I didn't realise the Patriots won . Carolina may sticks with Bryce Young who's looked comfortable the last half of the season, if not get Fields off the Steelers
Cleveland. Tennessee. Big Blue. But the Pat’s ain’t fucking around. Just binned HC Jerod Mayo after one season. Won’t be the last head too roll in the next 24 hours.!
They’re going for Vrabel, aren’t they?!
Which means the Jets had better have a plan B that isn’t just Rex Ryan or Rivera!

I was half expecting to lose but didn't think we'd get smashed.
Still Lions v Chiefs should be a good superbowl, that's if they don't meet before then?

I think both him and Schoen are safe. Last week just proved he can get good stuff out of half decent QB’s. The problem has always been Jones.!

Some good news after a season of shit. We get the 3rd pick in the draft. So even if the top two QB’s go. We got Travis Hunter.
GO G MEN.
I think the Patriots take him, Maye's showed a lot of potential. You'll still get a QB

Yep - absolute madness that we didn’t have solid cover for Tua. Obvious to everyone that he wouldn’t be able to play a whole season.

Fucking Chiefs!
I know that they don't have to bother and the Dolphins would fall in the first play off game anyway but it still pisses me off.
Not having a half way decent back-up QB killed us.

Final Sunday of the regular season and some key playoff places still to be sealed.
And then the madness of Black Monday and the scramble to recruit new coaches. Let the mayhem begin…

it's like having full control of mk dons, the bloke is a definite oddball.
I agree. And that will be the risk with Johnson this winter: he’s entirely unproven as a HC, but some sides will hurl big offers at him.
By most accounts, he’s very talented. But you just never know how, or if, somebody will step up from co-ordinator to HC. Saleh looked like a guy who might, and yet if anything he was getting a tiny bit worse by the end of his first stab at it (he’ll be back, wiser, at some point: like Pete Carroll, Todd Bowles etc).
Jets might have to back away from the Johnson hype if it gets too loud and expensive. Vrabel was a good interviewee, I’m sure, and we could do with a solid, old skool rebuild rather than another big reach - despite Johnson’s obvious potential.
I’d be happy with Vrabel, if I’m honest. No guarantees, of course, but he feels Jets-like.

this isn't surprising, given that he refused an interview by text with our gm (adam peters) as they were flying out to meet him. other than the weather, why would you want the fucking jags job?
He’s being savvy because he’s in demand (more than anybody else). He’s going to roll into that Jags interview and demand wide-ranging powers and complete control of the side. Which the desperate Jags might offer. He’s also going to demand big wages. Which the Jags may or may not offer.
He’s basically demanding a blank cheque in Jacksonville.
But he’ll be laying down a marker for other franchises. Anybody who then wants to beat the Jags to him (and there will be several sides) will have to match, or better, his team demands - and might have to offer him even more money.
Rightly or wrongly, he’s the most sought after potential new HC. So he’s got #1 draft pick-style leverage!

Daniels could become one heck of a player. He’s already very good, and he’s a rookie. Are you interested in a swap with an ageing MVP and self-regarding darkroom philosopher?

Favourite Mike Vrabel quote:
Interview Question: Would you cut your dick off for a Superbowl win as a coach?
Vrabel's answer: "Well, I've been married 20 years. So, yes. Probably."
That's what's needed in New York. But after he wins a Superbowl. We've already had quite a few dickless and winless coaches.

Serious point is that Vrabel is one of four I'd interview for the Jets job.
Johnson (Detroit OC), Vrabel, Glenn (Detroit DC and ex-Jet) and Monken (Baltimore OC).
I'd probably take one of those four. But the really important Q will be whether Woody rejoins Trump's ambassadorial team and relieves himself from running the Jets while he's overseas. Then we can appoint a decent GM and, who knows, maybe even start to change the loser culture! The risk is that Woody hands over to his brother again...he appoints a "yes man" GM and it's just more of the same shite...

Jets are going to interview Mike Vrabel.
He's not the very best coach around, but he's by no means the worst.
Frankly, "he's not the worst" is about as good as it gets for us after this season plus 14 years without the play-offs.
Guy's got a chip on his shoulder, too, which I think will actually help him in New York. This is the city of punk, McEnroe and hip-hop. "Fuck you" should be the Jets' motto.
