I think Saleh is pretty safe unless Rodgers just SUCKS, like final year Peyton level cooked. The Jets have some great young players but they aren’t as insanely stacked as that Broncos team that dragged Peyton’s corpse to a Lombardi. Then Woody gets mad enough to fire Joe Douglas and Saleh gets swept out by a new GM. None of that strikes me as particularly likely, though it would bring great mirth to TFF. Other comedy option, Rodgers stages a coup and gets Hackett or some other old buddy installed as HC. Team immediately gets worse. Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Gannon might be one and done, but the Cards immediately firing a guy that ate a tampering charge for is a bad look I hear you but bad looks are the Cards’ thing. Like if someone says “wow that’s a bad look” there’s a 50% chance they’re talking about Arizona. With another 49% it’s the Browns now that Snyder isn’t around to dominate the contest.

The most persistent rumor I’ve heard is Jerod Mayo which seems like a hell of a career leap for him but it was a talking point over the offseason. It’s mostly dot connecting since it’s not like any info ever comes out of Foxboro

SKULL.GIF posted:Wouldn't that be a point in favor of keeping Saleh? You can't really blame him for a QB being taken out behind the shed by Father Time. That’s why I said it would come via firing Douglas for trading a shitload of resources for a dead QB. A new GM is going to want His Guy coaching. Also if the Rodgers trade ends up being a Russ level debacle Jets fans are going to want to see heads roll I imagine. Everyone in the building will have the stink on them (although somehow Denver’s GM has survived this  It seems very hard to lose your GM job unless you manage to do something as dumb as trade away AJ Brown)Again I don’t think this is super likely, they will probably be good Docjowles fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Sep 5, 2023 |

Nosre posted:Is there a middle path where Kraft yanks his GM control, and does Bill allow that for his last few years? Because I don't see his coaching having fallen off at all still. They got 7 wins with a dead Cam and this being his receivers: I think this would be ideal but Bill is way too much of a proud, stubborn rear end in a top hat to allow it. Like if a GM is forced on him he would bench players acquired by the new guy out of spite even though it sabotages his chance at Shula’s record.

Saleh gets fired, joins Derek Carr in New Orleans, Saints are immediately good. Alternatively, Bill has to retire for health reasons, Saleh resigns as HC of NYJ and heads north

Coach salaries aren’t public which is weird, but Payton is rumored to be one of the highest paid coaches in all of pro sports. There will be fall guys upon fall guys, including Russ The Walmart failsons could afford to ditch him. And hell, I would respect it. But they won’t. Check back here in the 2025 thread

Immediately after he was fired they played the Chiefs close and beat the Chargers, forcing multiple turnovers in each

In the same season. lol.

You also surely have to have incredible self confidence and ego to reach the point of being a head coach. They don’t strike me as a super introspective breed. Mike McDaniel might be an exception, I have a lot of respect for his story of overcoming alcoholism and basically restarting his career after washing out. Also weirdly, Dan Campbell? Despite the off the charts high T meathead persona

Most coaches are bad but they’ve been on a downward trajectory since the Cam year. They’ve gotta try something. The Cards were supposed to be 0-17 and they have the same record as New England and look way more competitive in their games. That dumb Mac Jones quote applies to Bill too. When he builds a roster with like 5 above average players (and most of them are on special teams) it doesn’t matter how good his scheme is.

Yeah I have had it with Bill the god-king of Foxboro but I don’t think he has lost his cleverness as you said on the defensive side. A couple weeks ago I distinctly remember Romo covering the Pats saying “I have done nothing but play and watch football for 40 years and I have never seen that coverage scheme, that was insanely good”. If you were playing a video game without feelings and ego and prestige you would make him defensive coordinator of a contender and I have no doubt they’d have an elite D. Basically the Vic Fangio move. But I can’t see that happening in real life.

The Jets have 3 wins WITH Wilson, and were within a score of beating both the Pats and Chiefs. The roster is pretty loaded outside of Wilson. If you're defining hosed as "not winning the super bowl" then agreed I guess. But an Andy Dalton level backup could still probably deliver one of the best Jets seasons in decades leading this group. They haven't even appeared in a playoff game in 13 years, the bar is not set at super bowl or bust
