SoFlaJets Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Posted by Mike Florio on November 25, 2009 9:41 AM ET As the tarp is being removed from the NFL's coaching carousel, one thing we know is that, in the end, there will be some unexpected seats on the ride. And with word already leaking of possible destinations for former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, it would be unrealistic at this point to rule out the New York Jets. Last year, the Jets were interested. But the presence -- and the authority -- of G.M. Mike Tannenbaum kept Cowher from pursuing the opportunity, since he will want to run the show, presumably with the assistance of his former Pittsburgh lieutenants, Kevin Colbert and Omar Khan. This time around, another season featuring early excitement followed by a cold splash of 1-6 reality likely will result in another non-trip to the playoffs, despite plenty of hype and big talking. So Tannenbaum, who traded for Brett Favre in 2008 and traded up to draft Mark Sanchez in 2009, could be on shaky ground. And if Tannenbaum gets the Christmas-tree-in-January treatment, the possibility of making another run at Cowher cannot be disregarded. Of course, that would require the Jets to fire Rex Ryan after only one year. Bill Cowher. Rex Ryan. Bill Cowher. Rex Ryan. Bill Cowher. Rex Ryan. When combining the frustration that got Eric Mangini fired after the 2008 season with the reality that the Personal Seat Licenses at the new stadium won't be selling themselves, the decision shouldn't be all that difficult, should it?

RutgersJetFan Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 So long as ticket sales for 2010 remain as putrid as they have been, this will be a realistic possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 this team NEEDS an authoritative figure running it since the owner is such a milktoast...Cowher will NEVER be the Jets HC but hey, we can dream can't we? Whatever happens, we need Tannenbaum and Schottenheimer gone...same time frame that Mangini got canned...the NIGHT of the Bengals loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Cowher doesn't want anything to do with this debacle. This is 100% true, and especially if the Jets whack Ryan after one year. It makes Woody look like a flake which will go along with his reputation of being a cheap f()ck who won't pay his coaches. If Rex goes, it will be for a flashy name that he can sell PSL's with that Woody thinks he can nickel-and-dime. A Mike Martz-type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this EY, There are a LOT more Jets fans around who are being silent right now than us on the boards and commenting on the blogs etc. Start winning and you'll see the numbers increase. Jets fans have to STOP caring about this horrible team to keep their sanity...like my friend RBJets said in a PM to me on Saturday "I have enough pain and misery in my life, I don't need any more, so I'm taking my son out to dinner-I WON'T be watching Sunday" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 this year has been a dismal failure of epic proportions and people are going to have to be held accountable. Johnson needs to fire the bean counter and the OC at the very least to save face and if there's any remote possibility of getting a Bill Cowher he has to do it. Who knows maybe Ryan takes a demotion to defensive co ordinator, maybe not. But rest assured Jets fans; heads WILL roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is a business so I'd wouldnt be suprise that Woody/Tanny does this to sell PSL's. Truth be told, if they dont sell these PSL's they're going to be in a heap of trouble...which they're in right about now anyway cuz their not selling.

T0mShane Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Ok................... What does that have to do with my question? Jets fans that are going to buy PSL's have already bought their PSL's. The remaining tickets have to be sold to corporations looking for a hot-ticket/prestige-level package that they can use with clients. Right now, if a sales rep tried handing a buying agent a pair of Jets tickets, he'd get laughed at. Now, if Cowher's here, that buying agent is CALLING the sales rep for those tickets. Stock brokers, bankers, etc. won't pay for the ticket that gets them laughed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbro22 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm a firm believer in that the only way to sell tickets is to win. Take the Yankees this year for example. The stadium didn't fill up till they started to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I wasn't clear enough Eric but what I'm saying is if the Jets start winning again Jets fans will be coming out of the woodwork. They WILL buy tickets. We see it whenever the do start winning (like in September) when a lot of newbies sign up on the boards. But when they suck like they do now, Jets fans go into hibernation to keep their sanity and DON'T buy tickets and don't post up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupz27 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm glad that we have Rex. I 2nd that. Bill Cohwer is very overrated he coached for the best run FRANCHISE and had a absolute genius as a D-Coordinator he is one of the most conservative coaches I have ever watched sometimes that good but sometimes it makes you want to throw your chair through the TV, both of my brother-in-laws are Steeler fans and were not that upset that he walked after winning the SuperBowl.

Here it is Thanksgiving Day and our season has been over for a week already...remember last season when Kris Jenkins told about his samich on national TV-we were 8-3 that day...since then we've lost twice as many games as we have won...aren't you TIRED of this sht yet? I could care less about the "we almost won or COULD have won or SHOULD be record or any excuses about rookie HC's or QB's" We are what we are....a crappy football team with a ton of excuses-THAT I understand and you know what?

124 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The fact that this team is 4-6 is PATHETIC. I do not care that Rex is a rookie HC and I do not care that Sanchez is a rookie QB. We had a rookie HC with a Raggedy Ann at QB, with half a ****ing arm, lead a team with Kevan Barlow in the backfield, to 10-6 and a playoff berth. I do not want to hear this rookie HC and QB excuses. Look at Baltimore last season. The FACT is, our Defense which was supposed to be so awesome, is a paper champion, and in 2 of our 4 close loses, has let down in the final minutes. The FACT is, our QB has turned the ball over 5 times TWICE, and four times another. I'm sorry, but why the **** is it okay for him to do that? Because he is a rookie? Give me a break. And if someone compares him to Peyton Manning one more time, please, feel free to buy a gun and just off yourselves. Who the **** in their right mind would compare Sanchez to Manning? They have almost NOTHING in common. Hopefully he takes his head out of his ass and we start winning some ****ing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 lol, I knew the media would be desperate to get the jets into the coaching carosel they feel left out of a great story anything is possible, but I think either shotty is the sacrificial lamb or everyone gets a pass for the rookie QB either way cowher still sounds like a steeler on the pre-game shows, I don't think he's going to coach again, and I'm almost sure it won't be the jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey JI is a more positive place than here right now..sad but true Manning was 3-13 with 28 Ints his first year and had Tom Moore as an OC and not Schott, Sperm seems to forget that. We are also 2 Defensive stops and a braindead ST game from being 7-3, none of these can be put on Sanchez the Jills game as bad as he phucked up in regulation, drove us from 16 yd line to winning FG try, when a backup TE makes an unneeded Holding call, costing us a 30 yd FG So if you believe Feeley makes it, we could have been 8-2, if you feel weatherford would have dropped that try as well then 7-3 with a rook at QB but this is the jets so we remain at 4-6 with lots of holes to fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes firing an unqualified HC for a legend after only one year? Good then do it. If it takes getting rid of the GM, please it's about that time anyway. If it takes a new offensive philosophy and a new OC...it's long overdue. If it takes benching an overwhelmed rookie signal caller, then get Jeff Garcia on the phone stat if you have zero confidence in who's backing him up.
