Albert Breer says keep an eye on this coach for Jets vacancy

[HawkeyeJet]

Arthur Smith.  Breer has a good sense about these things and if I recall correctly was early in Gase being a possibility then getting the job last go round.  Also mentions Campbell and Brady. FWIW he's saying his "favorite candidates" for the job so that could mean multiple things, but usually when reporters use "someone to watch", that's a hint.

 

[Sarge4Tide]

I learned the other day that Arthur Smith's father is the founder of FedEx or some big mega company

Could be wrong, but I heard that somewhere

That is correct. FedEx

[slimjasi]

If Matt Campbell is interested, that’s a potential game changer for me 

[kdels62]

Albert Breer is legitimately connected. Benjamin Allbright has made a career of having a name similar to him and people getting confused.

[bla bla bla]

Daboll is still tops on my list but I'd be very happy with Smith as well.

So then he must be a jerk because that’s the logic being used about Zach Wilson and his uncle running JetBlue 

[Untouchable]

Breer has mentioned Campbell and the Jets for months.

Maybe after canning Macc and bringing in Douglas he’s had a change of heart since two years ago.

[playtowinthegame]

Arthur Smith and the Tennessee Blueprint. 

[Integrity28]

Isn’t Breer the one that was saying watch Marvin Lewis?

[Patriot Killa]

Arthur Smith would be a great hire!!

[Icer]

I love all three. Sign me up

[Skeet Ulrich]

Not a fan. Only been OC for 2 years, young, essentially going to be learning on the job. The Jets can't afford to get this wrong.

I could be wrong but I don't think so.  I am not sure I've actually seen any of the main NFL insider types actually mention Lewis for the Jets.  Daniel Jeremiah mentioned him as a name that would have buzz, but not for any specific job.  I think some assumed that meant the Jets because if his connection to Douglas.

I thought it was a thread here, but am probably wrong.

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Idk how I feel about Smith.

He brings up Campbell for the Jets literally every time he does one of those things. He could just be guessing though, who knows.

[FidelioJet]

ew.

[FidelioJet]

I must say...

Before the big, milestone win. - The Jets were connected to Cower, Harbaugn and a slew of big time college HC's.

Two short weeks later it's a slew of JAG OC's.

Why?? We've gotten it wrong basically for 50 years with the exception of Parcells. Im more concerned that @SAR I will run out of room on his rookie coaches banner.  John Harbagh, McVay Mike Tomlin come to mind as good coaches that jumped to the front of the line.

All baseless speculation. The Cowher thing came out of Boomer saying Cowher liked the Jets current situation, and the Harbaugh thing came out fans fantasies.  

[C Mart]

No connection to Douglas. Not saying that eliminates candidates but think that’s the way he’ll end up going. 

[KRL]

All good options

Is he a JAG OC?  The Titans were 10th in offense last year, 3rd this year.

It's all noise until we hear from Peyton...

• Matt Campbell is the top choice and the best possible coach for us.

• Joe Brady, Arthur Smith, Don Martindale are very good Plan Bs.

• Brian Daboll & Robert Saleh would be right up there with them, but they’re not realistic for us.

• Marvin Lewis, Greg Roman, Eric Bienemy meh. Could be worse but mehhhh.

• Matt Eberflus, Joe Woods, Patrick Graham, Dennis Allen, Leslie Frazier hells no!

• Wild Cards —> Mike McDaniel, Dan Mullen, Doug Pederson

Baseless or not...

Before the big win that is sure to carry momentum into next season..

The speculation was legitimate coaches - - the speculation now is JAG OC's.  Wether the speculation is real or imagined it is, in fact, the case

Just pointing it out is all...

Two weeks ago was also the easiest draft choice imaginable.

Jets went from having a desirable head coaching opening with a no-brainer selection at #1 to... 

JAGs and other risky candidates for HC and way, WAY too many choices for a self-destructive franchise with the #2 pick.

The #2 overall is a complete mess.

[Charlie Brown]

If it is Smith I believe that they are keeping Sam Darnold; because he has some experience in turning around Gase's messes and understanding the approach that was used by Adam Gase hence he could help with the transition

Yes.  He's a JAG until proven otherwise.

I know whole bunch of OC's that were good for more than one year and terrible coaches.  

Two years ago he was a TE's coach.  4 years ago he was the assistant TE coach. 

I'll pass.

Very much in agreement. The only difference I have is Marvin Lewis would be with the Plan B's. how soon people forget just how successful he was in Cincinnati. His main problem was his affinity for hard cases. He had too many high maintenance players on his Cincy teams, but I doubt JD would allow that to happen under his watch. 

[32EBoozer]

Well he certainly is moving up the pecking order. OL & TE Coach to OC. I like that he understands how to coach OL and getting TE involved in the offense. A good running game and line is essential to whoever is going to be our QB.

Well if no one hires him how will he be able to prove it?

That is some dumb logic.
