Jets MIGHT want to get in bed with Frank Reich

[fltflo]

Never gonna happen, makes too much damn sense. After 55 years you’ll learn the Jets never do anything that makes sense.

I’m fully convinced it’ll be a Dan o shea type hire. 

[rangerous]

Reich would be a good choice.  Calabrese is still on the team so maybe he’ll have play calling duties to keep reich free to coach the offense.

Yup.  The last time the Jets ran a competent offense was when they had a vet in here (Chan Gailey) but they are too stupid to recognize that.

[Wit]

That would be great. He wouldn't mind being a lame duck as he wants to be a lame duck.

Who made the decisions at QB for the Colts while Frank Reich was there? Was Frank Reich pushing for Carson Wentz and Matty IcE? 

Seeing how the Colts weren't really in position to draft a guy of their own I'd assume the GM had a lot to do with it. Luck's abrupt retirement left them in scramble mode and had a domino effect

Think Wentz for sure, DK about Ryan.

[NIGHT STALKER]

It's a pipe dream to get someone like him...at the present time.  First of all, he's been interviewing for HCing gigs.  Secondly, what do we have to offer him?  Don't get me wrong, it would be great having an experienced guy like FR, but our offense is one big question mark with no QB1 and no O line set in place.

[Warfish]

If Frank Reich was willing, I'd fire Saleh today, and hire Reich as HC.

[ScarletKnight89]

I think the Jets have to make a decision on QB first before coordinator. If the Jets were ever able to land a legitimate veteran QB, I think the Jets OC job becomes much more attractive and you can probably get better candidates.

You’re really trying to make an argument that going to SD with Herbert is less appealing and a worse career move then signing up with Saleh, Zach and an unnamed vet QB? 

Absolutely is. If you think no one wants to play or coach for the Jets, check out the Chargers forums. You know, the team that plays in San Diego.

Definitely the best case scenario, if in fact he doesnt land a head coaching job. It is a bit scary that he might be gone pretty quickly, if he succeeds here and gets a HC position next year, but that would only mean he did well here and I will take that.

Well that HC job he would get after the 1 year OC job if he takes it here could be HC of the NYJ.

Easily my preference; given our current situation, he's all of the things i would hope to secure in an OC

I “could” buy Greenland and make it a US territory too

 

Reich is not coming here to be Zach Wilson’s next OC fall guy

[SCRUNO]

Woody and Joe want Reich. Saleh says no. Woody and Joe say tough titties. Saleh resigns. Reich is head coach. 
I can see it, maybe.

I think Reich becomes our next head coach after Zach gets Saleh fired next January

[NYDreamer]

I don't think I have seen a thread were we the fan base all mutually agree about how a hire makes so much sense for OC but it is the Jets so I will reserve my excitement until something happens.

Also there is just something about a former NFL QB as an oc coach that is attractive to hire including being a back up to help develop bench players.

The Panthers are conducting a second interview with former Colts coach Frank Reich today in Charlotte, per source. He's gained steam as a candidate, with David Tepper seemingly pivoting to more experienced coaches through the process. Reich played for the Panthers in 1995.

JosinaAnderson @JosinaAnderson

I’m told the #Panthers already have explored possible staff scenarios w/ Frank Reich, prior to today, per league source. From the beginning ownership expressed interest in an experienced HC w/an offensive background, before allowing process to unfold. Initial mindset may prevail

 

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet

The #Panthers have interviewed interim coach Steve Wilks a second time, per me and TomPelissero, as their HC search ramps up. Other second interviews are coming, as well.

Reich to the Panthers would make a lot of sense. 

Rex has said a few times that head coaches should never accept a coordinator job once they have established themselves as head coaches and I suspect a lot of head coaches feel that way. 

[NYJCAP2]

I thought Reich would definitely get one of the HC jobs.

But if you take a deeper dive, the staff he had in Indy when they were winning is basically the Eagles staff now.

I’m wondering if he has run out of assets in putting a coaching staff together.

The hiring cycle seems to be a lot slower this year then in the past.  A lot likely having to do with the continued courtship of Payton.   I read somewhere that most of the head coaching dominos won't fall until Payton lands somewhere or officially opts out of coaching next year.

Also, barring a renegotiation of the deadlines in Carr's contract, the Raiders have to make a move with him by 2/15.

In other words, the QB situation could become a lot clearer, a lot sooner, than we think.

All of this delay could actually be a positive for the Jets, conceivably they could land Carr first then get their OC.

Please yes. This would be such a good hire.

And if it could happen soon, his reputation could help us land one of the better QBs on the market.

[THE BARON]

Why did FR fail as a HC ??? Lacking in "big chair" ability or circumstances ???

You want the Jets to wait till Feb 15th at the earliest and more likely March 15th to hire an OC?  Lol

 

sure, lots of good coaches will wait till then.

I feel the opposite point of view.  I would think that an OC would want input on who would be under center with his scheme.  

[varjet]

Reich is not coming here.

The Panthers have to interview Wilks, and he did a good job, but the Panthers obviously need an offensive coach, like everyone else.  They will likely draft a QB.   That seems like a good plan for the Panthers.

Saleh and even McDermott are examples of the issues hiring a defensive HC.  

The Jets will be in the same place next off season if they don't sign a veteran QB to basically kick the can down the road.  They will be drafting top 5-10, looking for a QB, again, and will need to assemble a real staff to develop him (if his parents let him play for the Jets).  

If the Jets can sign a Rodgers or Carr, they can find an OC to tag along and perhaps save their jobs.

Very few Offensive Weapons to speak of and Defense ranked #22 vs. Jets #4. Warmer climate & better quality of life IMO

I agree.

Additionally, there are teams who are waiting to interview coaches in the final four. The coach soup is still marinating.

I look at it the other way because I think the Jets best route to go is the veteran QB road. If they trade for a QB part of the negotiations could be that they can have a say in picking the OC.

Which sounds less threatening to Saleh I’m sure

HC>>>>>>>>OC

If he takes an OC position, Indy would still be on the hook to pay him his HC salary.... correct?

If he takes the HC position in Carolina wouldn't they be off the hook paying him?

Similar to "offset" language in contracts. Any input on this from People In The Know
