ha !

good point

Imagine what this board would have been like if they had internet in '76? 

After the victory, Holtz whipped out sheets of papers and distributed them to the players.

''I've written a fight song,'' he explained. ''We're going to sing it after every Jets victory.''

The song, to the tune of ''The Caissons Go Rolling Along,'' started: ''Win the game, fight like men, we're together win or lose, New York Jets go rolling along.''

it's not that silly when you compare the talent levels of the teams.  imo kotite's teams had more talent.  they were misused.

Kotite's teams had way more talent.   Parcells had them at 9-7 the year after 1-15.

Both Kotite's teams and Bowles' teams have greatly underachieved.  Kotite did lead a team to the playoffs in Philly and they won their first playoff game in 12 seasons under him.

Bowles is a modern day kotite, he's actually worse than kotite.

the last offensive HC of the NYJ was Rich Kotite 

maybe that's why Tuna, Groh, Herm, Mangini, Rex and now Bowles have been defensive

by the way I am old enough to have lived through Kotite and that team had talent, they signed all sorts of free agents etc. Maybe they are just as bad coaches (they aren't) but in terms of resources, Kotite had Hess' full support while Bowles is building a bridge over the Hudson river with popsicle sticks.

The highlight of the Kotite years had to be the "shovel pass" from Bubby Brister that Sam Mills of the Panthers intercepted and returned for a TD. Was Panthers first franchise win that day, I believe.

One of the problems is that Bowles isn't a modern day anything - he believes in D and the O doing just enough to win (as long as they run the ball and don't turn it over). He is a dinosaur. Maybe if he coached in the Kotite era, he would be a modern day something...

The really sad thing about all of this is that the Jets had 

Charlie Winner

Lou Holtz (he proved out to be a pretty damn good coach at ND just did not fit the NFL)

Joe Walton 

Bruce Coslet

Rich Kotite

and Todd Bowles

This is like the Ring of Stupidity and Im sure Im leaving a few beauties out, not to mention that arguably one of the best coaches in the History of this league walked out on us in one day. This is why this organization sucks not because of players because of terrible coaching.

At least Herm made playoffs

Herm took over in 2001, a job no one wanted.  we had THREE HCs walk out on us from Jan of 2000 through January of 2001.  We had missed the playoffs 2 straight years and missed 8 of 9 years and just 2 times in 14 years.  we then made 2 straight postseasons and 3 of 4. The 3 postseasons in 4 years from 2001-2004 represent the ONLY 4 year stretch in our HISTORY where we made the playoffs 3 times.  From 1970-2018 the New York Jets have won a grand total of TWO AFC East titles, one of these div titles came in 2002 led by Herm.  In that 2002 season we became the ONLY non Pats team to win the AFC east title in a year where Brady was their primary starter.

He doesn't deserve a statue outside the Stadium, he's not a hall of famer but can we at least appreciate all the good he did while HC of the Jets? There is a space btw great and terrible.

3-13 and 1-15. Four wins in two years. Bowles won more games in a single season than Kotite did in two. A one win season is inexcusable. 

Please don't force me to defend Bowles.

in all fairness, kotite drafted some pretty good players.  as a coach he was terrible.

He cursed us all by picking a second TE in four year in the first round over Warren Sapp.  That was the most stupid stuff ever in the draft and considering all the vodou stuff Matt Millen did for Detroit it was an impossible feat to accomplish.

no doubt the kylre brady draft pick was a real head scratcher but at least brady lasted about 8 seasons and was a decent blocker.  worse picks have been made by better coaches.  but he also drafted keyshawn and signed chrebet as a free agent.  where is the keyshawn and chrebet on this team? maybe enunwa comes close but after him not so much.

Kotite has also made the playoffs and won a playoff game.  Times are different now, FA was at its infancy in Kotite's years. Teams get good and bad in a hurry now.  When Todd gets fired he will be the only coach in our history that was around at least 4 years and failed to make the playoffs
