So did Matt Rhule and i'm sure he's going to get an NFL job really soon. Also the Jet ownership is a bunch of loving morons. The fact that they didn't want to hire McCarthy shouldn't be held against him.

I hate McCarthy, but with McCarthy you can say, "Hey, Aaron Rodgers!"

People in sports media, to this day, credit Adam Gase for "bringing back Peyton Manning."

Like, I dunno, maybe Peyton was fine and Gase was just there.

Better head coach, Gase or McDaniels? Both guys got jobs based on being OC for a HOF QB who could just change the play at will anyway.

I think fat mike deserved to get run out of GB, but isn't anywhere lovely enough that he shouldn't get another chance.

Like Fat Mike underperformed by not winning more than 1 SB and he does suck for that.

But underperforming in the playoffs should be aspirational when we are talking about the Brown and Jets.

Without Brady, McDaniels has:

Had the '08 Patriots offense which basically took one of the greatest offenses ever and gave it to a street FA caliber QB and over the year turned him into a solid starter. They were 7th/8th in DVOA/points.

in Denver over '09-'10, drove off his QB and best receiver and turned Kyle Orton into the ~20th by points offense or late teens ranked by DVOA. (They were 16th with Shanahan and Cutler in '08)

Then in 2011 he was the Rams OC as a dying offense completely bottomed out, scoring 12 points a game. (comfortably last in DVOA and points)

Then he went back to Brady and had a top offense every year for some reason.

The situations outside NE weren't great, but he caused the Denver situation, so not sure how much slack you want to cut him there. I think you can throw out that Rams year, and looking at the Cassel Pats year and 2 years with Orton I think we can say that he has the record that he can scheme up an average offense with a mediocre QB prospect and reasonable surrounding talent, and can obviously put together a great scheme if working with great talent.

In Cleveland I'd expect him to either turn Mayfield into an average+ starter and Odell into either a great receiver again or piss him off and drive him off the team. With pretty much zero wiggle room there.

just the ironclad belief that your own superlative genius can make a superstar out of the QB who literally cannot throw the ball

I'm continually stunned that Mike Mularkey has had three head coaching jobs, which is about three more than Mike Mularkey should have ever had.

I'm hoping some team will go in on Marvin Lewis, assuming he isn't just a soulless husk who spends all of his days standing outside a Goodwill, staring into space. Feels like he's earned the chance to work for not-Mike Brown.

This strikes me as unwarranted optimism. All I know is what that Packers offense looked like the last couple years of his tenure, and it wasn't pretty. You kind of wonder if he wasn't being propped up by Aaron the whole time, not that he's completely incompetent but just that he doesn't really ADD that much.

Rhule absolutely would have taken the Jets job if they had let him pick his own staff. The word is the Jets (Macc basically) wanted to hire Monken as his OC and Rhule walked over it.

I think it's at least possible. Andy Reid didn't look so hot during the end of his Eagles stint either. McCarthy is a dumb fat turd but he probably deserves a second chance more than a lot of guys that get them.

It depends on if Mike realizes where things went wrong. Cleveland wanted to force him to keep Kitchens and I'm guessing the Jets had a similar demand for the same concern that he's just clueless. If he's going to rest on his laurel's then he should root.

Watching Jones go off after McCarthys departure feels really telling. I can't speak for Leveon but Chubb is the actual star of three browns offense right now.

Another great decision by probably the worst GM of the last 20 years in the NFL. Trusting a guy to be the CEO of the team but not to pick the coaches he wants but it just echos the decision making of the organization in general that couldn't make a smart decision if the lives of their children depended on it.
