By: DREW MARKOL Bucks County Courier Times Michael Pettine will have a new job title this morning when he's officially named defensive coordinator of the New York Jets. According to sources close to the situation, the Central Bucks West graduate will receive a three-year contract to become new head coach Rex Ryan's top soldier on defense. Pettine, a 1984 West grad and former William Tennent and North Penn head coach, had spent the last seven seasons with Ryan as part of the Baltimore Ravens organization. Ryan, who became defensive coordinator in Baltimore in 2005, promoted Pettine to outside linebackers coach that same season. Pettine reportedly will be the only coach on Baltimore's staff that Ryan takes with him to the Jets. "If it happens, it will just be a huge thrill for the whole family," said his father, Mike Pettine, the legendary former CB West coach who won 326 games, second best in state history. "It wasn't that long ago that he was working at North Penn. He took a chance going down to Baltimore with the Ravens, and it paid off for him. And if this were to work out for him with the Jets, that would be a great thing for him in his coaching career." Advertisement Pettine took a job with the Ravens in 2002 as a quality control coach and video coordinator and worked his way up. "When he started, there were no promises made to him about doing any kind of coaching," the elder Pettine said. "It was a gamble for him to do it, and he took a pay cut, too. But he showed them what could be done with video and computers and also with his football knowledge. "Eventually, he got the outside linebackers (coaching) job, and that put him one step away from being a coordinator. He had a dream that he could do something if he gave it a shot." According to his father, Michael Pettine not having the typical NFL coaching background only spurred him on even more. "He always felt he had something to prove," the elder Pettine said. "He didn't take the usual track that most coaches do. He wasn't an NFL player, and he didn't come right out of college and coach on that level."

I have a hunch of a feeling that Bryan Thomas will be released before next season and be replaced by Suggs, or will be released and Bart Scott will take Eric Barton's spot in the LB core. Book it!

DoubleDown Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Great news. Let Ryan bring in his defensive guys and change the culture of our defense.

DonCorleone Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 What? It always surprised offenses. Made them laugh hysterically, but surprised them. See you both get it. Ryan feared for his job...That's why Sutton is out. Let's not forget the Denver game, when dropping 5 in coverage did not work because of no pass rush, Sutton dropped back 6 to completely eliminate any remote threat to the QB....How can you argue with Logic? Ryan deserves to be fired for letting go of the best defensive mind of our times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMJ Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I agree that Sutton brought nothing positive to the defense but lets not kid ourselves. This was Mangini's defense, not Sutton's. The same problems that plagued him in New England his one year as DC followed him here to NY and will moooore than likely follow him to Cleveland. He has already proved stubborn enough not to change his ineffective ways from one team to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I agree that Sutton brought nothing positive to the defense but lets not kid ourselves. This was Mangini's defense, not Sutton's.

He has already proved stubborn enough not to change his ineffective ways from one team to another. Remember when Mangini ran the 1-10 defense (for a few plays) vs the Eagles in the superbowl and it worked? He probably thought after that "So thats how you call a defense in the NFL, everyone drop in coverage!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy sucked...should never have been promoted to DC under Mangini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only pray. I know hind sight is 20/20 and all the other sayings that go with it, but I for one was screaming at the top of my lungs when we passed over ed reed. my wife thought I was going to bust a blood vessel. I was reading somewhere and I can't remember where. That you don't have to be an athlete or former coach to be able to evaluate talent. And conversely sometimes when you have played or coached you think you know too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
