Losing 4 games on the west coast against 3 non playoff teams doesn't bode well too. Factor that in with the PSL's that the team is trying to sell to the public and it creates a bigger Sh!T Storm. Basically the fans wanted his head and I think Woody gave it to them. I personally didn't think that he was that good of a coach. He never seem to make any sort of adjustments during the games. Plus they always seemed to give up on the run to early. Also Leon Washington doens't get enough touches.
As far as Tannenbaum goes, he accquired guys that did make the team better. They were 8-3 with the same personnel. 1-4 against 4 non playoff teams doesn't go on the GM, that's goes on the team and the coaching staff. As far as the draft goes, they really don't have the best luck when it comes to drafting anyway. Even if Gholston turned out to be something, how much of a difference would have he really made?
Who they are going to bring in is a different question. I don't have the slightest idea who will be the next coach. I do know that the 2 biggest fish want to be coach and GM (Cowher,Holmgren). Maybe Tannenbaum will take another job in the organization for the benifit of the team.

Considering the pass rush was non-existent midway through the season, and certainly in the last 5 games, he or anyone else who could get to the qb would have made a big difference. Gholsten couldn't even get himself in uniform late in the season.

The 8-3 start was as big a testament to the last place schedule they were presented with this season as anything else. The 1-4 finish was just the Jets being, well, the Jets. But I hold everyone from coaches to GM's to the players responsible. They voted for the Pro Bowl a few weeks too early.

ESPN just reported that Cowher is interested in speaking with the Jets. Perhaps he is the plan.

Since when has the Coach/GM thing been a good idea? I think cowher is a good coach but as far as I know has zero experience as a GM and are you gonna give him 10 million a year to learn on the job?

But that was a different team the last 5 games then we saw when they were winning 4 in a row. I just hope they don't bring in a guy like Marty Shottenheimer. And I have no idea what they are going to do with the QB situation. Hopefully Favre retires, but Clemens isn't the answer. Another fun off season as a Jets fan....

They weren't the same team. Talk about mentally fragile. One bad game against Denver, then the bottom falls out. Kris Jenkins DISAPEARED, and I believe he was basically a masking agent (kind of like andro) for the major deficiencies of that defense. Did Kerry Rhodes make even 1 play all season? Perhaps that game in Nashville was their Super Bowl?

I can't think of one good reason why Favre should return. If his shoulder was bad, he was hurting the team playing through it. If it wasn't, well he's just washed up. You know what else was strange in the final 5 games? Suddenly, none of the receivers were capable of getting open.. and against some of the worst pass defenses in the league???... ABSURD and DISGRACEFUL.
Which is why Mangini got what he deserved.

Favre better put in a full season of conditioning, if not, its time to retire.

FTFY.
Do you really think at this point of his career, that he is going to spend the off season conditioning to learn another totally different scheme?
I really think the only way Favre stays is if the JETS throw enough money at Mike Holmgren that he forgets about taking a sabatical and asks Brett to stay on for another year. Otherwise, Brett will be reciting that same retirement speech from last season.

I just find it odd that Bellychick's assistants, for the most part, have failed as head coaches.

It's also odd that the Patriots haven't been as dominant since they were caught CHEATING. GOD DAMN CHEATERS.!!!

LOLZ... 16-1 last year since Spygate and 11-5 with a career backup QB this year.
I'm a fan of a team in the same division and I STILL think that's impressive.

No explaining the Bellyboy's assistants not doing well as head coaches though, it's like sires I guess- an inexact science.

The pats were 2-4 against playoff teams this year. That would make them 9-1 against the dregs with the 1 coming at home to the jets. Of those 4 losses, 3 came by 20 points or more. What does that tell you?

Belichick is a good coach that caught lightning in a bottle with one Tom Brady. Look at his record before Brady. Nothing special.

Not to say that Belichick isnt a fine coach. Just to say that maybe the reason his assistants don't do so well when they leave is because of lack of brady.

It says a lot about a coach to me when their team/system succeeds with different QB's at the helm. It will be interesting to see how well Belichick does Post Brady.

Green Bay hired trainers and sent them to Mississippi to keep Favre in shape. Nothing happened this year, then Favre pulled his crap, and it showed down the stretch that he tired out.

Agreed that he wasn't good. But neither was the coaching, the play calling, the running game, the wide recievers. And then you had the defense.........
