I'm sure he wasn't trying to throw the game (at least I think I am) but what the hell was he thinking throwing Brad Smith in there at the worse possible times for 3 or 4 or 5 plays at a time? There was no doubt he would never throw the ball and everybody on the field knew it. Fire him tomorrow. Don't wait for the season to end.
He played this game, pretty much our superbowl for the season, like a preseason game. He gets a free pass this year becuase of last year's success, but no question if we start slow next year he's on the hotseat.
As odd/bad as a lot of the calls with Smith at QB were, Smith/Washington actually executed most of those plays very well (barring the one muffed option), and, if not for a holding penalty, would have gotten 60+ yards on two plays out of that formation
I'm still not convinced he comes back if the Jets lose out. Somebody has to pay for the disaster or Woody looks like a fool. In the past he's made somebody pay when the Jets played better than this. All the coordinators that Herm threw under the bus went there because somebody had to pay. Sutton isn't going to do it because his defense is the only thing that has worked since the bye. He'll go anyway but he's not going to pay the freight. Can't chuck Schotty yet, not with the QB play and offensive line woes this season. That kind of leaves it on Mangini's head atm. Maybe they'll just fire Bradway. That'd at least give the Jets a better shot to recover than they have at the moment.
You all need a life. Analysing every little fucking detail about a man. The guy was almost crying? yeah its because he loves this team. Did you almost cry? Hopefully you did, we had a chance at beating the patriots. If you didnt get a little unnerved today, then you should never watch a jets football game.
Cowher is going to Carolina... we have NO SHOT at getting him... & I'm not ready to give up on Mangini yet... we simply don't have the personnel
Cowher yes, Parcells no. This entire decade has been the residue of Parcells' exit. For me to want him here he'd have had to have the balls to fix his own mess instead of handing us the Bradway nightmare.
What's going to change over the next season or two if Mangini stays? He'll maybe stop playing people who don't fit the scheme, like D-Rob and Vilma? He'll stop playing no-talents like Hobson and J-Mac? He'll stop pretending that endless repetition in practice is more important than actually having a good scheme to begin with? I gotta tell you that I've seen nothing out of him at this point that suggests that he's an NFL head coach. His defense has always been poor, his personnel management is bizarre to put it mildly, and his in-game decisions always seem to be off when the pressure is really on. Now throw in the fact that he's got a QB problem and at least a half overhaul needed in the trenches and I just don't see him turning this around. I could be wrong, but I'm usually not.
I think he gets another year. Last year we overachieved, this year we underachieved. I think we need to find out which is the real deal before we let him go. Let him learn from and correct the mistakes he's made this year. This is what you get with a first-time coach, isn't it?
