Saleh is certainly better than Brick because with him and Brick both focusing on defense, defense was better earlier this year, though clearly not as good as last year even before Saleh left. But with Saleh essentially we could count on getting to 7 wins this year. With Brick we probably will get 5. Which one would you rather have? Getting to 7 wins, which all Saleh can do, to me is meaningless. Frankly speaking, I would prefer 5 wins to 7, which would ensure we get new regime and a better draft pick (top 5 pick) for that regime.
While I agree with your point, and I believe we are in desperate need of a regime change, the 5 versus 7 pick is far less important, as is more a function of who does the picking than the actual draft order. If we don’t select a top GM, it becomes meaningless to me.
We are on the same page there. Presumably a higher pick would be more attractive to the new GM, increasing the chance of whoever that is to be better. But it is just theory. Either way, I prefer a better pick to the worse one, given we were not sniffing play-offs regardless. But also, don't forget the benefit of 5 wins, which it is it will make sure we get all new regime. With Saleh still here and 7 wins, dumbass Woody might be thinking it is just Saleh he needs to get rid of and keep JD and others. So, overall, while I acknowledge Saleh is better than Brick and defense would have been better, and maybe we would have won a couple of more games total, we would have still sucked, and I still think firing Saleh is better for us. Would have been better if it were done last year, but I don't miss the guy.
It's really wild how many seasons we've had over the last decade where the ideal outcome by Thanksgiving was to do as badly as possible the rest of the way.
Looks like ulbrich learned for the great master Sensai and mentor saleh 10 stupid penalties in the 2nd half, he’s making baldy look like Vince lambordi at this point, 12 games in and the jets still haven’t figured out how to line up properly something high schoolers know how to do
he had his shot and rather then give up the D he stuck with it and has been an abject failure at both. Bye bye
WTF does Ulbrich do with those headphones? All game he’s on them, talking and listening. today the Dolphins scored to win the game and the camera panned to him, he’s putting the fucking headphones back on!
Far be it from me to pretend to be able to provide insight but I'm guessing that since we saw Saleh doing the same thing (nothing on the headphones) I'm guessing that whatever system this staff had Ulbrich is just continuing and therefore he doesn't ever talk into the headphones either by design. Because I've wondered the same thing the last few years.
Ulbrich was given the big boy seat for the 1st time in his life and he's just wasting it. No changes, nothing to make the team his own, lost at times, especially when it comes to rules/decisions that head coaches have to make he had a great opportunity. A young team he could've inspired and if he did so, the job was his. Instead he's a worse version of the guy he replaced! I have zero respect for Ulbrich and I can't wait til he's cut loose
“He missed it,” Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said. “We’re supposed to kick that out of the end zone. We just missed the kick. So went into play, but at the end of the day, we got to cover what’s kicked, and we didn’t cover it well enough.” making a big deal about the kickoff return Miami had is a good idea but blaming the kicker? how about the 10 other guys who didn't tackle the returner
I think each week should be like an episode of Survivor, and the unit that cost the team the most during the most recent loss gets fired each week. There has to be some entertainment value. They're probably all gone at the end of the season anyway. Maybe they find a diamond in the coaching rough.
Yeah it's pretty remarkable. Saleh was clearly in over his head and Ulbrich is somehow even worse. The guy just seems totally lost out there, like his mind is going a thousand different directions and he's just trying to stay above water. The penalties, not knowing the rules, challenge fiascos. He is drowning every game.
