Time to put your name on it….Is Robert Saleh a good Coach?

[Reasonable Jets Fan]

Best coach they have had, maybe ever... Rex Ryan is overrated... He lost games he shouldn't have... And his defense couldn't close games...

Weeb was before my time... 

 

[Warfish]

I have interest in firing him at this time.  

[Beerfish]

Too early to tell and to make a judgement now after a big win would be just as faulty as making judgement after a bad loss.

So far pretty good, but like many a young coach he has to get better as well.

[Trotter]

Short answer - yes.

Significant growth on the field and handling the media since as little as 5 weeks ago.

I had my doubts and was critical. He is proving those to be wrong.

Going to be careful because I do not want to be a mush - but future looking very bright.  

 

[OtherwiseHappyinLife]

He’s a good coach.  Him and Joe D share a philosophy and that is building a solid foundation over short term wins.

When JD came, he traded away (often overrated) assets that cost us some cheap wins the last 2 years but allowed us to get guys like AVT, G Wilson & Breece Hall.

When Saleh came in, he started a lot of young guys to get the type of experience that is now paying off. 

We are not just in good shape now.  The foundation has been set for the next few years.

Nah I’m not ready to make any proclamations but so far so good after a rocky start and a rough year last season......

Still a lot of football left, let’s see how we finish down the stretch

Right here big boy:

[Reasonable Jets Fan]

Time management problems... NO

Players play hard for them... YES

Players play better than they are suppose to.. Seems that way... 

Dumb penalties tend to get corrected..., most of the time. 

Saleh doesn't favor off or Def but manages the coaches... 

Knows to deflect blame from the players to himself

Doesn't single out players through media... 

Knows how to deal in a social media Era. 

Doesn't have a static position on going for it on tough calls.. 

Knows how to use the challenge flag. 

Has a training routine that seems to give players more energy then the rest late in games... 

Has a great 4th quarter team... 

When has this ever been said about a Jet coach EVER...

I thought the Jets were going to have, at most, 2-3 wins by this point of the season. That they have 6 is a credit to Saleh and the coaching staff, so I have to say yes, he is a good coach (although I don't like some of the unnecessary puffery he does at times about the players). 

[southparkcpa]

Mangini was smart and good at 8-3 in 2008, after being 10-6 in 2007. So let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I like where we are at, how the player's are gelling so I give him an up vote, and say yes..

So if he is a good coach... we have 8 games left, we should win 10 games??

So much hinges on Zach.

While Zach was really solid yesterday,  he still seems to have a bit more in the tank. I think he can be an above average QB. Let's pray.

 

[rex-n-effect]

He looks to be the best coach the team has had since Ryan's first two years. I hesitate to call him a good coach yet. He is doing good things with the team. I don't think we've seen the totality of what he can do with the team and it's exciting to be able to say that. 

Crowning him after one big win is as much of an overreaction as calling for replacing Wilson after one clunker of a game.

 

[Barry McCockinner]

all y'all MFers who wanted him fired after 8 games with a garbage roster know we can look at your post history, right? 

[Ron Rico]

I'm all in.

I like him, I liked him last year. 

Game situation I love that he’s aggressive. My least favorite thing about past defensive HC’s here was being too conservative on offense. I think he’s a head coach not a defensive coordinator masquerading as one.

We’ll see if the culture stuff is for real. There are definitely positive signs. Some of that is having the right dudes in house. Mims contributing after requesting a trade is encouraging. Team has fought back from behind which is great to see.

Love the willingness to play and develop young guys. It’s critical to having a pipeline, creating affordable quality depth, has to be good for competition, and we’re seeing guys improve. If they can get there with the quarterback too that’d be just huge.

Schematically I think he’s pretty straightforward and direct about what he wants, he’s in lockstep with Douglas, I think focusing on premium positions is the right approach for team building and sustainability, and we’re seeing what he’s said come to life which is cool.

Thought he put together a nice little staff when he came over. With success comes guys leaving for better jobs so if that’s sustained it’ll be interesting to see if he’s got good internal pipelines set up. I think he’s tried but we haven’t really needed to see how effective that is.

Love the intensity on the sidelines.

Overall there’s a lot I like. He reminds me of Pete Carroll in a lot of ways - the playing the young guys, being a defensive background guy but really an actual head coach, culture stuff - which makes sense. His story isn’t written yet but I’m optimistic.

[PS17]

Wanted to point out his time management. He is really good with timeouts and the clock and leaving little time for the opponent at the end of the half. 

[Charlie Brown]

Yes he is a very good coach.

Saleh specifically indicated when he took the Jets gig that it would take three years to see where things are headed and only NUTTY Jets fans wanted him gone with the youngest roster in the NFL and a rookie QB under center.

That they are able to win while still figuring out what to do with the QB is indicative of how well the staff is doing. 

[Lurker89]

I'm in on Bobby Salads ? 

[JoeWillieWhiteShoesHOF]

Yes he is.  I was wrong.

Proves it’s folly for armchair QB’s to try to make determinations on whether Pros are “good” or “bad” especially when it’s early in the process.

I disparaged him as a coach right when he made the “Receipts” comment thinking that more slews of double digit point losses were in the future for him. Thought it was all talk.

But these guys see every “molecule” of practice and game film and can sense when their team is ready to turn the corner, and Saleh sure did.

There was a quote he made yesterday regarding the prior week when asked about it,”we were angry, because we thought we Should Have Won”.   Which makes sense.  They lost to Belichick by 5 points and if Wilson could have taken back a couple of poor decisions, they would have won, they actually had the lead at halftime.  They lost by 5 to Belichick, NOT 50…which we all know has happened too frequently.  Zach Wilson also had a comment in the same vein “We don’t care what anyone from the outside says, if they knew what they were talking about they’d be coaching or playing”

Saleh is really building something here along with Douglas getting him top quality “groceries”, I could see Saleh coaching a very dangerous team for at least a decade, just from the D alone that he puts together every year.  Simplistic statement but it’s true “A great D keeps you in Every game”, and the Jets should have that Every game Saleh coaches.  If the Offense starts catching up to the D (and I think they will with more time, Breece Hall was the fastest RB in the NFL up until yesterday, he’s on the bench as is a potential Hall of Famer in AVT, already have him scored as a perennial All Pro)….the Jets will be a post season threat every year Saleh coaches.

So glad I was wrong.

 

[Hael]

I was on the Saleh train since the beginning.  I think we have a great GM/coaching staff.

Now, is he Sean Payton/Andy Reid/BB good?  Maybe not, but I definitely think he's upper tier.

 

[TuscanyTile2]

Too early to say but he's absolutely trending in the right direction (and I was starting to get negative about the guy after the "receipts" comment).  I will say I was wrong on Ulbrich though.  The early returns on him seemed awful but now he's got the defense absolutely humming. 

The only one I never wavered on was JD.

be foolish to claim otherwise... you can't accidentally go 6-3 with a developing QB and a team with avg age of like 24 years old. 

More importantly, he made Sundays worth getting excited about again...

yes. Saleh is good. JD appears to be good.

 

Woody gonna be handing out extensions

Mangini might’ve been smart, but he was never a good coach. He should be the poster boy for the failed Belichick coaching tree, but fans still get caught up in the one season when Brett Favre came here, ignored the coaching staff, and almost brought the team into the playoffs on his damaged, iron man, arm. 
 
What we’re experiencing here and now is some actual good coaching. There’s a reason Saleh was the hottest HC candidate the year he agreed to join the Jets, and he’s demonstrating the reasons why. 

[Larz]

He actually succeeded in changing the culture here. Parcells was the last guy to  do that. This team will go to war for him. 
 

some minor issues with player discipline here and there, he really needs to just stop giving away information in press conferences, penalties are more frequent than I’d like but this team has heart, will fight you and never quits. 
 

oh yeah 6-3 when I was expecting 3-6 so yeah I’d keep him around a little longer. 
 

 

[JetsFanatic]

Robert Saleh is an excellent HC. While this is a very talented team it is also a very young team. They came together quick and coaching deserves some credit. Also considering the injuries and lack of continuity of the offensive line it is impressive how good they have performed.

[Jethead]

Best thing Woody could do is sign Douglas and Saleh to 5-year extensions. Best leadership this team has had since Weeb.

Rex's teams especially Def... Had trouble in the 4th quarter...

Rex always blew the 'easy' game...

Rex had terrible time management...

Rex's team always had procedural penalties...

Rex's team always had to use timeouts at least once a game for personnel changes... 

Rex got this team the farthest but was not a good head coach... 

He knew how to scheme defenses against other teams very well... But again was a terrible head coach

 

[freestater]

Trending up. 

[WhartonJet]

I’m ashamed to say I thought he was in over his head scheme wise, specifically on defense based on last year’s results and the first 3 games of the year.  
 

Very happy to be wrong and having this defense playing at an elite level.  Very refreshing to have playmakers all over the field.  Can’t help but think what our stretch run would have looked like with Breece, AVT, and the rest of the offensive line on the mend 

[Darnold Schwarzenegger]

Pre hire I wanted daboll. We went with saleh who I felt was a decent choice. Felt like he had a lot to prove. He had a brutal first year. Finished last or next to last in almost every defensive category. But he seems to be turning things around in a hurry in year 2. So far I’m happy with the hire because the defense is night and day from year 1 to year 2. And the team is winning meaningful games
