Mr. Coffee needs to go. For no other reason than a truly top fight coaching candidate with other job offers will NOT sign here knowing his "boss" is operating under a WIN NOW mandate. Mr. Coffee SHOULD go because he doesn't deserve to stay (he deserves as much blame as Low-Energy Todd), but he MUST go because we won't get the best candidate available.

I was scanning through and surprised no one mentioned McDaniels. I realize it is a long shot considering BB's hatred for the Jets, but it would be negligence not to kick the tires and see if he was interested. I don't think a better candidate exists. He checks all the boxes and already has HC experience.

This is no surprise. Woody wants a London game while he is the U.S. ambassador to the UK.

Mac is an unmitigated drafting disaster. He didn't trade up to draft Sam Darnold. He traded up and lucked in to Sam being there. They never actually thought he would be available. And let's not forget, in 2017 Mac drafted Jamal Adams instead of Pat Mahomes or Deshaun Watson because he thought Hackenberg was going to be our franchise QB.

Tom Brady doesn't have a cannon arm and he does ok...

Kotite wasn't technically fired mid-season but it was publicly announced that he would not be coming back with 2 or 3 games left to go in 1996. I forget exactly how they worded it.

No NFL fan base loves their retreads quite like this one. At least we've seemingly moved on from wanting to resign Braylon Edwards... baby steps.

Agreed. Allen has shown more in 2 games than Hack showed in 2 years. But still not half as much as Brett Ratliff showed in his first two games... This is all meaningless. I'm old enough to remember Browning Nagle lighting it up as the Jets went 5-0 in the 1992 preseason followed by a 4-12 regular season...

My guess that this will be a pretty drastic redesign. I'm not happy about that - i love the 1998-2018 uni era but 20 years was a good run - uniform-wise at least. I just hope they stay with green and white and nothing else. Third colors with green as a primary are limited. We've done black. We don't need to do that again. The early 90s are dead and buried. Grey/silver is already taken (eagles) as is yellow (packers). The last unofficial "third" color was that experiment with the yellowy-green accent of the Generation Jets era. I don't want that either.

If only Copper Fit existed when he played.

I don't have a narrative. But I can tell you with certainty that drafting Mayo instead of Gholston would not have dramatically changed the fortune of this franchise. Gholston was the 6th pick in what was considered at the time a five player-deep top of the draft class. However, if the Jets picked Cortez Kennedy or Junior Seau or Emmitt Smith instead of Blair Thomas in 1990....? That is what defines an immortal bust. Missing out on a franchise changing talent. That simply did not happen with Gholston.

A very good player made better by the team he was on. Definitely would have been a better pick but not exactly passing on Marino or Sapp... POSSIBLY.

I don't think it was the worst pick ever, but Hack can now join our Mount Rushmore of 2nd round disasters from this decade: Christian Hackenberg Devin Smith Jace Amaro Stephen Hill

My God - We had two first round picks in the 1995 draft and selected Kyle Brady #9 and Hugh Douglas #16. Douglas was a very good player and Parcells should never have given him away... But... Tampa Bay also had 2 picks in the first round. They picked Warren Sapp #12 (who we should have selected - not hindsight, it was an outrage at the time). They also selected Derrick Brooks #28. Both are in the HoF now. Has any team ever had a better first round than Tampa in 95?

If the Jets picked any of those guys at #6 they would have been laughed at of the building. The possible exception is Mayo or Clady - both guys who are out of the league and not going to Canton anyway. I could only imagine what the reaction would have been if with the #6 pick the Jets picked Jordy Nelson. LOL.
