They even brought up the conservative play calling as well as the positives of MM. Really good and objective discussion. Too brief though. lol They touched on a very important piece. The idea of having a developing coach with a developing QB is such an important and dangerous aspect of what we are considering. I see Rhule as a little bit more than that, but as far as the NFL experience goes, they have a point. Guys like KK would be a serious roll of the dice I don't want to take. It could be disastrous and I am going to be watching Arizona for more reasons than the Josh Rosen/ Darnold thing now. I'm incredibly curious to see how that turns out over there. I want McCarthy so bad. I'd take conservative play calling when we are winning by two TD's all day when you weigh that against the incredible positives McCarthy brings to the table. FOR GOD'S SAKES PLEASE GET THE GUY ALREADY!!! You're not winning in today's NFL with conservative play calling and poor clock management. Haven't we learned our lesson the last 4 years? Exactly how are we beating the Chiefs or Colts (the latest version) that way now or in the future - we aren't. That means we don't get to a Super Bowl.

Only thing I can think of that would stop him is family resistance. I know most people on here were born and raised in the NY area, and love it. It's not generally held in high regard as a place to live, and raise a family by people not from the area. IT really is a big deal. Like you said. I moved away 13 years ago.

Taught him to be adaptable and how to figure out schools and make friends quick. Helps that hes a friendly kid. McCarthy had been in GB for 13 years. Its not like hes moved all over the place for a decade. And with $10M a year, Im SURE he can find a good school for his kids. Man up, bro.

Honestly, and I just said this in another thread, I'm beginning to wonder if the whole search is a charade to soften the blow of hiring the guy who just failed with the Dolphins. This. If it's McCarthy at the end, I'll be shocked....maybe, just maybe, he had to go home and convince the family...but I doubt it. We're talking millions of $ here for a 55 yo guy that is approaching retirement age. Can't see the NYJ interviewing McCarthy and at the end telling him 'we'll get back to you after we interview Kliff Kingsbury and Mat Rhule'...and that's not to knock either of those two guys but rather than to opine that McCarthy is so much different than all the other 'interviewees'. You either want a HC with McCarthy's 13 yr pedigree or you don't. In the end, I think there was enough hesitance on both sides (family and the whatever concerns the Jets had) that this didn't happen. Guess we'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As funny as that story is, (and it is funny) I'm still amazed that its pretty much the narrative on this board. McCarthy was out of a job for a few weeks before the season ended. He claimed he was only interested in us or Cleveland. He and his agent had to do their due diligence on both franchises before he came to interview. But if you want to believe he walked into the facility and suddenly found dyed burnt strips of tofu, and ran out, that's fine. Go with it.

SR24 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I wonder if Mac and CJ were thinking before the interviews that it was McCarthys job to lose and the others guys scheduled we're just for the Rooney rule and to create a buzz.

Beerfish Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Some talent on a team can make the difference between a great innovative QB coach guru and a guy who the game has passed by. Examine Andy Reid and Mike McCarthy, very similar winning %, playoff records etc except mccarthy has won a super bowl. Reid looks like a genius because he has a great young Qb and some dynamic talent. When Reid left philly after some down years people wanted to bury him. I'll be fine with McCarthy or a few of the other guys. I just have about 3 DO NOT WANT guys in this list of coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 There has not been a peep from McCarthy on the taking a year off angle. Why has he not addressed it? It feels that it is too quiet, I'm guessing he is working out the final details. At least that is what I am hanging on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya. and don't disagree entirely. My point was in reference to the video where Jennings stated MM would tend to get conservative when they had a lead. I mentioned in my post that I would take it up by 14 points all day. That's the kicker I suppose. When we are kicking the snot out of teams in the first three quarters with efficient and effective play by our dominant O line, Running game and generational QB its more than ok to slow the game down. Just need some more those pieces huh? It's only when it's not working that conservative becomes an issue. When you are effective and efficient it's not even noticed. It's just winning. The Packers have been slowly depleting their talent over the past three seasons. Things get magnified when that happens. We generally don't know the whole story either on why things went the way they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll see. I fear that this is correct. Heres the thing, there are 8 jobs open this year, and they're getting filled quick. Mac turned down the Cards outright, had a meet scheduled with the Browns, which was then pushed back, and now kind of in limbo. I haven't heard any other teams announcing interviews with him. If he DIDN'T want to coach in 19, why interview at all? But with all of that being said, lets say he does hold out until next year....where does he go? What openings can you see? In no particular order.... Pete Carroll just got extended 2 years. McDaniels staying in NE to take over for BB. I dont see the staid Giants firing Shurmur....yet. Dallas? Nope. KC? LOL Buffalo? They seem all in with McDermott. Baltimore extending Harbaugh... LA, LA, Raiders, Chicago, Houston, Indy, Tenn, SF, NO? Don't see a coaching change for any of them. Jets, Miami, TB, GB(lol), Browns, Cincinatti, Cards....all going to hire a coach this year. Whats left? Atlanta maybe, with a veteran QB? Jacksonville? Is that what Mac is waiting for? Does he see Pitt firing Tomlin after '19 and going for the hometown gig? Right now, the Jets are tailor made for him. Emerging QB. Pliant and accommodating GM. Non meddling ownership, amd $100M roster to build a roster with. GB isn't hiring Mac back. Ever. Hes going to have to move unless he lives separated from his family, or retires from coaching. So if Mac turned down the job, its a huge mistake. And if the Jets would rather have a coach learning OTJ while trying to develop Sam (Rhule, Monken), or hire a guy that jusy got fired for FAILING to develop a QB (Gase), THEY are making a huge mistake. Get your sh*t together, guys and make this happen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, that's certainly a possibility. I'm not looking to argue, I was just pointing out there is also the possibility that he didn't blow the Jets away in that interview. I never bought into the idea that the Jets were blessed that he deemed them worthy, and they should have gratefully hired him for that reason.
