    If you taught an advanced placement class in high school and unqualified students were allowed to take your course, should you as the teacher be fired when test scores decline? In a high school Bowles would be the vice principal. They recommend staff, and directly supervise teachers, but the coordinators and position coaches would actually be the classroom teachers. So why is Bowles catching so much flack? He is not the teacher nor is he solely in charge of staffing. Woody is the Superintendent, Mac is the principal. ..where should the fingers be pointed when a team/ school is failing? Teachers cant draft students, they teach who is in their classroom, but sometimes the lessons have to be modified so much for the players/students to comprehend that when they see the real test, the real test is like a foreign language. Students get frustrated and give up...and the teacher looks ineffective. The teacher says "i taught Patterson the same information/lessons i taught Revis. They are both on similar reading levels...I dont know why Revis performed so poorly." "Fitz was in my class last year...other qb's/students i have looped with have performed well 2 years in a row...i don't know why Fitz scored so low this year...im shocked." Im sure you all have not given 100% in a class or in preparation for a test although the teacher taught what was needed to succeed. And i am sure we all have had the teacher and the end of their line...ready to get off at the last stop. Tests/schemes are modified, students/players have a multitude of physical and emotional issues. Does the district/team provide proper staff development or are the meetings a waste of time? Should we fire teachers/coordinators and position coaches , vice principals/head coaches , or principals/Gm's every year a school/team fails? Who is to blame?

    Many factors but:
    1 wasting timeouts
    2 12 men on the field too many times
    3 kick a fg down 41-0
    4 down 2 scores punt at midfield late in game
    5 Chiefs game Shitz should have been sat after 3rd Int
    6 lost the locker room
    7 etc....

    Why wasnt the experienced Gailey more of a factor? In my "The Donald Trump Effect" post i speculated how Jets staff, players, etc who supported/opposed him could have had a negative impact on the relationships within the team...Did Gailey and Bowles have a fallout?

    Bowels gets most credit because he is the head coach, but Gailey has been horrible too

    Mac is not the principal. He has no authority over Bowles. Poor analogy.

    You are to blame for creating this stinky thread.

    Yes, if you suck as a teacher, you should be fired.

    I laugh whenever anyone blames the fans for the Jets sucking.

    I'm fairly confident it ain't us.
