Another strong option. He is a very good OC.

Pat Shurmur too. Yet to see his name mentioned.

Marshawn Lynch couldn't stand him. Gave him the finger in the middle of a game after hearing his red zone play call.

That’s because Bevell stole Marshawn’s skittles

THROW THE BAG AT HIM

[JetsAddict]

If they hire Bevell Saleh has learned nothing. Another buddy hire.

Lol I can't even....

Please...

I don't post very often on this forum because I have no desire to get into arguments with anonomous folks on the internet. I also don't want to beat this into the ground, so this will be my last post on the subject.

I do enjoy reading the threads here and have been doing so for a long time. I know you to be a respected and knowledgable poster, but this time your post jumped off the screen at me and I felt the need to respond.

You're laughing. Why? I want to understand. Perhaps I misunderstood your post. When I read your words, they come off as offensive. Did I miss something?

They were on the same staff does that mean they are buddies?   He’s an experienced OC.

Bevell is a Mormon, just like Zach. Maybe bonding over polygamy, magic underwear, and the great Jewish people who are commonly referred to as the Sioux People will create a rapport between the two, in hopes that it helps Zach reach his potential.

Zach’s not a practicing Mormon so whatever that does for you is silly

I wonder how many suitors Monken will have.  Can't imagine we'd be among his top choices....

That theory only works for OC’s, not DC’s?

Poppycock. 

He has interest in being a HC.  The quickest way to achieve that goal would be to make this offense look competent.

I would think he is like Saleh's #1 with a bullet choice. But I am not sure the rest of the team wants to go that route.

People always say this yet it never happens.  No one with options goes to a "challenging" destination just to prove they can overcome it.

Let’s be honest. The OC hired will be despised by 99% of this place. If anyone likes the OC hired they’ll be calling for his firing by mid-August. 

We don’t need to wait for someone to be hired.  99% of this place despises all the names on the interview list already because they’re a downgrade from MLF, even though that same 99% wanted him gone too.

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

The problem has to be Woody

Even if it were based pure chance, it would be almost impossible for a team to hit on zero big-time head coaches since Weeb

I don’t count Parcells because Leon Hess hired him and he was a known entity anyway

There was no “discovery” process involved in unearthing a gem like the Rams did when they hired McVay

The Jets can’t land legit coaching talents because anybody smart with options (or who can afford to wait) tells Woody and Chris to take a hike

I guess the exception would be Joe Douglas (debatable), but that was only because CJ made him an offer he couldn’t refuse and gave him an unprecedented 6 years 

Even if they somehow get the OC right, Saleh is kind of a fraud anyway so does it even matter?

Bevell and Pep Hamilton are my top 2 choices. We cannot hire an OC who will be learning on the job.

I would like to see Bevell as OC and Hamilton as QB coach.

[hotrodcharlie]

Bevell is the guy that blew the super bowl for Seattle. One of the dumbest play calls in NFL history

but yeah maybe he will rescue Zach Wilson

The current QB coach, Calabrese, was never fired.

Go figure.

[Beerfish]

The super bowl play would have zero impact in my opinion of Bevel, I just think other things are worse, like Lawrence looking like shi* when he was there and then suddenly looking really good once pederson took over.

Not a fan of his body of work.

True,  but they talked about reassigning him. I think some time as an assistant to Hamilton would do him a world of good. Hamilton is one of the best QB coaches.

In fairness to him, Urban Meyer created an incredibly toxic work environment in Jax last year. I wouldn't hold that against Bevell. 

[TuscanyTile2]

To throw a couple of names out from the past, how about Norv Turner and Jason Garrett?

Norm Turner retired and Jason Garrett didn’t have much success with Daniel Jones in NY. Not sure if that was more Joe Judge or Garrett.

Bevell more than redeemed himself this year in Miami.

I would love to have turner in the qb room as the so called senior advisor.

No question he would be an asset in that role but at 70 I don’t think he has the desire anymore.

70 is the new 50.

So you don’t see a difference between a rookie and second year QB?  Or didn’t notice that Lawrence wasn’t all that good early this season under Pederson.  Then as is the case when you gain experience a switch flipped.  
Bevel is a good coach and would be a good pick, trying to pick him apart is just so fan like.  
He’s done a great job with Tua.  

[Sarge4Tide]

Bevel’s been the interim head coach of 2 different franchises. That says a lot to me

Twice when a head coach was fired in-season, the owner/general manager looked around and said “Which of our current coaches has shown the most ability and has the respect of the team enough to lead us though the rest of this flaming dumpster fire of a season?”

And yes, I know some goofball troll is going to say “He can be interim when Salad is fired”, so I’ll just go ahead and do a pre-emptive strike on that stupid crack

Bevell isn’t my #1 choice, but I’d be okay with it. Maybe give it a solid B

Same here.  Not sure where he fits on my list of candidates but I would totally understand why he was picked if he actually was the choice.

I have said this a long time ago, and I think Daboll thinks the same thing.

When putting together a staff, you want as many smart, creative people on the staff as possible.  That requires leaders who are patient and open-minded, and money.

The Jets have always had skimpy staffs.  In retrospect, when compared to the other staffs in the playoffs, for example, their staff depth was a joke, particularly on offense.  

So, basically, on offense the Jets need AT LEAST TWO experienced, capable people.  Who did the 49ers have on staff when MLF was there?  Shanahan, McDaniel, MLF, Benton, whoever is there now?  That is a staff.  The Jets have not had a real staff since Rex Ryan

So Woody-take your assistant coach budget and double it.  That will make a difference in how this team develops its players and plays.

They had Knapp, MLF, and Benton

A few random notes on the coaching search: 

• Very much a collaborative effort between FO-HC. I assumed Saleh would have a particular candidate in mind but he buys into the approach the Jets took that led to his own hiring, which is to have an open search and hire the guy who “fits” what they’re looking for. 
• What they’re looking for? A well rounded coach with strong leadership and communication skills. As evidenced by their candidates thus far, having a specific trait or background is not necesssrily the primary focus. Saleh and the FO agreed that Mike LaFleur, while talented, was too rigid in terms of scheme/usage and failed to exhibit the strong leadership qualities such as communication. They want someone who will be more “global” with the offensive staff and players. 
• Nick Caley is interviewing this week. When I first saw his name I admittedly rolled my eyes. Then spoke to some people in the know and they said he’s a legit candidate. The connection here is Jets chief of staff Steve Scarnecchia, who is close with Caley. Scarnecchia He was much more than a “TE coach” under McDaniels specifically and people believe he could be a future head coach given his overall football knowledge, compatibility, organization, and high-end communication skills. Another reason why he’s being considered? Jimmy Garoppolo. They’ve know each other dating back to their Eastern Illinois/New England days and have remained close. 
• There are some with the Jets who believe a scenario exists where they can hire both Kevin Patullo + Marcus Brady as a “package deal”. That would likely require the Jets hiring Patullo as the OC and Marcus Brady to a QB coach/passing game coordinator type role. There are a lot of connections here. Patullo spent some time here, but both were on the Colts staff when Rex Hogan was there as well. Both now in PHI where Joe Douglas has a ton of friends. Jets spoke to Reich and those guys came highly recommended.
• There’s some sense that it will be difficult to convince Darrell Bevell to leave Miami. He will consider it, but wouldn’t call it a lock.
• Much like Bevell, there’s some belief among agents that Joe Brady wants to stay in Buffalo for another year.
• Add Greg Olson to the list of popular OC candidates who is less likely to come here. Not impossible, but he prefers to stay as close to the Bay Area as possible. 
• Doug Marrone is someone to monitor as OL coach/run game coordinator. The Jets feel they have lacked an “aggressive edge” to their OL and will look for a coach who will tap into it, which Marrone is well known for. Also important: Marrone is flexible with blocking schemes (zone/man). It wouldn’t be a lateral move with “RGC” attached to his title. Worth noting that Saleh was on his staff in Jacksonville. Was also born and raised in the Bronx.
• Nathanial Hackett was contemplating a year off. Some believe he can be convinced to be an offensive consultant, but doesn’t sound like there’s a rush on Hackett’s end. May be an option for us after we lock down an OC. 
• Pat Shurmur was among the list of names Saleh has put together for a senior position on the staff. No word on that front. 
• Justin Outten (DEN), Ben McDaniels (HOU), and Chris Morgan (CHI) are additional candidates that have been mentioned for potential roles on our staff.
