Stonehands Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 He must be a heck of a coach for us to put up with this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 This is the guy credited for keeping Maybin in the game - simplifying things for him and working with him personally. There was a piece about him back around the 2nd Buffalo game. He sounded like a one of those young up and coming works 24 hour a day coaches. I'm glad we are keeping him.

GREENBEAN Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Good stuff. He's the Maybin fixer. I would love to see even more playing time for Maybin in 2012 and this move may help that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 He must be a heck of a coach for us to put up with this crap. guy was trying to advance his career. Jets probably understood. I mean if someone wanted him as DC (or whatever his title would have been it was an advancement over the Jets), how could someone be mad he took it? Just because he went doesn't mean he went and pissed the Jets off. All these coaches have been in the same situation. They get it. Now it turns out they packaged his same job (most likely) with a cooler title and he figured that didn't do him much good. WVU may be upset, but there is no reason why NYJ should be.

It's because the Jets have no loyalty, duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
