Untouchable Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Ravens defensive boss Rex Ryan has emerged as the new front runner to be the Jets' next head coach. The Star-Ledger had Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer as the favorite a week ago and he remains a contender. However, Ryan reportedly met with Jets brass for five hours Sunday and the sides "hit it off in a big way." The Jets could keep Schotteneheimer in place if they hired Ryan. New York would also not have to tweak its defense much because Ryan can run a 3-4 scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.S. Dylan Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Since they are still in the playoffs, what's the deal with the hiring policy? If he is indeed the man for the job, I assume we have to wait until they are out. If so, I may be rooting for the steelers next week.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas2No99 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think Schotty should stay. With the number of veterans this team currently has, you want SOME type of continuity for this team. The last thing you want to do is REBUILD from scratch. THe team was doing well offensively barring that late season collapse and Favre. No one was complaining when the Jets were lighting up for 30 points/game mid-season. Let Schotty keep running the O and have Rex kick our D back into shape. Some posters say let Ryan (assuming we get him) pick his own staff? WHY?!?! If it's not broke don't fix it: Gruden kept Monte Kiffin when he arrived in Tampa Dungy kept Tom Moore as his OC. Jon Harbaugh kept Rex Ryan as DC. KEEP SCHOTTY and let him develop Clemens, Ratty, and Ainge. See who rises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Well I thought it was going to be Spags. Ryan is more of an out of the box candidate and I didn't think they would go that way. Kind of surprised Rob Ryan wouldn't wait to see what his brother did before taking the DC job in Cleveland. I guess he didn't want to risk being stuck in Oakland any longer.

Bulger sucks. People got to get over this myth that Bulger is a good QB. The guy has only played a full season one time (one less than Chad Pennington) and has only had one really good season so far. He's thrown 28 ints and only 22 TDs the last two years. Bulger is a joke. http://www.nfl.com/players/marcbulger/profile?id=BUL162264 Jackson's good but he also can't seem to stay healthy anymore. I know he's young but he's got a lot of mileage for a guy his age. Don't be surprised if the last two years with him breaking down become the norm. Rex Ryan is a defensive coach who comes from a system where they won with defense and defense alone for a long time. The Jets have a lot more pieces to make his defense work in place than the Rams. There is no way in hell the Rams job is more attractive, unless they offered 2-3 million more per year than the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The Rams might not be as far behind as you might think they do have a better QB situation with Bulger and they have Steven Jackson and young d-lineman in Chris Long. The Rams need at least 3 offensive linemen. Probably more. Pace is always hurt, Jacob Bell was overrated by St. Louis in free agency, Barron just blows & wouldn't be starting if he wasn't drafted so high, and the other 2 are total backup-talent scrubs. On the DL, they have back-to-back high draft picks invested in Carriker & Long. But they have little else otherwise. Little & Glover are toast & the best option they have beyond them is Victor Suckyanju. Their LB'ers are overpaid and they need a MLB to run their defense. Tye Hill may never be the mediocre player he once was again, and Fakhir Brown is a free agent (as though anyone wants him anyway). Corey Chavous is 100 years old. Atogwe is ok I guess, but he's a free agent also. Cap it all off with two shell-shocked, former pro bowl QB's, one veteran WR who wants out, and there you have the 2009 St. Louis Rams. That team is a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 and with the way the NFL is going...probably in next years NFC Championship game.... I seriously doubt that. By October, Jackson will be injured again. Ditto Pace, which will lead to ditto Bulger being hurt again. And you'll wonder how you could have even though something so silly. Miami had a bunch of bad breaks last year with no coaching and no QB. Carolina had a solid OL in place and drafted more. Plus they went from a QB with a TD:INT ratio of 9:17 to 12:7 and added Chris Johnson to replace Chris Brown. Baltimore had no QB last year. They did have one this year. Also, last year on the OL they had 2 rookies on the OL and another 2nd year player at left tackle after Ogden went down. These teams had most of their pieces intact and just needed a key player here or there, or had inexperienced talent that just had to get that year of playing time under their belts to make it complete. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Some posters say let Ryan (assuming we get him) pick his own staff? He's got to pick his own staff. If he doesn't, he's starting out as a head coach with added tension and resentment that he really won't need. The only coach I really want to stay is Westoff. Callahan seems to've done a good job. But it's got to be up to the new head coach whether he wants to keep any of these guys or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The Jets have 34 personel. The Rams don't. Agreed. Even though our LB'ers cover like a bunch of old ladies, they don't all have Vilma-size either like the Rams' LB'ers do. That team is a mess. Weak LB'ers, no CB's, no safeties, need at least 3 OLmen, and their QB/WR situation is only better on paper. Bulger isn't the same QB he was, and Holt is leaving.
