I guess at this point, I'd rather take a chance on that, than a guy who has already had four years to show he has no idea what he's doing.
So? At least there's some hope of improvement, if not getting it right, with someone new. With Mac, there's no hope.
What do you get when you don’t draft well and sign the wrong free agents for 9 years straight? The New York fucking Jets. Clean house and bring in people who will set the QB up to lead this team to a Super Bowl. As in incoming coach/GM, it doesn’t get much better then a potential FQB in year 2, high draft picks, and a massive war chest ready to go. Now is the time.
He's better than Mac, but I worry the team he put together was fool's gold. They went 12-4 at their best but it was misleading, they were only 11th in point differential and they were much worse the next year.
Eliot Wolf remains my top choice if Macc gets fired. I don't view his not getting the Green Bay job as a red flag. He is highly regarded around the NFL and has been a candidate for many GM positions.
And if we do at least we tried to get it right. We know this clown will fail time after time and having $120MM once they cut the dead wood and a high draft pick to parlay into more picks and a QB that could be special with the right coaching staff is a dream for the right GM.
Totally agree and let him bring in a young dynamic offensive minded head coach like Lincoln Riley and a seasoned defensive coordinator with no ambitions to be a HC.
You may not have meant this the way it comes across but the only coach that needs to be hired by management is the head coach. He then gets to put his mark on the team and accept responsibility for every single move he makes with his staff whether it's keeping or bringing new ones in. Management needs to give him 100% control not force him to use someone he hasn't endorsed completely. At the end of his changing the mix, he owns the batter and how the cake comes out of the oven is all on him.
I strongly disagree with this. With the Jets being such a young team with little or no discipline, they desperately need an experienced HC that will command respect from day one. They don't need some guy who isn't much older than them who has to learn how to be a HC on the job. We've been there, done that a gazillion times. No thanks! But if the best we can do is to hire a novice HC who has an offensive background, then I agree that we need an experienced DC. I'm not sure that you'd really want a DC who had no higher ambitions. Most of the better ones want to be a HC or have been a HC. I think the only way you'd get a good DC who didn't have any ambitions to be a HC would be someone like Dom Capers or Bum Phillips's son, who have been HCs before but failed. Even they may want another shot at it, but if not, it may be because they're getting to the point of being too old. Something to think about is that in the event that the young HC bombs, an experienced DC who has been a HC could serve as an interim HC.
Mac/Bowles F&c@ them and the horse they rode in on Go collect Unemployment and then put in an application with the Cleveland Gladiators ...they need some management by 2020
Macc isn't going anywhere. He will hire the next head coach and have 3-4 years to build a winner. The writing is on the wall.
If Mac were to get fired, I'd definitely want Reggie McKenzie to get an interview. He gave them Mack, Carr, Cooper and some of their core players (that Chucky is dismantling).
