I'd rather have hired John Lynch to be our OC. But I guess it doesn't hurt to see what John Doe has before he gets flushed down with Bowles. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
So he's the guy that made Sanchez look good at USC... Things tend to come full circle to the Jets, just never in a good way
so your choices whenever hiring most coaches/gms are the guy with experience but is out of work because that experience includes sucking with his last team or the guy working his way up, making his bones but has never held the position you need to fill. its a tough call to decide wheteher the guy who sucked will not suck with you or if the new guy will be over his head. either way you have people who can point to a flaw and gripe. this guy has a resume and every oc starts as a position coach so i am willing to be patient and cautiously optimistic. i've seen schotty jr call plays, nothing else will ever scare me
I think aside from Schotty, whose playcalling looked like it was drawn up by the mental ward in One Flew Over, the prevailing trend from Hackett to Gailey was OCs calling conservative garbage because they didn't trust the QB. I don't see that trend changing no matter who we hire.
except for every other year of the pennington era and 9 games with favre, for the most part you can't blame them. you ever look back at the raw sewage spill-esque trail of qbs left in the wake of the s.s. jets?
No doubt bruh. Anyway, I don't see this team doing shit if this offense doesn't drastically change. Hopefully his single year as an oc at the collegiate level prepared him for new England and maybe, maybe Miami. If the pa is more than 17 they could be screwed.

Nothing can drastically change on an offense with a Swiss cheese Oline and nobody at QB. I mean, yeah, the playbook can have a bunch of neato new plays in it, but there will only be so many of them that can be called when your options are Bruce Peggy, Christian Hackenbarf and [veteran career backup to be named] in a camp competition. No chemistry will be gained, and it will basically be variations of 3 conservative plays called for the first half of the season. That's what happens when you sign a bandaid QB with no real successor on the roster and that guy shits the bed. The only way things are different is if somehow they manage a trade for Captain Sidearm Phillip, or Smokin Jay Cutler, in which instance we're fooling ourselves with a career choker for a few years, but at least the playbook will open a little.
well its not like he is taking over the greatest show on turf. so i'm not really ready to decide on a number he needs to hit before i call him a failure. i'll wait for a few preseason games before i start biting my nails about this guy. lets hope his time around a lot of good coaches and 1 h.o.f. qb has prepared him for this.
I swear I think they broke petty already. I agree, and I'm putting my sole hope on a future hof position coach on the defensive side, and overall todd bowles to at least help them not be in emergency mode by the second quarter. We're screwed. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
But to add to that, I'd probably prefer to watch hack get killed than Jay cutler win a few games and lose a bunch in the cutler way. Do he and Marshall even like each other or will it be like multiple bad girlfriends in the locker room. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
I look back at my 8 year old self wearing my generic Jets shirt and being romanced with stories about Namath and SBIII. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Screwed? That's just a bullshit word. So you go on and daydream about this dumb team finding a genius coach to save them. Because to be honest, I don't give a shit.
Not sure what people are complaining about as most on this board wanted a young/hungry guy and Morton fits that bill. He also coached under some strong coaches in Gruden, Carroll, Payton, and Harbaugh so perhaps he can give Bowles some insight as to how a program should be managed.
