Jets OC interviews (Merged OC Candidates Thread)

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

 

I'd guess that Bevell would be the interim when Salad gets fired.

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.

I remember the issue that happened years back when he interviewed for HC, kinda shocked he would consider coming here......but this would be a slam dunk hire for OL coach/run game coordinator. One of the best in the business at coaching OL.

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. 

A veritable who's who...

There were a lot of reasons why Marrone wasn’t hired, and he naturally wasn’t happy because he wanted the job, but I don’t think he harbors a level of animosity that would result in him avoiding a job with us. He’s just one name (Chris Morgan another), but they absolutely want to add more edginess in that room. They want the OL to have an enforcers mentality and it starts with having an aggressive coach

It would help to have players with an edge as well. Watching Jenkins on TB, Kelce on Philly…. Nasty

[football guy]

The one guy I haven’t heard much about is Todd Monken. I’m sure the Jets are one of the teams who have at least put in a call but no idea if he’s even interested in coming here. If you hire Monken, it’s because you feel he can build a downfield spread/air raid style passing offense around our WR talent, and would open up discussion whether to go get Carr to be QB or bring in someone else to compete with Zach. But such a hire would indicate a shift away from the “run-oriented” offensive philosophy, which is what Saleh wants. He’s hinted that he will be open minded so I guess we’ll see but not sure whether that match would happen.

He might think he’s open to it. 
 

Defensive guy.  He might interview broadly but I’ll be shocked the new OC isn’t a ball control disciple.

If Zach Wilson struggled emotionally with Mike LaFleur's "tough love" he will need a therapist with Marrone's version

Great stuff here, thanks!! Nick Caley is interesting. Kinda sucks to think Olson, Bevell, and Brady may not be options. 

I'm not sure I love Patulla as OC, I don't think he's called plays in his career. I'd honestly feel more comfortable with Brian Johnson as OC than Patulla if we go the Eagles route. 

I could see Hacket further into the offseason if we target Rodgers.

Feels like an underwhelming list haha but some good knowledge

The Pats thought highly enough of Caley to make Matt Patricia the OC.

It's not to say they aren't options, but I don't think its as simple as "go hire that guy" with those candidates. Bevell likely the easiest to pouch of the 3, but no guarantee they leave their current posts. 

One thing I learned about play-calling: a lot of teams use other coaches as play-callers throughout training camp scrimmages and pre-season, as well as spot duty during games. There are coaching scouts out there who keep track of these things

It’s like the Miami Marlins trying to hire a big time batting coach. Tough to sell an OC on a job when you literally have no idea yourself who the QB is.

Just listened to an interview with a NESN guy specifically about Caley. Apparently, nobody knows what he does, but he’s been around the Pats for ten years as a Josh McDaniel protegee. McDaniel tried to take him to Vegas—again, as a position coach—and the Pats blocked him. He is not in consideration to become the Pats OC this cycle, either.

Great stuff. Doesn’t the OC have the ability to bring in his own position coaches? Seems like Saleh is mixing and matching here.
