Here is the truth...
- Hiring a head coach is a crapshoot
- Knowing whether you have a good head coach takes atleast 3 years (See Bowles and Rex)
- Hiring and Firing coaches every 3 years will not result in success
- There are no surefire candidates who want to come to the Jets
Let Gase have this year and then we can talk.
I'll go back to my exercise. If there are so many better options, name 10 great coaches in the NFL that you'd be happy to have. No one on this board will be able to agree on 10.
We don't have to agree on 10 guys who will be great.
All we have to know is that the guy we have isn't gonna get it done. If that's true, then we need to try and find a different one. Based on Gase's 4 years as a HC between Miami and NY, many people, myself included believe that he can't be the guy. As long as people believe that about a coach, they will want him gone. Same was true of Bowles, Rex, Mangini etc.
If Gase can't improve the offense and help Sam develop, he needs to be shown the door, sooner rather than later. If we fired him tomorrow I sure as excrement wouldn't be complaining. Williams could run the team in the interim and I don't think many jets fans would be too disappointed.
