not sure why people think darnold has much trade value. for the same reason the jets aren't sure what to do with him, why would any team give up something of value for him based on results and his pending free agency and/or 5th year option cost. i don't think the value of darnold changes much (if at all) because stafford is on the market. it's not like a team that is looking at stafford (most likely a team built to win now and wants a veteran QB) is going to be in the market for darnold.

your options are generally hire a coordinator with no HC experience or a retread who more than likely got fired from him last job. we've gone both routes in the past and it's not exactly like there was a "bill parcells" available (and of course we had to trade for parcells). saleh at least seems to be at the top of the "hot" candidate list this time. not sure bowles had 7 teams looking to bring him in.

and if we develop minority coaches and front office personnel and they get hired, we get picks.

huh? so your position is that no GM can hire a head coach without 10 years experience. or does this criteria only apply to GM's who fire adam gase???

i didn't see it but what you describe sounds like a belichick press conference

i cannot say whether or not meyer would have gone to jax if they picked 2nd instead of 1st that said, i am very confident that meyer would not have been the jets coach if we had the 1st pick. i don't think douglas had any interest in him, and i highly doubt meyer had any interest in coaching the jets, even with TL and the #1 pick

it's also no coincidence the team located in florida who has no GM in place got meyer

perhaps you think "many said" that the #1 pick would have netted one of those coaches. but there is absolutely zero indication that this is reality. harbaugh did not want to leave michigan, cowher has no interest in returning to coaching, and meyer was never going to come to NY (and that is a good thing) but i'm glad many jets fans have yet another thing to bitch and complain about, even if it's not actually rooted in reality

there is no chance urban meyer would have taken the jets job. you think he wants to have to deal with the NY media market, let alone coach where he can't golf year round, let alone go to a team that has a GM already established who will be calling the shots? if you know anything about urban crier, you know the jets were never a desired destination of his. and to me, that's a good thing. not sure why we are sure a guy who has never been part of the pro game and who has already "quit" twice citing "medical reasons" when the going got tough, is the guy we want to turn around the jets.

how come all the jets 1st interviews were zoom (thought this was a league rule), but the eagles are able to conduct an in person 1st interview?

COVID (limits in person interviews) plus the season ended 5 days earlier last year

gus bradley was just announced as the raiders DC so i'm guessing at least that part of the tweet is just the author's guess would definitely be on board with saleh.

not sure i get the meyer-fields link. fields transferred to ohio st from georgia after meyer "retired".

it's official https://mgoblue.com/news/2021/1/8/manuel-announces-contract-extension-for-football-head-coach-jim-harbaugh.aspx?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fblrelease&utm_content=harbaughextension

fwiw - it's being reported/confirmed that harbaugh has signed his extension with michigan, although it may not be formally announced yet
