JOJOTOWNSELL Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just listened to the Mike and the Mad Dog reunion hour they had down in Houston at the Super Bowl. They were talking about Pete Carroll and how Mike never could foresee how good of a coach he was going to turn out to be because he was immature during his time with the Jets. Then they segued over to Kotite and Mike dropped this bomb........"Kotite only got the Jets job because he performed the Heimlich Maneuver on Leon Hess!" It could've been a throwaway line but Dog finished his sentence for him which leads me to believe they both are under the impression that this is why Hess hired him! Anyone ever hear of this before?

glenn31 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 We also once had a head coach who could fart farther than his punter could punt. These are the days of our Jets lives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freemanm Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 During Kotite's introductory presser, I just remember him saying, "I don't have all the answers...l" As it turned out, I don't think he knew any of the questions either http://www.nytimes.com/1995/01/06/sports/pro-football-owner-fills-up-the-jets-empty-tank-with-kotite.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Philly D he inherited from Buddy was one of the most unsung D's I've ever seen. Coordinated by Bud Carson The owner wanted Kottite gone early on too, even tho they won early with him. And Joe Walton ran the O here pretty much. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What doomed Kotite was the awful coaching staff he assembled. His two best assistants with the Eagles were SP coordinator Larry Pasquale and Defensive Coordinator Bud Carson, neither returned with him to the Jets.

Like too many Jets' HCs, it was the Peter Principle; he was a decent coordinator but had no business being a HC. As to his deys, dems and dos, met some bent noses who talked like that, especially some old time bookies, who were way sharper than their speech pattern might lead you to believe. Would probably have a better evening in the company of Kotite than Noam Chomsky anyway. And to his credit understood when the axe came it was time to go, he got. He has done some radio work for the Eagles, but never coached again. And part of the reason he failed in Philly was a team split offense vs. defense because of the My Defense horsesheet of his predecessor.....Buddy Ryan.
