    Wink isn’t not good. He’s just not the best option. You want a young up and comer who can grow on the job and evolve. That’s not Wink. What he brings will work but it’s not a longterm solution and it’s not even the best short term solution.

    See, I knew we could agree. Definitely not a long or short term solution.

    Who else is coming in for second interview? That is the question? Some are restricted till the playoffs are over.
    Hope is not a done deal yet, but we knew he would get a second interview.

    It sounds like he's the guy from the beat writers, not to mention firing all those guys yesterday and him coming today is a pretty glaring indication.

    it will work in the short term. Even with the Giants defense being ranked horribly in points and yards they were number one in turnovers and got pressure constantly. Honestly when you have guys like Will McDonald and Jermaine Johnson while adding one of Reese or Bain, the weird looking formations Wink uses is kind of a good fit. You just know that it has its limitations.

    Much more likely we target Reese at 2

    Hopefully. Ideal fit in the current NFL and a defense that wants speed and pressure.

    Forgive my ignorance on the type of D Wink will institute, is that mean we are moving more towards a 3-4 type of players. We massively need beef at LB and D line in my opinion.

    Could not have said it better myself. Sherwood and McDonald look like scarecrows out there and get run over and pushed around. Beef up!

    Maybe he should find a good AI program and create a coordinator who doesn't exist today.

    There’s no rush. We don’t have a game next week. Some of the teams still playing might even have a decent candidate option. People are very dramatic here

    Leonhard is coming in tomorrow for his second interview I read somewhere. So that tells me two things, first he is somewhat still interested, and also indicates that they will be others before the decision is made. Wink may be a strong contender but not a done deal IMO. At least I hope so.

    With Leonard there may actually be some hope for the defense. He is worth waiting even until after the SB. With Wilks 2.0 I just a hard time seeing anything positive. That should be plan Z.

    So, in other words, exactly what the Jets need for 2026.

    I agree that Leonhard is the far and away better choice but the Wilks 2.0 thing is absurd. Nothing even close to the same unless you’re looking at their ages.
