Woody is so in over his head that he is swayed by every little media report out there. Not that I wanted Marrone as coach, but it's still bad. Costello buried the lede. That anyone, much less an NFL owner, would give a sheet about what Manish Mehta thinks about anything is the real story. Basically Johnson ignored the advice of the guys he paid to advise him because of utter nonsense written by a nonentity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Johnson ignored the advice of the guys he paid to advise him because of utter nonsense written by a nonentity. I don't see it. He was already interviewing with the Jets when the Mehta piece came out. Mehta supposedly killed him because he was upset at the lack of access he would have because Cimini is a Syracuse guy. He got hooked up with some knucklehead reporter from Buffalo that hated Marrone. I think Marrone was a bad interview and I think Woody is a bit concerned about that when dealing with the NY media. I bet Woody was afraid of the tampering charges - you can see it in this article that Marrone supposedly opted out because the Jets interest was conveyed through "back channels." Sounds like tampering with a coach under contract. The thing I find amusing is that the Jets supposedly had this big London Monarchs reunion scheduled for Marrone and Maccagnan. If I have the timeline correct, they interviewed Marrone on January 3, and didn't hire Maccagnan until January 13, hiring Bowles hours later.

AFJF Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I hated the idea of Marrone when he left Buffalo, but thought Jax got him at a good time. Head coaches need time to reflect on previous screw ups after their first gig IMO. We saw how great Mangini and Rex did when they left here. Both perfect examples of guys who had to make changes to their approach and some time off would have given them time to think about that. Marrone got some time to reflect while he was an OL coach in Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marrone got some time to reflect while he was an OL coach in Jax. I think all these guys would benefit from some time off between gigs. Mangini and Rex in particular got 2nd jobs so quickly that they did not learn from their mistakes. Marrone probably learned from his (opting out) which was less egregious from a coaching standpoint.

varjet Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 From everything I read, I think Marrone was the Jet's first choice for HC. Don't go by the Macc hire date-they were all in the cue. Woody was likely influenced by a bad interview and bad press. Arthur Blank then grabbed Quinn. Bowles shows some competence at times, but like with the Jets getting Rex and the Ravens getting Harbaugh, the Jets are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Did anyone hear the accusations about this on the Kay show yesterday? Kay claims that Manish launched an anti-Marrone campaign because Marrone was close to several writers from the post and so the News would be on the outside looking in.

No one's saying Marrone is the next Bellichek but to not hire him because Mehta wrote a nasty article speaks volumes to Woody as an owner. Now I'm not trying to protect Woody. But we're relying on current media articles written about another media hack's past articles influencing a billionaires business decisions. I may be a bit naive but I find it extremely difficult to believe Woody would lend much credence to a newspaper scribe in making his decisions. I'm sure it was a combination of things and we need to discount what Michael Kay said because Kay and Marrone are friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
