Jets completed Mike McCarthy interview on 1/5-Saturday

it was reported by multiple sources that the johnsons only pay $4-5 million per year for a coach.

one article flatly stated that woody would not pay $7 million or more for harbaugh.

if you are mike mac, with GB owes you money on a contract, why would you take the jets job for less than $7 million? especially with chucky getting $10 million from the raiders!

 

Cause the Raiders are dumb and nobody's going to offer McCarthy 10 million a year.

 

If the Johnsons are unwilling to be the highest bidder for McCarthy's services then they are simply not interested in winning. Simple as that. If it's going to take 7 million then pay the man 7 million. Not the time to be cutting corners when we have a young QB and cap space

That article btw is a Manish Mehta article

 

The Jets announced the interview is over, and as of now McCarthy is not the Jets coach.

 

Perhaps McCarthy wants to see what everyone has to offer before deciding?

 

They met with him last night and they had him at the facility today

He was not going to get an offer immediately. But I'd expect the Jets to make an offer sometime this week. They do have other guys scheduled I believe

But they have spent the most time with McCarthy over any of the other candidates

 

Time for the beat writers to earn their dough

 

Truth. No one is going to believe it though.

 

If you & I know about Sam & his demeanor & Bakers ego don't you think Mccarthy knows without meeting Sam what he's getting into as Jets HC.

 

Which article are you referring to? I thought that Chris made those decisions now.

 

McCarthy has not yet interviewed with Cleveland. That's next week

 

C'mon! They're not THAT stupid!...They hired somebody to do it!

 

I get a great feeling that you are going to be so disappointed when they name this coach, more so if you keep hoping for one of the H bro's joining.

 

I disagree. The reason Mangini was fired was that he was too secretive and didn't keep Woody informed of what he wanted/planned to do. Also, I believe that trades and FA signings have to be approved. For all we know, the Johnsons could have ordered Mac to draft certain players (or anyone that Bowles wanted).

 

That's fatist

 

I listened to a Cleveland guy on sportsradio this morning and he was like a beat writer and even he has uncertainty about McCarthy's interview with Cleveland. He didn't seem to think McCarthy was a serious candidate for them

 

The Jets have an interview scheduled with Todd Monken on Tuesday, and supposedly really want to speak to Kris Richard. If Dallas loses on Sunday, then Richard could possibly be available this coming week. If Dallas wins or if Richard isn't available this coming week, will the Jets forget about Richard, or will they wait? We may have a decision by Tuesday or Wednesday, but it could be another week or so.

 

But we will manage to do so anyway

 

McCarthy looks fat to me.

 

So they had nothing to do with the Tebow debacle? The brett favre acquisition was something they heard about as a surprise like the rest of us? When they host predraft visits and a member of the Johnson family attends, he's just there to enjoy the business trip. I'm skeptical
