Completely disagree - part of the reason you interview candidates is to find out how they think, and who they want on their staff. There are only a handful of current nfl coaches who should be given complete trust in assembling staffs without scrutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, Gase is the man now, and we'll all have to root for him. And we all will. What you're doing now is like trying to argue that Macc never wanted Cousins, he always wanted Darnold and knew he'd get him. Ever a cursory look at the course of events shows that to be false.

redlichtie Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 10 minutes ago, Augustiniak said: I think McCarthy thought he was more than a cut above the other coaching candidates being interviewed for all these openings, and thought he could position himself as the best by saying he would only take the jets job. He was probably very surprised when mccagnan and Johnson were asking him about who his staff would be - McCarthy probably thought he had earned the right not to be asked these questions. Loyalties to crappy assistants helped derail bowles and the jets are rightfully concerned that the next coach doesn’t make the same mistakes. The head coach is merely an employee and the owner and gm have every right to know who the hc wants as assistants. Exactly right, Chris Johnson still signs their paychecks....not McCarthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, this is clearly coming from McCarthy's camp, tho. Also, it doesn't seem to jive with what is happening now. For instance, are we to believe that the Jets forced the little guy from Miami on Gase? Greg Williams? Additionally, while McCarthy's camp is currently pretending that discussions "broke down" over the coaching staff, before the Jets hired anyone, we were hearing that, among the available openings, the Jets job was the only one that McCarthy was interested. i.e. This content of this article is probably doodoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 And I am not sure why some of you are easily swayed to assume the worst. You guys fill in your own SOJF facts to feed your SOJF narrative. Perhaps they had SOME interest in McCarthy but informed him about their personal demands about the coaching staff and the two sides went their separate ways. We have ZERO proof that McCarthy was the Jets #1 choice. We have no proof that Gase was the Jets #1 choice. There was a process going on. We were considering a number of candidates. What we do have proof of is that we hired Gase and appear to be letting Gase bring in his own OC. So the notion that Mac needed to pick all of his own people seems to already have been debunked.

How can you say Mac is overseeing who his assistants are, if Gase is bringing the elite Loggains. And the DC is probably going to be Williams, which I'm sure they both agreed on, with potentially Joseph if he didn't get the job in Arizona. Who they also probably agreed on. Since potential assistants are a part of an interview, McCarthy and Rhule did not bring good names to the table. Gase's list was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Macc totally snowed the Johnsons to protect his own power. No surprise. Still think Gase will work out.

And if he was looking to bring in Philbin & McAdoo that wasn't going to change. The Jets have every right to be concerned about who was going to be coaching Darnold. Fans should be happy to hear this, look how Bates stifled the offense last year. Would you want that with the next coach? KRL I don't think that we should be happy. I actually find it quite problematic at best based on the last 20 years!! The Jets forced Ted Cottrell on Herm Edwards which undermined him. Schotty was forced to be kept on by Mangini and "picked" for Rex. Keeping Shotty HURT the Jets in IMO and unless you really understand the game, picking coaches and disparate personalities when you don't know what you are doing is foolhardy and something IMO, based upon past performance, should definitely avoid by the Jets. Think then realizing that they were silly in their overreaching they then let good old Todd Bowles assemble a coaching staff that some High Schools would be embarrassed by....... and we wonder why HC candidates now are questioning what the heck is going on? Indeed what is the Jets philosophy of creating a staff and why do they want to pick assistants beyond the obvious reasons? For example are they trying to develop quality assistants like Reid has? So no for one I am not happy about how they go about running the Jets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icer Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Talking to candidates and getting a sense of their chosen assistants and having some feedback for that is being way blown out of proportion.

I would think a coach would like having a direct line to the top, especially if the GMs qualifications are in question. And yeah, maybe the Jets hierarchy didn't want to hear names like Philbin & McAdoo and didn't want them around Sam. Especially since he operated under the same reporting system in GB. It wasnt a problem going into the interview, wasnt a obstacle, didnt stop him from announcing to all that it was the only job he would consider. He didnt get the job and now, BAM, he had issues with the setup and it wasnt him, it was Philbin and McAdoo?

MS jets Fan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Well it was no different when Rhule wanted to do the same thing. Well it's obvious that the FO wanted to have say on everything. So in the end Gase was the more flexible choice to make. I still wanted McCarthy over Gase but CJ made the decision it's his decision to make so that's that Gase is the coach.
