Robert Saleh Interview Discussion : MERGED

[BloodGreen 217]

I would think that if Saleh is getting a sit down with the owner, he is the guy that Douglas wants. Barring a Step Brothers-like interview with Johnson, it sounds like a done deal.

Depends upon how well Bill Belichick drafts in New England the next few years.

Bill as GM? Gase as HC?

I'm sure you're familiar-ish with all the cbt stuff, but catastrophize this sh*t... what is the actual worst case outcome?  That people make fun of you on jet nation dot com (they already do) or people give you crap next time you post some intel (they already do, and they will).  Other than that, get me to nuclear war here...

Been doing that since last night.  Really appreciate the serious recommendation.  You’re 100% right.  CBT is a genuine life-saver.

Breakfast.  You think Saleh is a bacon man or a sausage man?

..neither. he's a vegetarian.

Whether or not you believe Saleh is the guy, if the Jets do and allow him to leave without accepting the job - they are officially entering new depths of ineptitude.

This is actually what I'm expecting.

I also wouldn't be stunned to see he Jets trade out of 2, and draft someone like Mac Jones.  Not what I want, but won't be surprised.

Your living in fantasy land.We have too many needs to take a flyer on. Career backup. Which Mac Jones will be. Probably.

Because he arguably has the best overall team in the division and after the league got a ton of tape on what they do the Cardinals turned to dog sh*t.

We all appreciate yours and football guy’s information and take it for what it is. The guys who can’t handle it, and maybe there’s a few here, should seek help.

Yea I could definitely see that as well. I think Douglas is salivating at the thought of trading down and really showing off his scouting/draft skills.

Aside from the awkwardness of having 2 QBs and some drama that may ensue, if Sam balls out next year and proves us wrong, I'd have no problem trying to sign Sam long term and trade the rookie. Having 2 attractive QBs is never a bad thing. (That's assuming we don't get solid value for Sam during draft)

You're nice enough to share with us, thank you.

[Biggs 10,637]

If we hire him I would like a much more experienced OC than LaFleur.  I like that he worked for Shanahan who I think is a brilliant offensive coach but he really didn't have a ton of responsibility for that O.   Maybe an assistant but not the OC.

I'd imagine you would not make the selection of you think Jones is a career backup. Insert any other QBs name.

Oddly enough i think it’s encouraging that CJ wasn’t involved last night. Let JD run the show, have the owner come in the morning to write the check. Not sure if that’s how it was done last go around 

Do we know CJ wasn’t part of their dinner last night?  For all we know the dinner was just a social gathering getting to know everyone. 

Remember the report of Jets taking Darnold out to dinner, everyone was present ie GM, Asst GM, HC and CJ. Darnold then came back next day for meetings.

As for you other point, you mentioned letting us down.  First, you've already been proven right.  It's settled.  But, there's still a million variables in play, none of which you or your information has any control over.  What if Saleh doesn't like the Johnsons?  What if the money is no good?  What if Detriot calls and offers 25% more?  What if he decides he doesn't want to move his family across the country?  What if he bombs the 2nd interview?  None of this is on you, so stop being so narcissistic (joking, kind of, not really, ha).

And, anyone who is let down because your information didn't pan out into a signing ****s sheep.  And, I mean that.  Literally.

We'd just strip your press credentials and ship you off to Philly. But I can guarantee your physical safety.

Zona is on the up. Plenty of optimism there. We are at ground zero. 

8-8 optimism. Great.

That indicates nothing.

He may just be a nice guy, who in turn hires people who appreciate that about him. Their performance as an organization however, is a failure in every aspect. Being liked alone does not equate to success. A serious, informed candidate may see what's going on here and just decide it's not worth it (like Belichick did). 

[genot 2,583]

If Douglas doesn't draft a QB like Wilson or Fields. He's not drafting one. He'll sign one as a free agent to back up, or compete with Darnold. He drafted a QB last year.

I hope Bob Salad is interrogating the Jets and interviewing them. They have been a complete disgrace and no one in their right mind would come here without some reasons/plan as to what they will do differently as an organization.

Lenny Breau fan.  Hunh?  Jeez.  Haven't listened to that guy in years.  So sad he went the way he did.  I have a good documentary about him a friend gave to me.  I'm more a Charlie Christian/Grant Green man myself.  But those harp overtones Lenny did were something else.

Wow. My favorite poster. He did so many things that we're original and unique. What he could have accomplished musically, if he wasn't a junkie is beyond belief.

If you haven't seen the documentary... try and find it.  It's really good.  Chet Atkins cries in it over him.  Really puts being a musician in perspective.  Lenny was great at playing the guitar and doing drugs.  He just wasn't good at doing anything else.

I am not opposed to Saleh as HC. Maybe not super excited but I could see him being successful. 

My bigger problem is it seems like we are just retreating to what is comfortable and just hiring the hot DC with a different personality than the last one. 

It's like we dipped our feet in the offensive side of coaching (with the worst possible choice) failed and then we are just giving up and going back to what's comfortable.

Hopefully Saleh is different and will want a dynamic offense but I doubt it. If he brings LaFleur or McDaniel and plans to run the Shanahan offense then Wilson is a far better fit than Fields, especially considering his experience under center.

I understand the allure of trading back and getting lots of picks, but it just seems more logical to me that you draft a QB and have the 3 most important pieces all essentially with 4 year deals to get it done, and the QB under a rookie contract. 

I am also not sure that the choice between LaFleur and McDaniel is as important as the choice of QB coach. I would prefer Kafka if there is any truth at all to those rumours.
