Jets new HC search

[MBGreen]

Why settle for Quinn when we can wait another few hours and get Matt Patricia?

Mort just said Adam Gase is being looked at internally by the higher ups this week after they’ve been hearing all the noise from outside...Chris Johnson finally is listening #Jets

[CatoTheElder]

What did he mean being looked at? As in they haven't been evaluating him until now?

Checks out with what Chris Johnson has said about Maccagnan after the fact

That's...yeah that tracks.

I created the game thread for this afternoon....ensuring a Gase termination.

[Derek Smalls]

I don't care where this coach comes from. Every argument people make can easily be refuted.

If you want a guy with previous HC experience, that means he likely got fired for not doing a good job.
If you want a college coach, how do we know he'll translate?
If we want a great offensive coordinator, how do we know how he'll translate?
If we want a guy who coached under Andy Reid only, how do we know he isn't just riding Reid's coattails?
If we want a guy who coached under worse coaches, how do we know they're any good?

Every candidate has risks. Even the two that fit in JE's magical formula, Kubiak isn't running a good offense now and he has had health issues in the past that have caused him to quit jobs in the past. And Harbaugh hasn't done a great job in college and only won with an NFL team that was absolutely loaded with talent, and he's a bit of a nutjob.

I want a head coach who:
- Can hire a good staff
- Has some sort of offensive background or at the very least embraces offense
- Understands analytics and coaches aggressively
- Is good working with people, whether that's players, coaches or media
- Hasn't proven to be incompetent at a previous job

I don't know who fits my list. Just because you're a great offensive mind doesn't mean you are a great head coach.

I would lean towards some of the college coaches personally, but I have no idea how well they will translate.

There is no chance he gets fired tonight/monday. Not with a Thursday game this week.

But if we get smacked today, then it really can be fire Gase watch all week.

We would have to get smacked today and on Thursday.

I want a guy that gives us hope. I just don't want to be devastated by a hire again like I was with Bowles and Gase.

With Gase everybody was basically saying anybody but Gase... with Bowles, I was pissed because we wanted Quinn, but decided we didn't want to wait, so we hired an inferior candidate and KNEW we were doing it. I am almost positive it came out that Quinn was our top choice, but Bowles did enough in his interview to convince us we could be the guy

[Derek Smalls]

I was fine with Bowles. I thought Bowles was a good hire.

I hated the Gase hire like everyone else. I convinced myself there were positive attributes to his hire and gave him a chance. Some would argue even 18 games isn't enough either but he hasn't given any reason to have faith in him.

Which turd smells worse.....is basically what we're measuring between Gase and Bowles.

At least Bowles gave us the customary honeymoon year.
