I am also curious as to why, he wants to sit out the season? to wait for a better job with a better organization with a better overall foundation...not rocket science here folks. We ARE the Jets.

docdhc Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It’s all speculation at this point. None of the insiders are in the room. I think the Jets still want interview everyone before offering the position anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinamite Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Or, the Jets chose not to give him a job and instead go through with their interviews. McCarthys agent then spins the " he is not interested" story. Just another possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite honestly, this would be better news than losing a coach of this caliber to another team (which might still happen). But if McCarthy isn't going to take the Jets job because he's not planning to coach anywhere in 2019 then no harm, no foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like buying a car you can't say that you love the car and have to have it, and you can't say that it's crap and you would never buy it It's best to say there is some good and bad but you just aren't sure yet..... We'll know soon enough but this reads like classic negotiations through the media to me Mccarthys weak spot is he only took 2 interviews. He needs to create a little more urgency in case the Browns and jets like other people It is entirely possible that neither job blows him away and he sits out The ravens situation is worth watching as well Harbaugh benched a healthy Flacco for Jackson. It's possible that if Jackson throws 2 picks and fumbles that the extension we heard about doesn't happen Nobody has been hired yet I think the first domino falls Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked a little bit with hollywood once upon a time as a screenwriter, and you'd be surprised how much importance agents place on being publicly perceived to have turned down the offer, over being turned down to hire.

More Cowbell Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 This all could be the Jets just want to perform there due diligence and interview the others. MM's agent may have floated this as something to make it look as of they are in the drivers seat. I know it seems like an alternate reality when the Jets act responsible but that might just be what we are seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 This is also why you cast a wide net. Imagine if the Jets were laser-focused on McCarthy and were not scheduling other interviews....then this news breaks. It would be pure panic around here. There are lots of good candidates out there. There can only be 32 head coaches in the NFL, no more, and I'd guess there are at least 80-100 guys in this country (college head coaches, NFL coordinators, etc.) that truly deserve a shot. Some guys seemingly come out of nowhere when you least expect it and become very good head coaches. If MM is truly off the list then I'd think the Jets top 3 are Kris Richard, Kliff Kingsbury (despite reports), and Adam Gase. I would hope Matt Rhule ends up in the mix. I also think Caldwell is still in there. It's wide open now. The guy who I think could end up being the best.....Adam Gase. I heard a radio interview yesterday morning where the question to an NFL analyst was, "Why was Adam Gase fired?" and the analyst said, "Purely about some control and power, and whether Miami should rebuild or try to win with veterans and some FA moves. I think Miami is going to have big regrets about firing Gase. There could be a strong case of 'sellers remorse' there and hindsight could prove that it was the wrong decision."

AL047 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If he's not interested it could be because of these things: 1) How many years he wants to coach the Jets 2) He wants to be involved in the selecting of players (Draft and Free Agency) with the GM 3) Even though they have QB Darnold,, he sees the Jets as a project and doesn't want to rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not crazy it's just the conflicting reports within 24 hours that seem like he's trying to drive the price up. First it's reported he's interested then boom he's taking a year off.
