    Todd Monken is a phenomenal coach.

    His record as HC is awful though and so is Tampa's record. If you make a good arguement I'm willing to listen but from what I see he doesn't have it.

    The answer is number 42, it is always 42, the other 10 would prefer to be an OC/DC somewhere else before trotting up our drive.

    Well, folks from the Midwest really don't have a real good opinion of the East Coast anyway. I doubt if there's enough money to get McCarthy to move his family to the NY/NJ area. Imagine if he takes the Cleveland job though. Half this board would have to be put on suicide watch. Evidently Sam Darnold isn't the draw and neither is the Cap space.

    I wonder what Mrs. McCarthy had to say..

    God, you made such a good case for him I actually got a little excited and now you are saying it isn't going to happen or unlikely to happen, mind I have to say I would zero desire to live in London, huge amounts of traffic and the pollution that comes with it, I am a small town boy (well it is actually a City but it is smaller than a lot of towns lol) I can get on a mountain bike and ride from side to the other in around 30 minutes and that is currently fat me lol there is countryside less than 15 minutes from any direction you could possibly take, big cities are just the worst, seeing NY from the sky and thinking how the fuck do you traverse that on a daily basis is actually frightening lol

    That's why when I first joined this forum I created the topic, becoming a casual fan. I just can't stand us making the wrong decisions every year.

    Well, that's the speculation K'OB. Again, if you've ever been to Green Bay, WI, you'd understand why there's not a lot of incentive to move to NY/NJ. Completely different way of life, completely different kinds of people. If Green Bay is what you and the fam are used to, then the Jets job never really was in the cards. I'm sure McCarthy was flattered and perhaps thought about it, but at the end of the day, to coin a phrase: "If home ain't right, nothing is.." He wasn't gonna move the kids down here to go to school. That told me this one was DOA.

    Oh well, another newbie, another 4 year rebuild/OJT, another Macc extension. 2025-2030 perhaps. Hopefully by then, the Johnsons would have sold the team or at the very least, hired a competent VP of Football Ops. I'll be long gone by then though as my stop is coming up.

    Have yet to see one educated argument for Monken.

    It was Woody too, he even invited him to his home to sell him on the area. Remember, there was a new stadium being built!

    Mangini was the one that didn't want Favre. And when you're the odd man out in an embarassing year...

    I’ve been to GB several times (Also Milwaukee, Cheboygan.... Love it.

    McCarthy is from Pittsburgh. That city blood flows through him.

    Also, I live down the street from Atlantic Health — where he would spend most of his time. There are areas around here that mimic Wisconsin like Chester and Madison.

    I'm from Harlem, NY. But I live in Central PA and wouldn't trade it for urban living either. I'm still the city kid that learned his lessons, but I'm not stupid enough to trade what I have now for an 1500sq ft. apt, no parking, crowded subways, high taxes... No thanks.. If quality of life was the deal breaker, I can understand it.

    I've been to Green Bay several times myself as a FAA contractor. Seems the folks there are nice, polite, good. Town is clean and for the most part, they're fine and probably live a lot longer. Throw in great Walleye Fishing and Cman is good with it! If they want Big City, its a train ride or a drive down I-94 to ChiTown. I even got to see Lambeau Field up close and yeah, itsa shrine to the NFL.

    Perhaps Mrs. McCarthy vetoed the deal...

    You're probably right CB. I don't see it happening now that the kids ain't moving to the tri-state.

    Stupid Jets giving up a cache of draft picks etc to get John??? I like the Harbaughs but I dunno ..putting him and the Team in a big hole like that

    Sign McCarthy and use picks to build around Sam imo

    This is depressing depressing and more depressing

    BUT Why does Mike McCarthy TAKE an interview from New York?? Doesn't he know he's got to physically be here??

    Makes NO sense..if Mac and Chris screwed this up there's no forgiving them

    Now by default it's give Baltimore the House for JH or pursue the scrub college guys .with zero NFL experience

    If Chris and McNitwit were proactive they would have dumped Toilet B earlier ..have the jump on other teams ...it's pathetic

    .back to the drawing board

    Disgusting

    Mike McCarthy is still a candidate for the Jets' job, an NFL source told SNY.tv's Ralph Vacchiano, and as far as the team knows, the former Packers coach has not made any big decisions about his future. There has always been a chance that he'd choose to sit out the 2019 season, as one report on Sunday said he planned to do. But after interviewing him on Friday and Saturday, the source said, the Jets believe he's still interested in their job.
