He would at least be a guaranteed better head coach than Bowels, Gase, and Saleh so best coach in over 10 years. I don't think the Jets can risk having another failed experiment. I was always critical of McCarthy but he at least is probably a top 10 head coach in the league.
Flores is a guy that went and cried racism suing the league when clearly the Giants followed all protocol and Bellicheck is just an old coot who can’t send a proper text. He alienated his rookie QB when he was a HC, and apparently doesn’t have a great relationship with his former coaches and may have a tough time putting together a solid staff. Why anyone wants him is beyond me.
My two cents. Of all the HC interviews to date, the only two I would consider are Glenn and Spagnuolo, period. Forget the rest. So far no real emphasis on the offensive side of the ball. Not interviewing Monken and Kingsbury is troublesome to me. Many here believe in Flores. I absolutely believe Flores would implode in NY, nor do I believe he has the leadership skills to build a team that plays like a team. After the first year in Miami he gradually lost his locker room with his dictatorial ways, pissing players coaches and owners off along the way. We need to nail down the GM and let him bring some clarity on the path ahead for a HC. Not getting a good vibe.
Yeah…I just don’t get all the love for Flores…if you are going to be a dictatorial dick type guy, you can get away with it if you are Parcells or Belichick…guys with multiple superbowls and proven winners. Flores is a sub-.500 coach who had one winning season in 3 in Miami. I just don’t get it.
It seems downright silly to talk about "getting a 3rd shot" as if his previous 2 jobs were complete busts. We're not talking about a losing head coach that keeps getting fired after short stints. We're talking about a guy that had three 12-5 seasons in a row, a Super Bowl win and a 174-112-2 record. Just because he's had very good QBs (Dak ain't elite) doesn't mean he's not a good coach or that he underachieved. He wins games. Yes, he's got some shortcomings as a head coach, but it raises the floor (as somebody said ealier). Now I don't see him coming to the Jets, regardless, due to what happened last time, but it's not like it would be a huge risk.
Apparently him and Rodgers are on good terms so it is possible. But I would think McCarthy would either go Chicago or Jacksonville depending on which QB he likes more. Its also possible he goes to a team like the Raiders or Saints and Rodgers goes with him (I dont know).....But I would think its most likely he goes to a team with a young qb so he doesnt have to look or find one. Titans or Cleveland also possible if he likes the draft.
They have a worse owner than Woody and their GM traded their 2nd best player. Vrabel is an OUTSTANDING coach. Team played above its talent level according to the folks who followed the team daily.
2. The only reason to care about anyone's feelings is if anyone is planning for Rodgers to be around. Financially, and on the field, the minority view that Rodgers somehow is still the savior of this team needs to be put to bed. He and Adams and Lazard need to load up an Uber and get out of town before another year or two is wasted. That begins the repair of the offense and the salary cap. Thankfully, there seems to be little support inside or outside the Jets organization for the Rodgers experiment to continue
The guy who has won a SB, has an overall winning record with multiple playoff appearances underachieved, you don’t want him. But then you want a guy who sued the NFL crying racism (completely unfounded) when he didn’t get a job, never made the playoffs as a HC, has an overall losing record, alienated his rookie QB, and had a terrible relationship with his coaches to the point that ye’s going to have a hard time hiring his own staff again. Yeah, make it make sense.
Aaron Rodgers and those packers teams did not win because of McCarthy, they won because of Rodgers. That is proven by Aaron winning 2 more mvps the second McCarthy left and rookie head coach came in. McCarthy picked neither Aaron nor Dak, he walked into those situations already and both situations they failed in the biggest moments over and over again. Dak and Aaron are themselves whether McCarthy is there or not so I don’t understand how you can say he raises the floor when you can’t point to anything you know that he’s responsible for in either situation.
McCarthy developed Rodgers. To say he rode his coattails is dumb, Rodgers was a backup who was very raw when McCarthy arrived
Graziano on ESPN is predicting all the landing spots this morning. Here are his predictions (don’t shoot the messenger) Raiders - Ben Johnson Bears - Brian Flores Saints - Aaron Glenn Jags - Joe Brady Cowgirls- Kellen Moore Jets - Arthur Smith
I apologize for not reading through all 78 pages. Who is conducting our HC and GM interviews? Is Woody actually doing it? Do we know? "Unqualified Hirers" is probably a hallmark of this organization. Is Chris Johnson involved this time?
not many... -Feels like the Steelers havent had a good QB since Roethlisberger and they are usually pretty good so I'll say Tomlin -Shanahan is usually good at coaching up his QBs with the 49ers, although Purdy looks pretty good, so idk if he qualifies -Sadly Vrabel should probably get a mention for getting homefield advantage and multiple playoff wins with Ryan Tannehill... I'm just sticking to modern guys, Parcells, Gibbs, Schottenheimer, Reeves, guys like that had their moments without good QB play but were talking 30 years ago so not really worth discussing
Yeah agreed. The point I was making is I’m not sure why we ding coaches for having success with a good QB’s. McCarthy would far and away really be the best we’ve had here in a long time. He runs a good offense. His career record with Cooper Rush is 9-5, a guy who led the MAC in interceptions twice. The Packers were 7-9 in 2017 which is the year Rodgers got hurt and then Rodgers went to war to get him ousted the following year. I think we all know how difficult Rodgers is to work with by now..
