Coaches who can’t get their teams ready coming off extended rest

[Theodore]

Moving forward this is the biggest sign I am looking at when evaluating a HC.

Andy Reid before he became a god was always notorious for winning and having teams play well in this setting.

I am a UMD grad and Mike Locksley is a great example of a terrible HC. He keeps his job because UMDs standards are so low and he can really recruit However, his teams are often woefully unprepared as we saw last night. Two weeks to prepare against a bad team at home in which you are a 10.5 pt favorite and you lose 37-10. His record is 0-6 off a bye. Like Saleh he is just an inept head man. 
 

To those who think Saleh did his job because the defense was good…..Head coaching is more than that.

Should've been HC of the NYJ going into this season.

Which is complete BS. And also how often does Salehs defenses start out the game slowly? 
 

That’s how upsets occur and more talented teams lose games. Northwestern isn’t good, but their coach had them ready to go and before you know it you are down 14-0 and doubt starts to creep in.

imo there is very little reason for a team to come out not prepared to play after a bye week or extended time off.  the jets have been notorious for this even going back to bowles.  thre is no excuse for the coaches to not have a game plan that plays away from the strengths of the other team.  i know people don't like to kick guys when they're down but consider that saleh wasn't going to be coaching next season and he will still be collecting a fairly hefty check each week from the jets.

It takes a while to build a long enough sample size to know if a coach is good in this area. Are they never allowed a bad game of extra rest? What if they play another team coming off a bye and they are good on long rest?

I think we all have to make our own judgments.  Mike Vrabel being 6-0 coming off a bye is a pretty good start!

can't explain it, but Gase was nails on the first drive. Team would go right down the field and score a TD but then would never score again.

Yup Saleh is indeed in the running for the all time worst Jets HC .. good guy ... Good intentions .. good DC ... Terrible HC
