GreenFish Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Monken is my preferred candidate. He’s as innovative on offense as any coach we’ve brought in, seems to be a normal person, has HC experience, has NFL experience, and his players seem to like him. There’s nothing about Monken the really worries me. Even with a coach like McCarthy, I’m worried the NFL has lapped him. I get a Bates vibe. Bates was supposedly innovative and then he wasn’t. The other guys feel like shots in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This should be the guy. Checks pretty much every box. If McCarthy is out this is the next best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If Monken was so good, the Bucs would have hired him. The commitment to not hiring from within seems a bit short sighted for such an apparently fantastic candidate.

However I think the Bucs' ownership is worried about the optics of promoting from within since they had already done so when they hired Koetter.

I can admit, I'm not totally in love with any candidate this year, but Monken definitely falls on the positive side for me, and is one I'm certainly interested in. Most of the things that continue to come up about him also seem to be positive, which just reassures my initial thoughts. I can get the interest of some wanting a guy with past NFL HC experience, but beyond that he definitely seems to have everything else you'd be looking for. Definitely wouldn't be unhappy if he ends up being the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's anything worth getting too hung up on, particularly when you're talking about a fellow team with a less than stellar track record in their decision-making. The Jets interviewed 6-year internal candidate Anthony Lynn a few years back, and instead opted for Todd Bowles. Anyone really think that the Jets had any great inside info that made it the right decision? No, didn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is the interview, I hope he impresses. I want McCarthy out of all of them but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. I’d definitely prefer Monken, at this point, over Rhule and KK.

peekskill68 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I like Monken. I just see it as too big a step to expect KK or Rhule to come into New York with minimal NFL exposure and fix this mess. Especially attached to an iffy GM. IMO even Monken with decent NFL experience would need a Wade Phillips NFL lifer type to help run the team and assemble a staff...

With how that offense performed this year you'd think he'd almost be a lock for the job. I wonder if they had known Arians was a lock from the beginning? Maybe they think someone with more experience can get more out of Winston? Idk seems weird but he's my #1 pick for the job so I'm hoping it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine he'd have little trouble assembling his own offensive staff, but I agree an assist on the defensive side would be key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, you have pulled a complete 180 with Mike McCarthy. Glad to have you on the McCarthy bandwagon. I remember you hated the idea of Mike McCarthy as the next Jets head coach...It was John Harbaugh or Matt LaFleur for you. It will be interesting to see how good Matt LaVay does in Green Bay.

Warfish Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Of the names I've heard reporting, he may rate 2nd behind McCarthy for the various factors and experience I prefer in our next Head Coach. This really isn't a very good year for finding an experienced Head Coach once you exclude or miss out on McCarthy. I'm still convinced chasing the "next McVay" is a fools errand, a reach-failure waiting to happen. But the options I would be comfortable with aren't exactly many. As so often seems the case, the Jets appear to be chasing trends, and I fear we're going to wind up with what usually happens when you chase trends after the fact. I wish I knew who the right choice is. But we need to right this ship. IMO that's going to require someone with gravitas, experience, strength of personality, discipline and accountability, and a record of having actually done something of note in this league, esp. winning. A small-school college "players coach" coach or coordinator with no or limited pro-level resume trying to prove "his system" works at the pros seems like a disaster waiting to happen. So Monken may be the only available decent #2 option, despite missing a goodly portion of what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably my favorite as well. I also heard that the Bucs decided against an internal hire at the beginning of this process after hiring their OC last time didn't work out (the coach they just fired was thier OC the year prior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
