Ulbrich needs to go ASAP. If they lose to the last ranked Texan offense next week, he needs to be done. Period.
There's no reason to wait that long. He needs to go now. The defense is making the same mistakes they've been making all season. They continue to be undisciplined, and giving up 24 points to the Dolphins is the equivalent of giving up 50-points to a real NFL team. He's got to go.
This is why you hire a HC with some experience. Saleh is up to his armpits in alligators and he doesn't even realize he's in the swamp yet. There's always some part of the Jets that is "who-what-where" - ing. This year it is basically the entire team and that's because the Jets have yet another rookie HC and another GM who has no answers to the problems his off-season has created.
I'm astonished at how many times this team gets burned on the wheel route. I could be understanding if they were getting burned by some really complicated route combinations, but the wheel route is something that every JV football team is able to routinely cover. Yet, we can't figure this stuff out.
Well, coaches have to start somewhere. Every one of them was a rookie head coach at one point. Also, hiring an experienced HC, as we well know, is no guarantee for success. Hell, even hiring a formerly successful head coach is no guarantee for success. Look at Jimmy Johnson with the Dolphins, or Mike Ditka with the Saints, George Seifert with the Panthers, Mike Shanahan with the Redskins, Dennis Green with the Cardinals...you get the idea. I don't have a problem hiring rookie head coaches; Most of the greats were successful with their first teams: Lombardi, Landry, Walsh, Johnson, Parcells, Cowher, Noll, Holmgren...the list goes one. More recently McVey, Kyle Shanahan, Kliff Kingsbury, and Mike Vrabel have all shown the ability to be successful with their first head coaching gigs. So I'm not against hiring rookie head coaches as a rule. But I do understand that some rookies have it right out of the gate, and others don't. Right now, Saleh is showing that he's over his head. Either he's not the defensive genius we thought he is, and he's responsible for this mess, or he's not a good "CEO" and he's not holding Ulbrich's feet to the fire and telling him to give his balls a tug and start actually CHALLENGING opposing offenses!
I'm against the Jets hiring a rookie HC because historically we've just blown chunks when we did that. What works for smart well-run organizations doesn't work for stupid poorly-run ones. The Jets are a stupid, poorly-run organization and they have been that for most of their existence but certainly over the last decade.
That's true. Rookie head coaches are not usually a good choice for completely building a mess of a team from the ground up. If Saleh were to be fired, I would want to replace him with someone like Doug Pedersen.
I definitely would want the new guy to have prior HC experience and given the Jets particular weaknesses in the executive suites I would want him to have CEO-type prior HC experience.
The offense is starting to come around a bit, I think. LaFleur has made progress as the season has gone and the offense, in general, has shown noticeable improvement. The exact opposite can be said about the defense. It's bad. It's on the path towards being historically bad. They can't cover route combinations that little league and high school teams can routinely cover. How there hasn't been any kind of change made on that side of the ball, be it scheme, personnel, person calling the plays, whatever, is completely unacceptable.
Miami eclipsed their season averages in passing and rushing by a good amount today. Just terrible. The disappointing play by the defensive line is on the coaching staff as much as it is on the players.
Lol even when the defense does well y’all are miserable. No wonder why this franchise is cursed. Terrible fans. anywho DLine wrecked, JFM stat line was crazy good. They brought it today
When I..WE are watching the game and are calling out stupidity that gets reaffirmed by hof QB's and announcers calling out coaches doing dumb shiot It really makes you wonder who is actullay running things. The owners don't gaf about the defunctness of it, They are about profits and dollars. They have to prove their existence in their bubble of life. The Dolans and Johnsons of the world are constantly trying to prove themselves as independent businesses that "they Built", Getting the money was the easy part, trying to actually be able to do it shows how unqualified they actually are. Owners who try and be hands on only do it for ego and proving themselves to their "peers'. Rich doesn't mean your qualified.
