billo83 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Started thinking about this today and this is one of the major problems. There's no one in the FO who is experienced enough to fix the issues and have any sense of direction. Woody has not hired anyone with prior experience in their respective position in the most critical areas (Head Coach, GM, Team President). Even most of the Coordinators didn't have any prior experience at the position (Sutton and Schitty specifically come to mind). Herm didn't even have experience as a DC and Mangini only 1 year as a DC. You can't hire that many newbies to run the show and expect stability and direction. It's like fielding a team comprised of all rookies. There may be a lot of talent there, but no one with experiece to lead. I think Rex could be a decent coach if he had an experienced GM to run everything outside of the D. It's very apparent that this team is a clusterf*ck with no organization, direction, and leadership which is a result of never hiring anyone with solid experience. I don't think it needs to be a household name like some people are suggesting like Polian, Cowher, or Gruden. Just get someone who has some experience in their role. I'm sick and tired of these 1st time HC's and GM's. The experiment has failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I agree that this has been a big problem since Woody has bought the team. I'm not sure why he gives no names and unprovens like Joe Walton and Bruce Coslet a try. Woops wrong idiot owner. But you get my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walton and Coslet should have been fired years before they were and then he fires Petey after one friggen season. Then he hires Kotite after he was a total disaster in Philly. This team has never had compentent ownership that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDynamite Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 And Sparano never actually was the OC in Dallas, even though he called plays there in 2006. They couldn't wait to replace his play-calling with Jason Garrett in 2007. So Tony is another noob...... BD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I prefer the up & comer route. Rarely do retreads exceed, or even match, their previous success. The hot scout, coordinator, that's the way I'd go again for the next GM, head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Bill Cowher actually laughed at a reporter when he was asked about possibly leaving the booth to coach the New York Jets. That's the feeling out there, it's all about the clueless and gutless owner who holds no one accountable. He's also the guy who during the lockout stopped paying all of the little people in the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 flip side there is a reason retreads were fired or burned out in the first place I say no to cowher, he still thinks he is a steeler, still says "we" I bet he's waiting to go back, don't be a stop gap for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TannenRex personnel meetings must be similar to watching the Kardashian sisters discuss nuclear fission. That means dumping Tannenbaum and Bradway. And for what ever the reason Johnson doesn't seem inclined to do that. And both are resilient: Tannenbaum ahs beem here since Parcells, Bradway since 2000. Which mean both have managed to survive despite Groh, Edwards, Mangini and now Ryan turn to poop. And look at that list; 4 guys all with defensive backgrounds in an NFL based increaingly on offense and especially passing offense. That's the Bradway/Tannenbaum legacy, not only going against the grain but pretending the conventional wisdom of their industry doesn't matter despite their own failures going against it.

All good points. It will take someone grabbing Woody by the collar and forcing Bill Polian on him, I think. Easiest move ever for an owner--hire an old hand to build the team and stay out of his office--but I don't think Woody could handle that. It might cost him his weekly Fox appearances.

Easiest move ever for an owner--hire an old hand to build the team and stay out of his office--but I don't think Woody could handle that. It might cost him his weekly Fox appearances. NBC had Woody with wife #2 and the kids giving that Thanksgiving greeting. It seems that nonsense, the headlines, the trappings, the bullsheet are what matter to him, not winning. He's a spoiled brat, has no sense of delayed gratification, has everything handed to him and is surrounded by sycophants of which Tannenbaum clearly is one.He has never worked toward a long-term goal, he flits from big idea to big idea until he gets bored. SImply he was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple. He is not going to throw out a yes man to bring in someone who tells him to stay out of the office. Every owner has input. Heck, the Tisch/Mara bunch deposed Accorsi when they got the sense he was less about football than he was schmoozing with the Mike Lupicas of the world. Buy Johnson is far beyond that kind of necessary involvement. Why is the owner feuding with Joe Namath? Why is on the field every halftime? Why is he on TV with his tropy wife and kids? It's way worse than Hess. Hess at least was a self-made man who tried to get it right and didn't really unil the end. Perhaps had Hess been as ruthless as an owner as he was a businessman it might have been very different. But Johnson is none of those things. He's a rich kid with a big bank account out to make his mark or some nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hot scout, coordinator, that's the way I'd go again for the next GM, head coach. I understand what you are saying, but for this franchise I couldn't disagree more. Before Rex, you'd have to go back to Walt Michaels for a 1st time HC for the Jets that was truly successfull. The up and comer route works for teams with compentent ownership, like the Giants and Steelers (the Giants recent success inronically is with a retread). The Jets are a mess right now and need discipline, direction, and overall good football knowledge and I think that can only be found with a seasoned football man.If anything, the Jets have proved they can't find up and comers, much like they can't find a franchise QB.

What better place to make a name for youself or add to your legacy than turning around this train wreck? Parcells times all his reclamation projects well, taking over a team whose roster he could quickly overhaul, often with a #1 type pick. The Jets cap situation is fvcked for next year. Anyone taking the Jets job this offseason will do so knowing their hands are essentially tied for 2013. Also, Parcells had less and less success with every stop. Champion on the Giants, Lost Super Bowl with Pats, lost AFC Champ with Jets, Cowboys, fish.... He's a poster boy for not hiring a retread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a rich kid with a big bank account out to make his mark or some nonsense. . I actually think Hess was a worse owner as far as decisions he made. He kept Walton and Coslet around way too long, fired Michaels (one of the best Jets HC's) after getting to the Championship game, and hired Kotite, repeat Kotite. He fired Petey after only one season so he could hire his buddy. Hiring Parcells wasn't even his idea to begin with. "I want to win now" with Rich Kotite says it all.

Oh believe me I'm no Tuna fan, especially after quitting on the Jets and hand picking his successor Boobway. He's probably the most overrated football man out there. But I stand by what I said, if (and that's a big if) Woody gives the GM full control of the team there would be people lined up out the door to take the job.

As far as Cowher, he didn't want to come here initially because he wouldn't have full control. That is what needs to change to get a good GM in here.

jack48 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 there are not so many NFL head coaching jobs that a competent HC could not be found and hired. Problem is Woody is not the guy to make the call. And if he cannot make the call, he should not make the call on who should advise him to make the call. Maybe a quiet, backchannel approach to the league would land him a recommendation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
