Jets begin Coaching Search in the most Hysterical Way Possible

Coaching is a young man's game.  The game passed Ron Rivera by, and I don't take Rex Ryan's interest seriously. He hasn't done a damn thing besides broadcasting since he was let go by the Bills.

 

If these older former head coaches have legitimate interest in returning to coaching, they need to take HC jobs in college or the UFL to stay in the pipeline.  Even then, your chances of getting back to the NFL are remote.     

 

If I were the Jets, I wouldn't look at OCs and DCs off the bat.   They've tried that.  The college to NFL pipeline has been awful.   

 

I'd be looking at coaches like Skip Holtz and Anthony Becht who have performed well in the UFL and have built a team of assistants.  Skip Holtz has a great resume.  I'd look at Mike Vrabel too.

I mean coaches in their 60s have won 5 of the last 7 Superbowls so that's kind of debatable.

Two things are certain with this Jets offseason:

1.  They will make the worst possible choices in GM and Coach and QB.  

2. The national and local media will trumpet them as Super Bowl favorites, all problems fixed.  
 

My personal favorite choice is Rex Ryan but there are plenty of other bad alternatives to choose from.

The Bills could win the Super Bowl 3 years in a row and the national media will pick the Jets over them every time

Please hire Ron Rivera 🤡 

Expand  

Rivera wouldn't be the worst hire, but a pretty uninspiring one. It would be like when the Bears hired John Fox. Yeah he's a good coach and is steady, but what exactly are you building?

 

Rivera would have made sense this year. Needed a leader who could manage lots of different personalities in a win now year

Well done!

Glenn has the Jets connection but do they really go for another defensive minded guy? I'd think they'd want to go for offense. Todd Monken and Kliff Kingsbury might be names to throw into the ring but guess it really depends who they name GM first. 

Expand  

They don't need to zero in on an "offense or defense" guy. They need the best guy for them. That, to me is a 'culture setter'. Someone that can come in and reset the mentality much like McDermott did here in Buffalo.

Maybe the Jets will repeat history again. They hired Adam Gase after he had been fired in Miami. Maybe this time they hire Brian Flores to keep the cycle going.

Rivera is awful and i would say he’s an idiot. Look up some of the ridiculous comments hes made over the years. I really hope the Jets hire him.

Here's what I hope happens:  Hire Neon Deion Sanders.  That would be the clown show we need and the Jets deserve

Expand  

I love this. I think Deion has the kind of (false) confidence to take this job.

>>> "Coach Sanders getting ready for tomorrow's home opener?"

Just as likely if Wrecks takes the HC job. 🤨

Rivera is medium to low floor and low ceiling head coach.

I think Deion is smart enough to not stake his shot on the Jets (if he wants an NFL shot).  Terrible owner, a boiler plate of a media market, and a fan base who will be sick of the next coach by Labor Day

Hire Rexy, Rogers. 
NYC and ESPN will again predict AFCE champs until September. 
 

Pats QB is dangerously skilled.

They probably hire Glenn

Ya i agree. I wonder if Vrabel would even want to go to New York though 

 

He probably knows he only has one more chance at being a head coach, and going to the jets is just a recipe to fail

Expand  

 

Vrabel will have his pick.  He won't pick Jets.

Would Rex be the funniest option?  Who might compete with Rex on the hilarity scale?

Paging Doug Marrone, Doug Marrone, your position is now available.

[stlbills13]

All this tells me is that the Jets already realize nobody wants them.

With him and Aaron R, you can’t get any more media attention and mediocrity (or less) than that. What a clown show that would be.

 

Do it, Woody! Do it!

I was going to crack off jokes, but in all seriousness the real problem like a few other teams is the owner.  Jeff Bezos has expressed interest in buying the team, which the league would be drooling to get a N.Y. owner worth $237.5 bil.  The only other NFL family with $ like that is the Walton family in Denver.  Look what they did.  Hire Sean Payton, one of the best coaches over the last 15 years, give him the freedom to make hard decisions like Russel Wilson, and watch a quick turnaround.

 

Any of the top flight coaches with lots of experience like a Jim Harbaugh (another quick turnaround team) and decision making powers of a GM and assistants with solid compensation is the way out for the Jets.  Now, I’d rather not that have that happen as we’d have competition in a few years, so a Wrex hire would be great.
