01/05 — As a followup to my most recent Radar entry this afternoon, one of those six interviews that the Jets will have this week with head-coaching candidates will be with an old Hog.
Russ Grimm, the Arizona Cardinals' assistant head coach/offensive line and the longtime Washington Redskins guard, will interview with a Jets contingent that will include owner Woody Johnson and GM Mike Tannenbaum in the Phoenix area on Thursday.
Grimm hasn't been a coaching nomad over his career. He was born in Pennsylvania and went to Pitt. He played and coached 20 years with the Redskins, then moved back home to coach Pittsburgh's OL for seven seasons. He was up for the Steelers' HC job that went to Mike Tomlin in 2007, then moved west with Ken Whisenhunt to coach up the Cards.
And that job has been going well. Arizona, of course, has moved on to the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs — their 30-24 win over Atlanta has advanced them to a Saturday night date at Carolina against the second-seeded Panthers. But the Cards gave permission for Grimm to speak with the Jets. (Perhaps because Whisenhunt is an old Jets TE and assistant coach himself?)
And with the NFL's complex rules to ensure that all head-coaching candidates get interviews even if their team is on a Super Bowl run, the window of opportunity for the Jets and Grimm is Thursday in the desert.

Mon, January 5, 2009 - 7:46pm ET""The Mange" was a great coach for the JETS... Critics say NY is a tough town to 'make it" in... Now I gotta believe it! The JETS owners have shot themselves in the foot again over his firing... EM will make it big elsewhere and the JET fans will once again be disgusted in the ignorant ownerships mistakes!"
wayne Said:
Mon, January 5, 2009 - 8:14pm ET"Please,this team needs someone who knows defense.You can plug in a young QB and still be in games with good D. It's important to get this done asap because as important as getting HC choice right, the team has to pick from the best assistant coaches out there as well.We've got to get good coaches in here.These players never seem to know how to get their jobs' done."
JET4LIFE Said:
Mon, January 5, 2009 - 9:06pm ET"in an earlier post i said the HC list was short and this search should be as well but it seems to get longer by the hour why dont they just interview the entire NFL this is ridiculous,it just sounds and looks to me that they are acting desparate and are showing no patience for a quality guy .i hope they dont jump on the first yes man just to announce they have a man for the position "
JET4LIFE Said:
Mon, January 5, 2009 - 9:13pm ET"continued -- but atleast this guy has job stability i dont know anything about him so i wont comment I just hope they get there man we need a break,off subject of HC but it would be sweet if we could land Mc Nabb i know he is not on a majority of the radar fans list but he is more qualified then Kelln or Brett 1 and Brett 2 , we need the break also 31 10 yrs exp. would be nice "
jas Said:
Mon, January 5, 2009 - 10:54pm ET"I can't stress how devastating for this team and its' fans the hiring of Shotty would be. This team looked bad all year and someone is to blame (or all of them). They played 2 0r 3 good games all year, but so did OAK,KC,STL etc. So what."
Drew Said:
Mon, January 5, 2009 - 10:54pm ET"Grimm is a respectable HC candidate. He just happens to be 3rd on my list of coaches I would like to see lead this team. If Cowher and Shanahan are out I would have Rex Ryan and Spags ahead of him. I like that Grimm has been a coach for a long time and probably has deep ties to coaches that will follow him to the Jets. Whoever the coach is has got to bring some trusted guys with him. "
sal Said:
Mon, January 5, 2009 - 11:35pm ET"russ grimm, thats a blast from the past,, i was staioned in dc, been to a few of george starke parties, great times,. russ grimm might be what the doctor ordered. vets will respect him, if shotenheimer gets it i will no longer follow this franchise, theyll be no point, i should stop just for the mention of it. ps lets kill another career while ur at it leave collage coaches alone, clueless"
Ira Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 7:06am ET"Spoke with Boomer this am. And he gave me the answer i was looking for. The D side of the ball needs more work. So you keep Schotty and Callahan and some others from the O and you hire a defensive minded HC if possible. So i feel they should go with R.Ryan if possible unless Schotty can convince you that he has a good DC in mind that can handle the D."
uncle joe Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 7:12am ET"Oh,the future looks Grimm,my green and white Brother and Sisters.And McNabb is terrible!(so we might get him)I think the Jets are just duing their due diligence while they wait for their guy to finish his season.I'm happy Cohwer isn't in the mix.If he's undecided about coming back then don't come back!We need 100% or nothing!That means you too,Farve!"
murray33 Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 7:16am ET"As always the front office is clueless!!!!! "SAME OLD JETS" Let's hire a coach with no experience. 6 coaches in 8 years for Woody. Sounds like Jerry Jones of the east. Please let the football people, if there are any with the Jets start making the decisions."
sal Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 9:24am ET"Russ Grim Dino, hell of a ball player, no coaching in the playoff, Randy when mangini gets the job in Cleveland, hell bring his exp. and lessons lerned from his stay w/ the jets, and i bet hell pay more attention to getting players, insted of worring about charature as much, lesson learned there are many layers to an onion, and i think the jets have alot of onions"
sal Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 9:38am ET"richard your right on, bu the head coach is the easiest to put blame on from a fans standpoint, the media killed him because he wasnt a media guy, didnt give him much to work with, like the loudmouth guy, he make mangini out to be the worst coach ever, while his buddy juron gets a pass, he is aloudmouth and a fountain of misinformation. mangini will be ok and hell handle players, asst. coaches "
sal Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 9:47am ET"'condt.' and maybe the media differently in cleveland, he better put players and coches on a shorter leash, and never trust an offensive coridinator, they seem to be the ones that are consumed w/ being head coach one day. careful brian we all might be sorry for what u wish for, his game planning was a major part of the collaspe, The d didnt help either"
LET'S GET TO WORK Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:02am ET"WHEN WILL SOMEONE REALIZE THAT MIKE T IS A PROBLEM HERE? A PARCELL'S LIKE PERSONALITY (EXPERIENCED OR NOT), IS WHO WE NEED AT THE HELM. SOMEONE WHO WILL MOTIVATE, LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND WHO WILL HELP STEER WOODY AND NOT CATER TO HIM. WOODY NEEDS TO BE MORE IN TUNE WITH WHAT THE TEAM NEEDS, SO HE CAN BE MORE INVOLVED IN ALL PERSONNEL DECISIONS. THIS TEAM HAS THE TALENT AND SOME GOOD DRAFT BAIT."
Frank Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:11am ET"Gee Ira you can save a phone call by reading my comments. Thats exactly what I have been saying for several days now. The defense led by Pace is an absolute disaster. Jenkins might be damaged goods and sounds like he would prefer to be back in a 4-3. Pace is slow and killed us in the passing game. Bowens, Ellis and and Barton need to go we need to get younger and significantly faster."
BobNY Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:12am ET"The Jets need to bring in Ira to help pick a new Head Coach."
Frank Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:17am ET"The team in general is old and might have one year left in it. It is really important that we get a very talented Defensive guy who can fix the huge problems on defense. The draft this year is going to be one of the most important for us to get right in a long time. We need to trade Ellis and Coles for whatever draft picks we can get."
Mike Jet Vet Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:21am ET"Wonder what ever happened to( Dom Capers) he brought the Panthers from Expansion to big time contenders in a very short time ..That in it self is a big accomplishment he is a hard nose no nonsense coach lets give him a call.. He's a proven coach with strong leadership & knows how to evaluate & develop talent ,, Or even as an assistant coach under Spags ryan or LeBeau"
Ira Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:27am ET"Drew, Good point about Grimm and his ties with coaches around the league. But the offense needs keep as many as they can. The defense is were the big changes will take place and Grimm is an offensive guy. But he was from the Steelers program and that can't hurt.I want to keep stability with the offense. Go get Anderson or McNabb and a big WR and they are set. The D needs some work."
JET4LIFE Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:29am ET"I think TANNY lacks football Knowledge he may be Smart Man but he lacks the eye for talent, Woody want to run a team like a business and control the HC this is the Problem for any HC who will need to separate himself from upper mgmt, other wise they find a puppet HC control his ability to pick players and build the ones they have up, and we are back to step 1 they need to re-evalute there thinking"
JET4LIFE Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:34am ET"cont- for example Spags may want to bring in his guy and Tannenbaum with woody may not see it that way, as Woody stated the next HC has to follow there philosophy so this may in fact have a guy like Spags say no because he wont have control of his staff and personell i think Mr.T and Woody should stay out of player business and stick to running the team and keep the 2separate the old way dont work"
Mike Jet Vet Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:38am ET"Here's why we'll be last on any good coaches list 1st the franchise history but for this time around ..While all the other owners are flying in to wine dine & interview there candidates ..Woodys out of the country on vacation letting his underlings take the reigns & shows lack of respect 4 the man & his importantance.. What's the saying you only have 1 chance to make your 1st impressions unreal"
JET4LIFE Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:42am ET"I wouldn't kick Mcnabb out of bed for leaving crumbs on the sheets ,boys I would like to see him on board with Ratliff on deck KC needs to go he could'nt beat out CP for the starting job when the Jets wanted him too i DONT SEE HIM LEADING THE TEAM TO PO'S in the future we need a threat at the QB spot and Dono can bring that I hope he would entertain this"
Vincent Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:42am ET"Great. Go ahead. Get Grimm. He lacks enough HC experience to be a great fit for another 4-10 year. Note to Mike T & Woody - Buy a few kegs of beer for the fans too while you're out there in the desert, as we'll need it to drown our sorrows when we have another string of losing seasons. With this nation-wide joke-of-search for a HC, maybe my great-grand kids will see a Jets superbowl."
Hogan Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:57am ET"I to would be devistated to see B. schott named coach. Although if it did hapen and he was not great we get in on next years exellent coaching class. To all who say " I will no longer follow this franchise.." if that is the case, GOODBYE...you will not be missed. I have said it over and over. If anything can deture u from routing for your team...YOU WERE NEVER A REAL FAN!!!!!"
uncle joe Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 11:33am ET"If Mangini didn't want Farve & they didn't get along,then why did he name his son's middle name Brett?If he wasn't OK with the play calling,then why didn't he adjust it?He never made Half Time adjustments & rarely had his team fired up to play.You always see other coaches calling plays but Mangini was always on the sidelines watching.He NEEDED to GO!He had a 4-12 schedule and didn't make Play Offs"
Sam Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 11:36am ET"The JETS are looking to interview **(RUSS GRIMM)** of the Arizona Cardinals!? R you kidding me!!! Typical JETS thinking. The JETS better NOT hire ANOTHER assistant coach. The JETS need a coach who has some (HEAD) coaching experience in the (NFL). And I don't want a (COLLEGE) coach either!!! "
Kevin Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 11:39am ET"Any god fearing fans here?because thats who the Jets need GOD!some form of the unexplained because if they can get it right (they wont) they will not remember how they did it.They make me sick! If we were ever to win the SB I would not be running & jumping around as a fan should I will be completly shocked.A broken clock is right 2x a day the 1st in 69 the 2nd might be never.here is 2 crap in 09 "
Peter Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 11:43am ET"Mark my words. MANGINI will go to Cleveland and become HEAD coach and lead Cleveland to a SUPERBOWL! I can see it now. This would be TYPICAL JETS history. Mangini would stink as a JETS coach, but go to Cleveland and lead them to the SUPERBOWL. You know this is TRUE LONG time JETS fans!"
uncle joe Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 11:44am ET"That Gary Myers is so bad at what he does for a living it is rediculous!(that's postable,Right Randy)He wants a coaching candidate to dictate when the OWNER goes on vacation.Cowher doesn't even want to coach this year.Why throw the bank at a guy who isn't in the mood to coach!We all wanted Mangini gone.Woody got rid of him!Now give Woody & Tan.a chance to get the right Guy.ENOUGH ALLREADY !!!!!!!!"
Anthony Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 11:57am ET"Honestly this has nothing to do with Mangini's character I think he was a great guy, I just think he made a lot of BONEHEAD calls. He wasn't a good decision maker . I wish him the best and want to get a proper coach . Woody, Tannebaum make sure you get someone who has the grit to take us from 1 and done to its over son ASAP...Rex Ryan, S. Spagnoulo, Grimm, Billick, four front runners."
Deep Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 12:56pm ET"Hey randy, Do you know if the Jets are interested in the steelers Defensive coordinater Dick LeBeau. I think he'd be a good fit for us. LeBeau is a 3-4 guy. may he can give this DEF. a Boost that we need."
Randy Lange Said:
"Deep, I have not heard Dick LeBeau's name yet in regard to the Jets' head-coaching search."
JR Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 1:22pm ET"Maybe Mr. J should also rid us of Mike T? Seems like he has not really made a positive difference with the team to me...just a thought. What about Mike from denver? Could he not do both jobs? What about Bill Parcels? Let him bring isn a real Head Coach? Make it a decision that really makes a difference for us ...in a POSITIVE way ..."
REV Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 1:35pm ET"I am not sure where I should blog this but if Brett does not come back I think we have a perfect Brett to fill his place. Brett Ratliff should be our next QB. I do not know how Clemens beat him out for second string. Ratliff had a tremendous preseason and to me looked like he far outplayed Clemens and looks to be a great QB maybe another young Brett Farve."
Larry Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 3:04pm ET"As far as the QB for the JETS. The JETS should get Anderson from Cleveland. And then lets Anderson, (RATLIFF) and Clemens fight it out in PRE-SEASON. And the BEST QB wins the job!"
scjoe Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 3:30pm ET"It was pretty sad to hear Adam Schiens comments on Sirius NFL radio stating that the New York Jets front office "has no idea what they are doing" even though there is some truth to it, you hate to hear it from someone like him."
Row Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 3:40pm ET"JET4LIFE, while you might be right about wanting Mcnabb, you are wrong about KC. Mangini got fired overall because he chose personal relationships with players over progress. Grimm is not the guy, an OL coach who coaches a line that is mediocre at best. Those guys should be fired up about run blocking, Arizona can't run the ball. Forget the free agents, get a DC before anything!!!"
Jetfan215 Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 3:44pm ET"Brett should be the starting QB but Bretts last name is Ratliff Not Farve! Trade Clemons and draft a qb in the late rounds. as far a a head coach Please not projects!!! If they Hire a Rookie I am not paying my PSL's "
Tom Spicer Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 4:19pm ET"Eric Mangini is reportedly targeting Jets assistant head coach/OL Bill Callahan for a spot in his staff in Cleveland. Callahan, a believer in the West Coast offense, deserves credit for helping to rebuild New York's offensive line in 2008. Mangini clearly is prepping to be the Browns' next coach and could bring many of his ex-assistants with him"
Tom Spicer Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 4:22pm ET"Hear we go Mangini is already trying to take our good assitant coaches from us this is going to blow up in Woody & Mr.T face they should have had someone in mind if they were going to get rid of Mangini. Also if the Jets are so important to Woody do you think he would cancel his vacation & focus on getting us the best coach possible GUESS NOT !"
Tom Spicer "I Bleed Green" Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 4:29pm ET"Whoever the Jets hire as there next head coach is going to tell if Favre is coming back or not if Schotty is hired or Callahan or Jadinski that means he will be back & they were hired cause Woody wants him back."
Tom Spicer "I Bleed Green" Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 4:39pm ET"I would be happy if we got Spags or Ryan I want a aggresive D coach for our team a guy that wants to blitz & alot I would rather get beat on a blitz where we just miss the QB than to get picked apart all day. If we get Ryan he can bring over his brother from Oakland Bob Ryan as the D cordinator & keep Westoff NO MATTER WHAT but only keep Schotty if we keep Favre for continuity if not peace Schotty"
Ira Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 5:42pm ET"Randy, Cimini is reporting that Eric is starting to put together a staff for the Browns. Callahan's name came up and i know he is under contract by the Jets. Is there anyway the Jets could possibly lose him to the Browns?"
Randy Lange Said:
"Ira, I wouldn't think so but I don't know the answer to that question."
barbara Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 5:56pm ET"FUNNY STORY: was shopping at my health food store, we were watching the raven's playoff game, screaming and yelling. a lady came over and said she was just divorced and, we seem to be always enjoying football whenever she comes in, maybe she should become a fan, as a distraction from her emotional stress, we said, maybe not such a good idea, THIS emotional roller coaster ride would do you in!"
Favreisgod Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 7:00pm ET"my comment wasnt posted from earlier did i say something i shouldnt have?"
Randy Lange Said:
"Favreisgod, the only comment I saw from you was posted under Eric Allen's Radar entry with the headline "On, Off the Field on Wild Card Weekend" shortly after we received it today at 12:30 p.m."
JP Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 7:17pm ET"Heard rumors that the Jet organization wants Schotty to be the coach - Let them interview Grimm, the guy from BC...I am just hoping they are waiting for the Raven's to lose so they can interview Ryan. - we at least would have Chad figured out for a few years!"
Ralph Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 9:15pm ET"I don't know about anyone else but I am tired of the Jets being a training ground for first time head coaches.....This NEVER works. We need an experienced veteran head coach with Super Bowl wins under his belt. Anything less is a failure in my mind."
John Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 9:29pm ET"Quit screwin around ! GO CALL COWHER! If he REALLY turns you down, get on yer knees and BEG SHANAHAN !"
Rick Roucoulet Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 9:58pm ET"Randy, With all being said about Clemens, Ratliff, McNabb & Anderson of Cleveland, What happend to Erik Ainge? Where is he now?"
Randy Lange Said:
"Rick, Erik Ainge is still on the roster, having spent the last half of the season on IR with a right foot injury sustained in practice. He's very much a Jets QB candidate next season."
Drew Said:
Tue, January 6, 2009 - 10:17pm ET"Ira..I think this is why the BC coach was being brought in. If Mangini gets the Browns job there is a chance he can take B Daboll and Callahan with him to the Browns."
Peter Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 12:30am ET"Heres the deal...This team needs a guy who is different than any coach we have ever had. No Belichek personality, no parcells coaching tree, a guy we can build a franchise on like the steelers did with Cowher. No quick fixes. Be in it for the long haul. Im going to say a guy like Jagozinski who was willing to lose his job to interview maybe wouldnt be such a stretch. Think about it Randy?"
Randy Lange Said:
"Hmmmm...."
SrGrapes Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 7:02am ET"Who ever the Head Coach is: I would love to see that the Head Coach gets to look at Pittsburg Linebackers Coach "Keith Butler" as their New Defensive Coordinator. He did one Heck of a J O B with their Linebackers. He works behind Dick LeBeau who is one of the BEST Defencive Coordinators in the NFL. Just Wishing Bob"

Wed, January 7, 2009 - 12:00pm ET"Ira ..I have to ask being you bought it up do you know something we don't ? IF Woody & mike T had this big plan already in place before firing Mangini Why don't they know who he is & why aren't they going after him with guns blazing ??????????? Oh yeah he was out of the country come on Ira its the ..Same old plan they have none "
Southernlady Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 12:30pm ET"I hope the next coach is defense minded, as well. I mean come on."

dmacs Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 1:29pm ET"Well it's official; Mangini is the new Browns HC. Callahan will be gone for sure and I wonder who else will follow. Sad part is that this was the best that could have happened to Mangini and my money is that he will lead the Browns to the playoffs next year. As for us, I wish we had some clear definitive direction. I'm sick of hearing Woody and Tanny talking the talk and not walking the walk."
Ray Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 3:16pm ET"Hey Randy, I can't find anything saying Mangini has officially been named the Browns HC yet. Is it official? Whoever comes in will choose his own staff so who knows which of these guys will be here anyway. Hopefully Mangini takes Sutton! And if we get real lucky B Schott won't be named HC and he'll go there too! "
Randy Lange Said:

Wed, January 7, 2009 - 7:31pm ET"Why is it that top notch coaches don't ever become our coach? The only proven winning coaches we ever had were Weeb and Bill Parcells.

Duncan Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 9:34pm ET"Randy, Grimm would be a good fit, I think. If a QB could get more time to throw, THAT would open up the running game... something they've been trying to do for decades! So, tell the bosses if they'd like to be treated to Sabrett hot dogs for lunch, you know where they can reach me! Thanks for the updates, keep up the good work, and have a Happy New Year! Duncan Of The Desert"
lifelong Jet Fan Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 9:54pm ET"Instead of looking through the "obvious" candidates Woody and his staff should sit down and who can do the job. Then go after that person. Mike Tannenbaum should not be given a vote as he has been wrong too often."
Charlie Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 10:26pm ET"Manigini is a talented coach. His issue was that he let the assistant coaches ( Schottenheimer) think he was more important than the team. Poor offensive play calling did the Jets in. What he should have done is given an ultimatum to Schottenheimer with 4 games left to put an offensive game plan that complimented the team. When they were successful they ran to set up the pass. "
charlie Said:
Wed, January 7, 2009 - 10:43pm ET"Give Favre a first rate primary receiver and a competent offensive coordinator that uses the run to set up the pass. Defensively abandon the 3 -4 as we don't have the personnel. Bryan Thomas did not contribute this year as he played out of position. He is a defensive end not a linebacker in coverage. Use the talent you have. Did Ty Law forget how to play the receivers tight? No discipline"
Big Ed Said:
Thu, January 8, 2009 - 3:57am ET"Brett said the only one he let down was himself...honk! Wrong answer! He let down his team mates, the francise and the fans! This isn't all about you there Brett! "
Ray Said:
Thu, January 8, 2009 - 11:45am ET"Ok I see Mangini's press conf. and they are saying he's getting Rob Ryan from Oakland to be his DC. That is who we should have gone after last year. So obviously he wants nothing to do with Sutton either. He can have Daboll."
ed1007 Said:
Thu, January 8, 2009 - 3:18pm ET"Charlie You are 100% right its good to see someone with common sense"
duaine Said:
Thu, January 8, 2009 - 3:33pm ET"Mike T needs to teel Bret Frave thanks but we will be moving on without You.Also needs to use in the in house talents he have as quartebacks and start building a team.They need to give KC & the Bret Ratliff a chance to develop alos the team needs identity so there the next HC should have one therefore he can pass on to the players.There needs to be some cuts made on the team.Mr Woody ACTION PLEASE"
Rick Roucoulet Said:
Fri, January 9, 2009 - 8:11am ET"Peter, I couldnt agree w/you more when you say the JETS need a HC they can build w/& is there for the long hall, But Jagodzinski? Long hall?? NO WAY! The man had 3yrs to his contract to fulfill & just up & applied for a new job??? Dont sound like a guy thats anywhere for the long hall... What if he was fairly sucessful as HC w/the JETS & got a better offer elsewhere??? "
Rick Roucoulet Said:
Fri, January 9, 2009 - 8:16am ET"Yes i know im contridicting what ive said before & how I supported Jagodzinski looking out for his future & i think that was a knee jerk reaction to 1st hearing the story but after hearing both sides, i do believe a man should stick to his word & especially if its in writing also..."
dlh Said:
Fri, January 9, 2009 - 10:55am ET"I'm sick to death with the "thanks, but not thanks Brett" and all the other poor pityful Jet's fans, "we didn't make it" comments. Teams lose together & win together. Thinking Favre could carry the Jets to the Super bowl was unrealistic. BUT, 7 players made the pro bowl and the Jets were looked at as contenders. Brett brought respect. If QB's were all that matter the Saints would be in the SB"
Tom Said:
Fri, January 9, 2009 - 11:49am ET"This team has completely no hope... no coach worth anything wants anything to do with this team. And do you blame them? As Leo T said, it's the same old Jets (a team that makes all its fans masochists due to the pain). If this team wants a real coach they need to give him complete control, not just the ability to be a puppeteer..."
JetFanDan Said:
Fri, January 9, 2009 - 8:11pm ET"Rex Ryan is ready to transform the NY Jets from pretenders to contenders! I love this guys attitude and his defensive approach is incredible! With him at the controls, I think we have a shot of changing things quick. Let Brett Rat, KC and Ainge battle for starting spot. Schotty stays as offensive coordinator...TJ and Leon run things, WR's catch things, DEFENSE attacks. Sound good? "
