The guy who invented the gimmick wildcat and who did a miserable job in buffalo last year.

Firstly, he most certainly did not invent the wildcat, so let's just get that out of the way quickly. Secondly, he has 37 years of coaching experience and the only thing you can point out is last year in buffalo?? I mean c'mon man, you've got to at least put a little more effort into it than just this.

He's the guy who developed the wildcat with the dolphins.

[SenorGato]

Quick glance: He's actually got a likable background. None of this QB coach of U of Pitt nonsense.

Connected to the Parcells tree.

I'm somewhere in the mindset of QB coach = Hitting Coach. Whatever.

He brought it to the Dolphins yes, but that had absolutely zero bearing on his developing QBs on the roster. This is basically akin to saying, because Marty Mornihweg runs the ball sometimes, he has no idea how to develop a passing attack. Lee has been credited for retooling Romo's mechanics, helping Penny with his during the year he won the comeback player award and Fitzy as well. I know nothing about the guy, other than I remember hearing his name during a few SEC games a while back while he was OC at Ole Miss, but to discredit him just because he was extremely innovative back in 2008, where he won all sorts of coaching awards, seems a bit ridiculous.

Didn't he build the Mannings?

I heard he also sheds his skin once a year and like an alligator can fully digest a turtle shell

Ok no matter what the Jets do you want to tear it down before you give them a chance-

No problems with this hire. Lee seems to have a good track record and Cavanaugh is gone. What's not to like?

That's because every single thing they've ever done in my lifetime amounts to failure. I just like to get out in front of it.

I am searching my memory for the names of those Arkansas elite QBs he produced. Does Malette belong tohim? He almost played yesterday. A guy famous for a gimmick offense is not necessarily the one you want to school your QB. But hey, we had Cavanagh, the ghost coach. Anything is better than that.

Technically, Ryan Fitzpatrick did a miserable job last year... just like he did the year before without Lee, no?

Yeah, there are about 3-4 hitting coaches in MLB that make a difference every year for their teams. The rest are guys filling a role to varying levels of inconsequence.
