Gase was an asshole. I don't think the Jets will hire another so soon. There's no way Harbaugh would make the finals his first 3 years here and then get to a SB. What the Jets need as much as anything else is stability. We need a GM and HC who can be here for 15-20 years or more. Daboll and Douglas can do that. Smith and Douglas can do it. Matt Campbell, Pat Fitzgerald and PJ Fleck can also all do it with Douglas. I doubt that Martindale can. Saleh could, as could some of the other names I've seen mentioned. I don't want anyone over 50.
I don't know anything about him other than he's the DC of the Ravens and he's 57, I think. I did google him a few weeks ago and see that he has only been a D coach. I haven't heard anything that would make me believe that he's an undisciplined ass clown like Rex who lets other men fondle his wife (if not other things) and I don't think he'd get a picture of our QB tatooed on himself.
I think there’s a ton of good choices this time around and it’s going to be hard for them to completely screw this up. Lots of top notch coordinators with qualities to become head coaches and a few college guys who are intriguing. I’m not sure yet who my top choice is but I like the names they’re interviewing already
Never fear. We are the Jets after all. The one year coordinator who impresses in an interview is always lurking out there. I feel like teams are interviewing more guys because they can just do a Zoom call with them this year too. I might be wrong this might always be the number of candidates each team interviews. Either way we better find our guy fast and not end up with last licks like the Cowboys did last year when Jerry cried to himself for a week before firing Garrett.
Nick Mangold said it best, you have to be happy with where the Jets are headed in 2021. As bad as that last season was, Gase is fired, we have the #2 overall pick with a potential franchise QB available, we have 10 picks, we have a shit ton of cash, and there are a lot of really good potential coaches out there. And I am happy as all hell that we have Douglas leading the charge through all of this.
At this stage I still want previous HC experience. Hiring an accomplished OC or DC as HC usually means that we take away the one thing that they are proven at and try them in a role that they may be ill-suited for. And, yes, I know Gase fits the above description but no-one needed a PhD to realise that was a bad hire.
NFL rumors: Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh’s ‘interest’ in Jets is holding up contract extension https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nj.com/jets/2021/01/nfl-rumors-michigans-jim-harbaughs-interest-in-jets-is-holding-up-contract-extension.html?outputType=amp
This is the reason why, after so long in the wilderness you surely don't just want a 4-year spell before returning to shit again?
Teams will interview guys that they have no intentions of hiring but view the guys as future up and comers and give them interviews to help them out. It’s part of the fraternity helping each other. There will probably be more of it this year since there’s no travel expenses.
Likely. Or he's logically waiting to here if they want to interview him and present him with an offer. Either way, smart on his part
I know man. A lot of guys get interviewed that teams have no chances of hiring. But we're also the Jets. And sometimes Jets gonna Jets.
The Patriots would interview top college QBs each year even though they had Tom Brady an no realistic chance of drafting the guy. The rumored reason was to get some free intel on how the guy thinks so they could better prepare against him when they played him If we were smart we'd be doing the same thing with coaching
I want Matt Campbell or Pat Fitzgerald from the college ranks - from the pro ranks Joe Brady, Brian Daboll or Robert Saleh. Ultimately, I prefer the college ranks because of the program building aspect. Someone needs to come in and be a head football coach not a glorified DC or OC with an HC title.
