Jets new HC search

Woody is gonna fall in love with Wink Martindale.  He didn't want to fire Rex, he had to.

Harbaugh wasn't the only great coach Martindale worked with at Cincinnati. Rex Ryan was the team's defensive coordinator for two years (1996-1997) and Martindale was his linebackers coach. When Martindale got his first NFL job with the Oakland Raiders in 1994, he became the linebackers coach under first-time defensive coordinator Rob Ryan (Rex's brother). Martindale and Rob worked together for five years there. Martindale is extremely close to the two brothers – so much that he's almost considered a third Ryan brother.

Rex and Rob Ryan are known as two of the most aggressive coaches in the NFL. They love to blitz and will take chances with their play-calling. Martindale is in the same mold.

"I'm an aggressive guy by nature," Martindale told the Denver Post in 2010. "I believe in physical, smart football, and I have an aggressive attitude about things."

Urban Meyer 'expects' to be Jaguars head coach

[Derek Smalls]

It would be hilarious if we got Lawrence. Would continue the trend of guys falling to the Jets lap in the draft.

That said, I assume Urban would draft Trevor.

I just was reading a passage in Collision Low Crossers where Wink expresses his wish that Rex would get more involved with the offense. Says he understands Rex's hesitancy to mess with what one of his coordinators is doing but "how many times do you get the chance to be a head coach."

I'm fine with Wink provided he hires a competent OC.

From Rap’s article on the Gase firing

Matt Eberflus could be a real darkhorse. 

[Heismanberg]

If we hire Dan Mullen, I’m out

The only guy I want that is not mentioned is Saleh, but it looks like he may be taking the Detroit job

Excerpts stolen from reddit:

From today's Athletic article here

Albeit a bit late, Christopher Johnson realized his mistake and moved on. He’s given full control of this team to Douglas. He’ll pick the next head coach, and has the green light to do whatever he wants in the draft and free agency. If he’s as good as those around the NFL believe, the Jets are in good hands.

And here from when JD was hired

Not only did Douglas secure complete control of the team’s 53-man roster, but his six-year contract gives him the kind of job security that is not offered to most first-time general managers. If Gase does not work out as head coach, Douglas has extra security. He would be able to hire his own head coach and continue molding the roster without much of a concern about his status with the team.

Good. I see another OT in our future.

Good. I see another OT in our future.

Just draft 1 in the first round every year until we have a backup tackle at an all-pro level.  Then draft one more.
