring in a WR coach from the Titans? Makes no sense to me.
Look at the careers of many current OCs. Lots of them start as WRs coaches or even RB coaches and "move up" to QB coaches before becoming OCs. It's like a hierarchy. Ideally we should have found someone with actual expertise in the Qb position, but luckily Chan will help us in that regard.
Right.. I understand that. I just think with the situation we are in, we really needed someone of quality, coaching up the QB room. Just my view from afar though.
Look no further than Chan Gailey. He has made many sub-par Qbs look half-decent. From Mike Tomczak to Kordell Stewart to Ryan Fitzpatrick. And with team, success too (especially on the Steelers).
Watching the first half of the SB, I'm thankful that our new HC is NOT Darrell Bevell. He's calling plays like he wants to lose the game, always running on 1st down & having to pass on 3rd down. He hasn't done anything to help Russell Wilson get in a groove and get some momentum. Quinn hasn't looked very impressive, either. The Pats' DC (last name Patricia) meanwhile, is looking he will be a hot candidate next year.
True. The offense hasn't helped the D. Bevell should get fired after this game. If they lose, it's on his play calling. The officiating, as usual, has been very one-sided in the Pats favor. That hasn't helped.
You're right. That has to be one of the dumbest calls in NFL history and that's no hyperbole. If I'm Pete Carroll, I wouldn't even let him come in the locker room. I tell him he's done and to get out of my sight before I rip his head off.
It ultimately comes down to Pete Carroll, though. You think Bevell would have run that play without Carroll knowing it? Terrible call. Even worse execution. Ugh. I can't wait till Belichick and Brady retire.
You're right, but Bevell should have never even suggested it. His playcalling sucked the entire game.
http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2015/02/jets_todd_bowles_finalizes_coaching_staff_by_addin.html Jets' Todd Bowles finalizes coaching staff by adding John Scott Jr. as quality control assistant By Darryl Slater | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Follow on Twitter on February 11, 2015 at 3:50 PM, updated February 11, 2015 at 4:06 PM The Jets on Wednesday announced that they have hired John Scott Jr. as a defensive quality control coach. The team also announced that new head coach Todd Bowles had "rounded out his Jets coaching staff" with the hiring of Scott. The Jets later specifically announced that Bowles was done hiring assistants. Bowles had previously hired Ryan Slowik, and gave him the title of defensive line assistant and defensive quality control coach. Robby Brown is the Jets' offensive quality control coach. In the Jets' latest list of their coaches, Slowik does not have the title of defensive quality control coach, just defensive line assistant. Scott had just been named the University of Buffalo's defensive line coach last month. Before that, he was the defensive line coach at Texas Tech for two seasons. Scott resigned from Texas Tech in December for undisclosed reasons. It was a tumultuous 2014 season for Texas Tech's defensive staff. Defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt resigned in September "amid allegations he was under the influence of an unknown substance at the team's athletic facility," according to The Dallas Morning News. Scott's earlier stops include four seasons as Missouri State's outside linebackers coach and three seasons as Georgia Southern's defensive line and special teams coach. At Georgia Southern in 2006, Scott worked alongside Mark Collins and Joe Danna. Collins is now the Jets' outside linebackers coach and Danna is their defensive backs coach. Scott is a 2000 graduate of Western Carolina. Here is Bowles' complete new coaching staff: • Offensive coordinator: Chan Gailey • Defensive coordinator: Kacy Rodgers • Special teams coordinator: Bobby April • Special teams assistant: Steve Hagen • Wide receivers: Karl Dorrell • Quarterbacks: Kevin Patullo • Offensive line: Steve Marshall • Offensive line assistant: Ron Heller • Tight ends: Jimmie Johnson • Running backs: Marcel Shipp • Offensive quality control: Robby Brown • Inside linebackers: Mike Caldwell • Outside linebackers: Mark Collins • Defensive backs/safeties: Joe Danna • Defensive backs assistant: Daylon McCutcheon • Defensive line: Pepper Johnson • Defensive line assistant: Ryan Slowik • Defensive quality control: John Scott Jr.
Except of course for the infamous set of plays where he should have run on the early downs and called that awful play on the goal line. In Bowles I trust. I think we made the right choice. Quiet but effective.
