I thought I heard Francessa say the following: "Ditka took the job but was told by the Halas' that he would have to take on Buddy as the DC. Ditka said, ok." Rex was told that he had to take Schotty on as OC. I think all this means is that he had learned that this is not the biggest deal in the world -- so he accepted that term.
If true this is just the latest in the disgraceful practices that have been the Jets since Johnson bought the team. It would also explain why they had no interest in hiring an established coach. They would never get them to agree to such a ridiculous demand. If you were a fly on the wall you would probably find out that the only reason was Johnson didn't want to lose the few hundred grand it would cost him to throw Schitty out. Think about it, you interview Schitty for the job and then tell Ryan you have to keep him. What class.
I somewhat agree. I certainly wouldn't want someone who was on the CS and had been interviewed on my staff. How much does Ryan trust in SChottenhomer. ? In Schotts defense, ( not Suttons , lol) His O calls were alot better this season , and I wonder how much Mr Bland had to do with that. Good Luck to Ryan , hes going to need it. First Job , Buddy , go find out which QB is starting and get rid of Sutton.
