I don't see a downside to McCarthy. However, there should be a real discussion on the forum concerning the pro's con's of hiring a coach before a GM. Who reports to who? They certainly should see eye to eye, how to make sure this happens?
You hire Mccarthy first and let him bring in his own Gm and coaching staff, thats the only way he agrees to come to this shit show anyhow, along with a blank check.
Everyone on this board knows Jets missed out a few years ago when they inexplicably hired Adam Gase instead of Mike McCarthy. I really hope they don't fuck up again by missing out on another opportunity to hire him. They need a veteran, experienced HC.
Completely agreed. They should have hired McCarthy back when they hired Gase and that turned out to be a massive mistake that has helped to set this franchise back considerably. They have a chance to get him again, and now he comes with the added bonus of having successfully dealt with an owner who loves to meddle in the football operations of the team. Woody needs to get McCarthy in for an interview now and get this done.
Well three of the 4 have previous HC experience, which is vastly important IMO. However, my concern remains, why are we not being more selective and focused with our HC interviews, with more specific objectives in mind. If we are looking hard at Offensive talent with serious previous experience, we have done a poor job. I'm not at all convinced the names above have even been recommended to Woody, and if they have apparently no interest has been shown to interview. Hope I'm wrong.
At some point, the interviews need to end and the evaluations need to start. It's one thing to cast a wide net for applicants, but quite another to have too many applicants as it dilutes the talent pool. If Team 33 has a set idea of what they're looking for, you don't need to interview everyone that's ever worked in the Front Office or on an CS. If Team 33 hasn't got a clue as to exactly what they're (Woody) is looking for, then we as an organization are doomed to more misery even with the new regime. Take your time and get it right for once. By now, we should be on second interviews instead of beating the bushes looking for more people to interview.

I don't understand how people think Flores wouldn't go insane again. If he couldn't handle Miami there's no way he's gonna keep it together in NY. I'd honestly take McCarthy over anyone else we've interviewed. Glenn feels like Saleh part II and McCown has like three years of coaching experience. At least with McCarthy we get an experienced coach who has shown he can run an offense.
I’m surprised at all the love for McCarthy. I don’t really get it with that guy. How many head coaches have gotten a 3rd shot? And what has he done anywhere that would make him worthy of getting a 3rd shot? All he did was underachieve in Green Bay and Dallas.
He won a Superbowl and his only two losing seasons in Dallas were when Dak got hurt. It's fair to say he underachieved in GB but he was in the playoffs every year until the last two.
The Jets need to get to the point where they put together a couple winning seasons before they worry about a coach that might “underachieve” in the playoffs with a 12-5 roster. We’re basically one of the worst franchises in all of sports. I’d kill to see a 12-5 season sometime in the next couple years.
Same here. Rode the coattails of Aaron Rodgers and then Dak. Underachieved consistently. Why do guys like this keep getting second, third, fourth choices? Give me Flores, Glenn, Tomlin, or pretty much anyone else in this thread.
With Rodgers, I agree, though I didn't see MLF going to SB with Rodgers in his prime, he did improve the record drastically over Mike. With Cowboys though I don't think he underachieved. Whenever Dak was healthy he won 12 games in a regular season. And Dak is not an elite QB. In play-offs only one win and 3 appearances, but I would say this is not an underachievement when you don't have a superstar QB, which Dak is not. More or less within the margin of error of where you should be with the rosters he had, maybe even better, depending on how you view Dak.
i have been hearing aaron glenns name come up. and i dont know why but i feel like that wont go well. im still hoping for flores, i dont care if his defense is getting carved up tonight. i want the guy who will make the best head coach. marcus freeman came into notre dame and people were a little iffy about him. some coaches left, some were asked to leave and its beginning to look like he was more worried about culture than a scheme or coach. i want the same for the jets a guy worried about making decisions based upon what his beliefs are not a guy looking to make a splash to make headlines. so a guy who can work with a good gm and tell the owner to stfu and go away and let the football people make the football decisions.
