Woody's not basing anything on 'evaluating players'. He's basing everything on 'evaluating fans'....you know, those guys who put a few billion dollars a year in his pocket :up:
At the end of the day, it will be up to Woody when it comes to Rex's job. Combined with the fact that Mcelroy (or Tebow, or the janitor) at QB gives you a better chance to win then Sanchez, this is a no brainer.
Woody is a joke.. But there no shot at the playoffs. Were a terrible team and I woudnt even want to back in. Sanchez shoudnt take another snap this season. He's done, confidence destoryed. Maybe sitting anf watching will help him. Next year he will be back on the roster with his 8 mill gurantee. Pointless to play him anymore this year
So this source has spoken with or been in meetings with Sparano, Tanny, and Woody but doesn't know how Rex is leaning one way or another.
If this is true, Rexy just doesn't have the stones to be a head coach. He waits (on purpose I believe) until Tebow is inactive to bench Sanchez. Now he has to talk to Tanny and Johnson about who is gonna play QB? You think Parcells or Belichick have a confab to decide who they're gonna play?
You know what's weird? Manish makes all these "anonymous source" claims, amongst other stories such as this, but the Jets never dispute them. They never go on the offensive. They never say anonymous source stories are bullshit and so on. They never call out Manish directly. In fact, they go the other way. They say the anonymous source claims have been addressed in locker room meetings. Tanny goes on the radio and says he's "disappointed" by the anonymous sources speaking out and so on. As a result, I think the Jets are either dickless, stupid or both..........or Manish' stories are all based on truth. Since the Jets could probably ruin Manish if they cried BS everytime he sites an unnamed source, I'm thinking he's probably accurate. Just my 2 cents though.
Parcells and Belichick have rings. It's a lot easier to get away with bad moves when you have 3 rings on your fingers. You don't have to discuss stuff. Bill has let that defense slide dramaticaly from where it once was, but it's all good even though it cost them 2 super bowls because he's Bill and has 3 rings. It kind of gives him a "get out of jail" card forever as a coach. Look what he has done has worked, isn't in the best spot to question him If Bill was a coach a hot seat with no rings I'm sure he would be conferring with his higher ups to get a feel. Rex is trying to keep his job.
It wouldn't surprise me, Tanny stuck his neck out when he extended Sanchez and he's desperately tied to him now. It was a foolish extension made after the Jets failed at Manning, as if they were ever really in the running. The worst part is usually teams give themselves an escape route on a big contract, Tanny didn't. So now Tanny has to hope and pray that Sanchez turns it around...he's tied to him and it's looking more and more like he tied an albatross around his neck.
and long term this is a problem. say if the Jets were to fire Rex this offseason or fire Tanny, why would a coach like Bill Cohwer, or an established gm like for example Bill Polian want to take that job as opposed to other openings when you got an owner that's to hands on for his own good. He's not Jerry Jones or Daniel Synder bad but he's to hands on for his own good. Regarding the whole McElroy/Sanchez thing, its a toss up to me. Granted McElroy didn't turn the ball over but the Jags have a whole week to prepare for him as opposed to the Cardinals so it will be interesting to see what he's capable of. If this game was a home game I think without a doubt McElroy would get the start, the crowd would flip out if they went back to Sanchez. However I would trust Sanchez more on the road then at home at this point. in the end i would go with Sanchez, if he doesn't see the writing on the wall now realizing that he will be benched if he doesn't get his shit together now knowing that this is it, then any small glimmer of hope for him is gone. at this point i think him playing on the road would do him alot better then in front of the home crowd but have him on a super short leash.
This decision is killing me with how long it's taking. I've read on here/elsewhere that McElroy is extremely involved with our playbook and offensive play-calling. I think he'd be able to handle himself. Also, keep in mind he did win a national championship. I don't think he'd be afraid of a paltry away crowd. Sanchez doesn't deserve to start. Rex starting him would truly undermine the organization. He has done nothing this year to warrant him starting and should have honestly been benched after the Houston game.
This isn't a referendum on good moves or bad moves. All coaches make both. It's about actually being the head coach and making the calls. Belichick made big decisions for his teams way before he ever won anything. He benched local legend Bernie Kosar for Testeverde against the wishes of the owner and 90% of the Browns fans. It was the right call.
How do you know who they would've checked with or not? Rex SHOULD make sure that everyone in the organization is on the same page regarding this b/c it is such a big franchise altering decision. I have a hard time believing an owner like Kraft or the Mara's wouldn't want some level of input if they had a similar QB situation of their own. Regardless of who the head coach is.
The Pats had one when Bledsoe was healthy enough to play in 2001. I seriously doubt he asked Kraft for his input in that decision. Bledsoe was like a son to Kraft, and he had just given him the richest contract in Pats history up to that point the year before. My point is that Rex future will be decided by how this plays out. He should go with what HE feels is the best decision. It'd suck to be out of a job because of other peoples choices.
It's a weird situation. Tebow isn't gonna be here after this year so why start him. McElroy isn't the answer so why groom him? Sanchez is owed 8.3 mill next year and will most likely be here so it does make sense to go with Sanchez and hope he plays good these last 4 games.
Who says McElroy isn't the answer? You? Tannebaum, who thinks Sanchez is good? Let the guy practice with the first team for a week and give him a start. Let him show us if he is the answer or not. What are you so afraid of? You have a team full of guys out there playing hard and trying to win, if you keep playing a guy who doesn't deserve to keep their job you effect the whole team. As soon as McElroy started throwing on the sidelines the whole team was infused with new life.
