Meddle Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 STANDING NEXT TO A GENIUS IN THE TEAM PHOTO DOES NOT MAKE ONE A GENIOUS. Ask yourself why he's standing next to the genius. Why...

Smizzy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 WHY THE _____ IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Who cares if you agree or disagree with warfish,Since when is ok to bash him into 100 pieces for his opinion? Since when did we become the other board? Get a grib and bring something to the table other than calling him names. It's bullsh*t. I respect Warfish and his opinions. Since when are we in the business of destroying anybody with a differnt point of view? ENOUGH. Either play nice or shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernJet Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sorry you feel that way Bob. You mistake my issue with Mangina with my like of HErm, buit those are two VERY seperate issues. My liking of Herm ended the day he left the Jets employ, period. As for my so-called "Credabillity", I'll put my opinions and viewpoints up against anyones. I know I've been right a hell of alot more often then most of my fellow forumites, and the last thing I need to feel speciel is the approval of a bunch of love-today/hate-tomorrow sheep-like Jets fans. So "flush my credibility" all you see fit my friend (and I still think you a friend Bob) because I will not stand down, and toe sopme party-line just because this child of a coach once stood next to Parcells in the post-game chow line, and once showered in the same stall as Bellichek. He has a MASSIVE amount to prove to show he DESERVED this job. How can you not agree with that? Do you really think he was better qualified that say, Al Saunders? Or even our own Dinger? Or half-a-dozen other much more experienced O and D Co's? No way. The love of this move among fans continues to show our inferiority complex over Parcells/Bellichek, and our obsession with same. This kid got this job purely because he was a Bellichek guy. It sure as hell wasn;t his medicre-at-best D-Co job in 2005. he has a ton more resume than Herm EVER had,,a TON!!!!!!! Does anyone ever ythink Herm added anything to a game plan, anything. Anything to ingame strategy. Well its prety obvious we have a football IQ gym rat who will at least be able to startegize . plus Herm NEVER had a gym rat work ethic. He spent more time in press room than film room.

GimmeShelter Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Fish is a great poster though I wouldn't rush to judgement on our HC with a main argument being he was nervous in his first NY televised press conference. Mangini has had the equivalent of going to Harvard in terms of football mentors he's worked under. Worth a shot IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 A job requirement of an NFL head coach is not to have a silver tongue, regardless of what our previous "leader" would have one believe. I could honestly care less how well Mangini articulates himself. I only care about how good of a football coach he is. And as of right now, we don't know that for sure. Only time will tell, but it's ******* ridiculous to judge him based on a PRESS CONFERENCE. Living in the past, Fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The fact that we're already criticizing a flipping press conference shows how bitter we've become as fans. So the guy can't speak in front of the camera well. So what?? correct me if im wrong, but Belichick isn't exactly the Joe Blow PR guy either. Judge him by how he does on the field and not how he carries himself in one press conference. It was the man's 1st press conference in probably his 11 years in the NFL. Lighten up... Secondly, I agree with Smizzy, everyone needs to relax or this place is going to start looking like the Politics board on JI (sorry, Bit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smizzy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Warfish has a point. We all said Herm didn't have enough experience when he was hired. We were right. Hiring Mangini ,it looks like the Jets are doing the same thing. Hiring a guy with no experience. Why? Because he is BB boy. Can't we all agree you see why he would be concerned? I can. In this case the jets FO went against a retread and with a young fresh face. Im willing to give him a shot and see what he can do before a kill myself.

But I will give him the benefit of the doubt until I see him on gameday. I got all fired up listening to Herm's introduction speech only to bear witness to some of the worst gameday coaching I have ever seen. Mangini can speak like rainman for all I care if he brings a winning atmnosphere and a title to us over the next 5 years. You're a little over the top with this honestly.

I know Mangini was only the Pats' defensive coordinator for a year, but that is STILL more experience than Herm had before getting here. This is an X's and O's type coach. One that will not take sh*t from players, and one who was groomed by two of the greatest coaches in league history. Yes, he's young, but it's a little much to brand him a failure because of a PRESS CONFERENCE, don't you think? I saw part of the PC, and yes, his public speaking skills do need a lot of work.

Warfish Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 It's funny really.....Hambone is as up & down as anyone, yet never seems toi take any flack. For once in my time I am as up & down as Ham, and I get browbeaten.....and yes, agree or not I think I know my football at a similar, if not neccesarily equal level, to my good friend Ham. I know this......I am right on my posts as much as he is. I think my issues are legit, but you are welcome to disprove them. His resume as I see it is thin, as thin as Herms if not more thin (Herm was Asst. Head Coach for 5 years remember). His experience is minimal at the highest level of football, he is very young (and does not seem to have the powerful presence of similar young guys the Chin in Pittsbugh or Chucky in Tampa (well, Raiders then). His biggest calling card seems to me (and from all the pro-posts I've read) is his tie to Bellichek. Can he succeed? Sure he can, how the hell can I say he cannot? But his press conference did not impress me at all, and I am suprised it would inpress anyone. He was shaky, mumbly, unsure, unconfident looking and said absolutely nothing of value (those saying he showed "more football in 30 minutes" are full of crap...he didn't SAY anyhting, just standard issue non-speak BS, which is fine). I admit, I am shocked to the 99.9% Love-fest he's getting here and on JI. I really am. And I'm sorry my "lack of faith" so offends you all. And for th erecord, once and friggin for all, my issues with Mangini HAVE NOTHING TO DO with my once-liking of Herm. The second Herm stopped being our coach, I stopped caring about him beyond standard issue "hope he has a decent life" stuff. I do not want Herm back, even though I would have retained him one more season (and paid him more). My issues with Mangini are with Mangini, and Jets Ownership/F.O. alone.

My disagreement with his firing is based more on the competative nature of the Jets in his time (lowest penalties, solid "D", least turnovers, rarely blown out) as opposed to the unknown of a new coach, and especially the unknown of a young, inexperience kid who, frankly, I feel has not EAREND The right to be a H.C. just yet.

You cant overcome that with a injured team or on bad days,, wit hHerm everything had to be working.

GreenBeans Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Bottom line - he is a football coach, not a public speaker. He admitted he's naive to some extent and is expecting to grow and learn. He wants and will demand players that are smart, disciplined, and willing to play a roll. He said more in this presser that had to do with actual football and team building then Herm did in the last 3 years. He talked about passion and excellence. I'm good with that, I do not care what he sounds like while saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always seemed willing to debate from both angles and respect opinions that don't agree with you. Recently though you have taken a real hard stance on your beliefs without even considering the other end of the spectrum. So a post like this looks alot like a premature "I told you so" than a healthy debate. Still no reason for personal attacks. As far as Ham, he is expected to be over the top and I don't take him too seriously. Afterall I figure he'll be dead right after the Jets pass up on Jay Cutler with the first pick. I set the over/under at 20 minutes before he jumps off a bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remeber back then reading that Dungy did that to give him higher visibility to other teams and to allow him to get a raise. NEVER a coordinator, NEVER did anyone come callin for him to be a DC,,his chance came when Tags called the uberLiberal Woody to help the NFL image. No probelem with that, but they should have hired theexperienced DC Marvin Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
