He served as a coaching intern with the Giants and Browns following a 10-year playing career. Boyer replaces Bobby April, who was fired last month after the Jets’ special teams faltered late last season. Boyer was a longtime special teams player for the Jaguars (1995-2000) and Browns (2001-03) and at one time served as a captain in both Jacksonville and Cleveland. He played in 129 career games.

Mainejet Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The Jets can't manage to get anyone decent in town. The HC throws the ST coordinator under the bus after the season as Mike Westhoff says and neglects putting any talent for the coordinator to work with on the team. So they resort to hiring a virtual unknown from the Colts. Sounds like another disaster waiting to happen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, who cares if it's an unknown, as long as he can coach. Let results speak for themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they resort to hiring a virtual unknown from the Colts. Sounds like another disaster waiting to happen.... We really cannot judge that move without knowing how the season went down, we just can't. On many occasions coaches (the oline is notorius for this) think they canmake chicken salad out of chicken sh*t. If Bobby april lobbied for Kerley, told the coahes he could work with quickly etc etc then he gets canned, as he should. We have no idea if April came to the team and complained of bad personell or not. I do share your concern about hiring an unknown but he hired a very well known and he did a lousy job, I don;t care whop he was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, who cares if it's an unknown, as long as he can coach. Let results speak for themselves They already hired a virtual unknown and gave him NOTHING to work with as Mike Westhoff claimed ad he's right. WTF is the point of hiring anyone if you plan on giving him sh*t to work with and 100% plan on blaming him for your own personal failures? Mike Westhoff speaks the truth and Jets fans ought to start to acknowledge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Westhoff speaks the truth and Jets fans ought to start to acknowledge it. Because, IMO, coaching ST is about coaching up backups to be the better STs they can be. Being a special teams player isn't a draftable position. You have to coach them into that role. Hence, coaching is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I said he should be fired because he's an embarrassment to the franchise and a crappy coach. I was right. As for Ducasse, you got me mixed up with someone else.

Mainejet Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Because, IMO, coaching ST is about coaching up backups to be the better STs they can be. Being a special teams player isn't a draftable position. You have to coach them into that role. Hence, coaching is important NFL front offices draft players with special teams in mind all the time. In fact, most of the late round picks selected by front offices have developing players at a given position assuming they can stick with the team on special teams.

I do share your concern about hiring an unknown but he hired a very well known and he did a lousy job, I don;t care whop he was given. I'm not debating the firing, Beerfish. If you don't do your job, you deserve to be fired and I'll be the first person to say that. But I also see very clearly what Jets fans are all about. If it strokes the team then they are all about it, Westhoff is wonderful. He's the best ST coach ever. He belongs in the Hall of Fame. And so on. But if he decides to criticize the team? Suddenly he's this bad guy that needs to be put in his place. It's just so predictable. Fact is, Mike Westhoff is revered figure it Jets lore. He should have gotten an interview to be HC. He knows more about Jets football than you or I will ever know. If he spent any more time on the sideline even after his retirement, he could be a paid consultant. He's right here and posters ought to realize it. You get out ONLY what you put in. I'm excited about what Mike MacCagnan is doing, I really am. But he neglected ST during the offseason. Todd Bowles needed someone to blame when he laid an egg against the Jets new arch nemesis and missed the playoffs. In fact, he got b*tch slapped twice by Rex. So, YES, I very much believe that Todd Bowles made Bobby April the fall guy. When the fact is, the Jets seasons ending loss in Buffalo had MUCH more to do with piss poor coaching strategy on the part of Todd Bowles than it had to do with terrible special teams. It was terrible all year for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was westoff a delux st coach or did he benefit form having leion washington on the field? i will also say that you should totally separate the coach westoff from the media guy westoff.
