If they didn't want to buyout, why go through the hassle and set yourself up for criticism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 No problem with the Jets here. No way they could trust him to bring in the right staff. He’s such a huge unknown - this was a smart decision. Can’t blame Rhule either. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is a fact anyone who is recruited to play LB at Penn State and then wins one of those jobs is a tough SOB. it's pretty much all they do in Happy Valley besides touch little boys. Ok my bad. I’m still baffled though. Rhule wasn’t qualified. Darnold’s going to thrive with Gase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut tells me we'll be talking about his name the way Pete C's gets floated around in the - "what if--" capacity... but it is what it is, and it's time to get behind Gase and hope it works out.

But I also understand the Jets ensuring that Darnold has a good coach given the lack of experience with Rhule in NFL. If Rhule's option was Kevin Gilbride's son for OC, (TE coach for bears currently) as was rumored that may not have sufficed. If you want to pick his staff, you should have never considered him in the 1st place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My concern with Gase begins with a lack of professionalism and some baffling sideline behavior. He scratches his neck like a weirdo when things don't work out. Yes he is a good possibility very good qb coach or oc. But his offense was statistically garbage. As a hc he was flawed and while I am all for second chances, he never had time away from the game to reflect or grow. I'm not convinced that the hc should be be calling plays not everyone is Andy Reid or Mcvay. If rhule had too much preference on his hires how is it better gase has no preference on the staff? Or he wanted guys Mac approved? How is that good? Ok my bad. I’m still baffled though. Rhule wasn’t qualified. Darnold’s going to thrive with Gase.

A 4 win season can't be sold as a learning curve, whereas with Rhule it could. So either we win or the incompetent GM goes and takes his Pennington look alike with him. Jets fans win either way. If you view Mac as the biggest problem here and one of the worst GM's in football, this is a way better move imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 2 hours ago, bitonti said: In this instance I'd trust Matt Rhule to turn this program around. As long as it's not Gilbride SR we all could fall in line (just like we are doing for Gase) and maybe they find an actual QB coach (for a change) if they hired Rhule-Gilbride and Chad Pennington to develop Darnold the fans would love it instead they hired Gase the fans revolted now they are looking at Big name DCs like Williams to smooth it out Side note I'm not a huge subscriber of the HC has to call the plays in the game and also do all the other HC jobs at once. Rhule could have turned this thing around they decided they knew better. The worst part of the Johnsons is they think they know better. And who are they taking advice from? Mac Other owners don't know football they stay out of the way, these guys want to make an impact. Shoot man i don't sit here trying to invent the Q tip again. Everyone should stick to their core competencies. the Johnson's know nothing about football and think they know everything that's the worst problem with the NY Jets. First, it's comical that you think "turning around" Temple is equivalent to turning around an NFL team when the cultures and players involved are completely different. Second, you didn't answer the question. Rhule wanted a TE coach with no coordinator experience to be the OC and in charge of developing Darnold. Do you think it was wrong of the Jets to say "no" and suggest Monken in that situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you trust the guy enough to give him the job but not trust to him decide on his staff. I will never believe this was anything other than a Mac power play It's pathetic that the Jets even considered Rhule, who in no way fit the criteria of the HC they needed. I agree it was a power play by Mac. Rhule made absolutely no sense for the Jets. A rookie HC wanting a rookie OC to develop a young franchise QB is absurd. As you said, if you dont trust him to fill his staff you shouldnt even consider him as your HC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dodged a bullet which is why I'm happy with Gase as I really thought Rhule was going to be the guy. I'd have been open to the concept of him or Klingsbury had we been the Ravens or Steelers with a strong organization and talent pool to support them as they learned on the job. Bringing them to this dumpster fire was a sure fire disaster imo Agreed. Rhule does not have a single, discernible NFL HC quality that distinguishes him from any of the other coaching candidates. He's not an offensive guy or a defensive guy because he's never run his own unit. He's never designed an offense or a defense. He was an Assistant OLine coach for the Giants for 1 year which meant he carried the water bottles for the OLine and collected their dirty uniforms. He might succeed with a team with an established QB, but I believe that he'll have a lot of trouble convincing a locker room filled with millionaires to listen to what he says simply because he "turned around" a couple of second-rate college programs.

Why, because he wasn't an offensive coordinator for two years like McVay? Check out what McVay's resume vs. Ruhle's. Tell me the difference, McVay wasn't a HC, he did position coaching and obviously OC in NFL. Ruhle was coaching Offense, defense, QB coach and OC in college. Your point that he wasn't qualified doesn't hold water. I get if you don't like the guy or isn't your choice but he was definitely qualified. So much so I believe he was their 1st choice.
