It's answers like this that make up the tard of rock.

Jets need to start Tebow vs Bills a team that has packed it in and can't stop a mobile QB if their life depended upon it. He will easily put up a 100 yds rushing and probably will torch them for a few TD's. After he does this the Bills being the team with the most inept front office in football will probably offer the Jets a draft pick for him and install him as starter next year. Just thinking out loud.

The Tebow experiment is over, actually it never even got started. But at this point I think it's the worst possible thing that they could do. What would the fallout be if they put Tebow in now and he had a gigantic day running/passing, leading them to a blowout victory? Rex would be doing nothing but making the target on his back even bigger. At this point play McElroy and start working on your plans for the off-season.

Must you always inject reason? ;) Happy Holidays. Will we get a Christmas at Matt's house essay this year??? Please???

Unfortunately for me there's a strong chance.
Tomorrow is a home game and Mrs. MaTH's brother, fiance and kids are coming over. My mother in law will be present too. The liquor cabinet is full and I plan to start drinking as soon as the boys open their gifts.

Please pray for me.

I am praying for another epic MATH holiday story. :D Good luck

Hide a camera somewhere. That action would be priceless.

Ill stick with that guy in NE who has a few Championships and 11 wins with Matty Ice Cassell.

I'll stick with that guy in San Fran who has a few Championships and The James Gang.

Really wish I had been wrong about this. Embarrassing season.

and supposedly rex will be back for another season. i'm surprised by that. but, i have to wonder if it matters who they get to coach. the owner seems to be the real issue.

Well the next failed NFL QB from USC should be available when the Jets draft unless my woeful Bills front office snatches him right before the Jets pick. On another note the Jets would have won that game easily if they never attempted a pass. All they needed to do is run the damn ball every play gainst that sad sack run Def.

Jets announced they fired GM Mike Tannenbaun and are keeping HC Rex Ryan.

Absolutely the right decision.

Chan Gailey sent packing too.

Lovie Smith fired as well.


The only problem I have with what the Jets did, is that the one guy who didn't hold anyone accountable for their performances, wasn't held accountable for what transpired this year.

Tannenbaum was originally Parcells' "Capologist", and was elevated to the GM's job without much background in talent evaluation. Certainly the people he relied on to make those decisions are at fault also.

What the Jets need to do is hire an Offensive assistant head coach, to handle the offense, and play bad cop, to allow Rex to deal with the defense, and play good cop, which appear to be his strengths to begin with.

With so many coaching vacancies, one has to think that half of the teams needing a HC will miss on their next choice. Here's to the Birds not being one of them. :rolleyes:

Sad day in Philadelphia sports history.

Tannenbaum had to go but I think they should have gave Rex the boot too.

whisenhunt, shermur, crennel, turner...

none of those surprise, but i am shocked at the bears firing lovie.

Why?

why what? surprised at lovie, or not surprised at the others?

and not just norv gone, but the chargers gm as well. gm should have been sent packing years ago.

Why are you suprised about Lovie?

i just figured a 10-6 record would give him another year. surprised, but i don't disagree with the move at all. they have missed going to the playoffs too often with him there.

Bingo.

What sane organization would hire Norv Turner? The guy is a proven loser with too many chances already.

Decent offensive coordinator, not a head coach. I think the same might apply for Wisenhunt and Chan Gailey and probably Jason Garrett and Mularkey too. Same goes for Lovie except on defense.

that takes care of about 2/3 of the problem. now if there was only a way they could get rid of spanos...

i figure reid will land in a good spot relatively quickly. most of the others do need to return to and remain in a coordinator position. if i was with the saints or rams i'd be calling lovie.

I would think the Colts will need an OC next year too.

denver too. i figure theirs wil be a head coach soon.

At this point, I believe that the NY Jets owner has to go...

Can't believe that Rex is still head coach - -great defensive coordinator, but clueless as a head coach....

I am no fan of Rex's but he would be a much "better" head coach if he had a good QB (like most other "good" head coaches)

so true.
shanahan was a good coach when he had elway. then elway left and he became a not so good coach, and was fired.. now he has griffin, so suddenly he's a good coach again.

No suprise, Sparano out as offensive coordinator.

Is there any past history of keeping the head coach and firing just about everyone else in the front office and the coaching staff working? I'm not taking a shot at the Jets or Ryan but I can't remember this type of thing working out.

When they fire the coaches staff, they are trying to force a resignation.

I think that is usually true but not in this case. Woody and Ryan seem to have a different relationship than most owner/coachs.

They want to continue in the long line of making one asinine decision after the other.

At this point I just wish Woody Johnson would sell, because he is as much the problem as any. He has no idea what he is doing.

:tro:
