“ Do you want me to throw the podium on the floor?”

[Beerfish]

The guy that needs to be at a podium taking fire, showing leadership and taking heat for his coach at least some of the time is Joe 'The Coward' Douglas.

Douglas picked Becton, Douglas picked Zach Wilson Douglas got played by the Packers like a fiddle in the Rodgers thing, Douglas is the guy that was okay as a gm to get all the garbage players that came along with Rodgers.  Alan Lazard 4 years, 44 million, Duane Brown is the LT.

Saleh is bad and he and his whole staff deserve to be turfed but I've not seen a Where's Waldo GM like Douglas who just disappears.  Just gutless.

Really? Because if I were a reporter I'd ask him if he is as shocked as most jets fans that himself, hoe and nate are back next year after sucking so bad at their jobs

They’re equally horrible and both seem to play off the other. **** them both.

Saleh might be worse than Gase. At least I didn’t feel Gase was a total fraud. Saleh doesn’t seem like a real human being. He preaches all this accountability crap and the team gives up and commits penalties more than anyone in football. 

Might be? Gase's 7-9 year is our best season in the last 8 years. He's also coached a team in the Playoffs. 

Dear God, I'm defending Adam Gase. Look what you've done to me, New York Jets. You broke me. Wibble.

Voluntarily taking reporters' questions after a game like this, when it's not customary and further doesn't do so after wins either, would be dumber and worse professional judgment than the dumbest player transaction you mention.

I absolutely get the desire to have him humiliated by repeated questions, so he can't rationalize any/all failures to Woody behind the scenes to preserve his job, but how often do GMs do such a thing? The last time I really remember it happening was when Idzik gave that meandering press conference that got himself fired.

Cimini was clearly poking him, looking for a soundbite. Such a bundle of sticks that guy is.

I feel like I can make an argument pro-JD (he's far from perfect but he's at least brought in a good amount of talent) but, the way things have gone, I really don't have any desire to.  On top of that, he's the one who hired Saleh. 

[ChewyandtheJets]

Did anyone ask him why he punted twice from the opponents side of the field down 17 points in the fourth quarter or is that a stupid question as well?

no i do not want to see Saleh light up Becton on the sideline because its "at least something" or "fun"....in fact i want the coach giving reporters as little as possible, ideally as little as Bellicheck

Saleh's entire philosophy revolves around manifestiong results through positivity.   It's fair to ask him is he manifesting defeat through body language, speach and manner?  

It seems to me if your mantra is positive vibes and that's the culture, if you can't conduct yourself positively going forward is it time to quit?  

I feel bad for him.   I really think he should leave and reaccess what his coaching philosophy really is.  He's in way over his head.

Hughes and Cimini are idiots. What’s ranting and yelling gonna do right now?? The season has been lost for weeks now. 

We all know changes need to be made. Nothing they can do to fix the offense right now. Stomping around and screaming at players isn’t gonna change anything. Just dumb. Least of their problems.

Yes, actually I do.  At least then I’d know you still have a soul in there.  And would be fun to see.  While you are at it, get into one of your players grill for a change.  Light Becton’s ass up when he reaches the sideline after his fifth penalty.   You could do just about anything and it’d be an improvement 

 

No.

I want you, and Joe, to resign.  You're failures.

You clearly don't give a sh*t about this fanbase.

But no, feel free to stand on the sidelines like a statue all game doing piss all, as usual, losing embarrassingly, as usual, and cashing that check.

We wouldn't want you to have to stress out and actually discipline a player or make a decision or adjustment anything.

After all, you're safe next year, so keep that gravy train rolling.

He should have said how positive he was that the team was heading in the right direction.   They guy is about manifisting results.  Standing their crying made him look like a victim.  He's not a victim.  If he has a plan to make this work and win tell us what it is.

Granted it’s woody and Elhai who force Douglas to stay behind the scenes but it is a total spineless move. Douglas has been with the Jets for an eternity and he’s never seen.

Asking why a coach isn’t angry isn’t a cheap shot. It’s football. Football coaches typically get angry when the same mistakes are made over and over. The positivity vibes nonsense hasn’t manifested into any winning so it’s a total valid question.

Becton had like 50 penalities last night and was last seen laughing after the dolphins game. Jesus Christ lol

[CrazyCarl40]

Woody giving both these guys a carte blanche pass after some of the worst football decisions and playing we’ve seen only to hang our hopes on a nearly 40 year old d-bag with maybe one usable offensive lineman, one receiver who looks like he wants out, and an actual buffoon calling the plays next year almost makes me want him to go back to England. Almost.

I recognized year 1 that the team wasn’t practiced hard. Short practices, not much contact. Positive vibes. That stuff matters in football. You can’t fake it. Saleh thinks vibes are a shortcut. In reality it’s a way to rationalize not doing your job. It’s not a coincidence they continually commit stupid penalties.

I know exactly what he asked. I’m talking about the subtext of the question. But yeah you’re right, “why don’t you seem to care?” is a totally pointless question, while “do you think you should get fired?” is on some Frost/Nixon sh*t

Eh I don’t know. Think it was a pretty fair question. I mean Saleh kept saying how well they played in the second half like….dude address getting your doors blown offf in the first half and your defense looking like Swiss cheese. He just constantly reminds you of Baghdad bob. A guy who is not in touch with reality and I think that’s why rich asked the question

There is a difference between how he acts in a post game press conference and how he acts (or should act) on the sideline.  I get it - throwing the podium would be dumb.  But showing any sort of fire on the sideline is 100000% warranted when you have lost as much as this team and in the way that they do.

Lighting up Becton in particular would be a great place to start - his performance was completely and totally disgusting from an effort standpoint and is a perfect example of what Saleh has built here - zero accountability.
