From fired Jets OC to HC in the span of three seasons

SiphenPrax • 2,179 points

If he somehow turns around the Cardinals and Saleh somehow turns around the Titans just nuke the whole Jets organization

PapiRae • 591 points

That nuke will be Rex Ryan as your next HC once Glenn gets canned

A-Centrifugal-Force • 367 points

Still the most successful coach the Jets have had in decades lol

Different-Trainer-21 • 27 points

They actually had a pretty decent run of coaches in the late 90s and 2000s. Bill Parcells never had a losing season, Al Groh managed to have a winning record his only season, Herman Edwards made the playoffs 3 times in 5 years, Eric Mangini was bad but still reached the playoffs, and then obviously Rex Ryan

Belichick even coached for them!

Never lost a game!

Yea. But before he left the Jets he had already morphed into a ne’er-do-well, foot sniffing clown.

Throwawayforyoink1 • 66 points

That same foot sniffer beat the Pats in the divisional round in 2010, never forget 😉

Well_Dressed_Kobold • 30 points

I can see the banner: NYJ, 2010 AFC Finalists

Throwawayforyoink1 • 26 points

I mean for the Jets that’s pretty impressive. For the Patriots that means they were a disappointment for that particular season

Mathblasta • 3 points

With Mark Sanchez!

EthanSpears • 71 points

I will go further than what the others have said and say that Rex Ryan was a more successful head coach than the VAST majority of coaches in the new millennium. Dude went to two back to back AFC championships.

iUncouth • 27 points

With butt fumble himself as his QB too.

Soiak62 • 3 points

Ryan just needs a QB to take another stab at it.

Aenjeprekemaluci • 32 points

Yeah why do people shit him too much?

paone00022 • 37 points

His last season with Jets and the two subsequent seasons with Bills were pretty bad.

FlussedAway • 2 points

I see 2013 as an accomplishment that is an astonishingly bad roster to finish 8-8 with!

rocketboi10 • 22 points

Didn’t adjust his scheme when it was broken unfortunately

Acrobatic-Landscape9 • 18 points

“Darelle Revis, close off 1/2 of the field” is a pretty hard scheme to update.

rocketboi10 • 5 points

Also Jim Leonard was low key an unsung hero on that defense. He was the coach of the defense and had everybody lined up right. Once we lost him we consistently had breakdowns and guys in the wrong spot

Ice-Poseidon-Knows • 7 points

So did Zac Taylor (and he actually won one of those) and look at how he gets shit on here.

Accurate-Signature55 • 27 points

Zac Taylor has a legit franchise QB. Rex had Sanchez a bad football player and a worse person.

Aless_Motta • 8 points

Because the bengals have burrow, chase and higgins, which are amazing regardless of the coach, rex coached an insane defense and changed the culture of the jets.

Remarkable_Ship_4673 • 59 points

Dude was the best HC they had in decades

MarsBars_1 • 45 points

Grounds to be sent to the XFL

SiphenPrax • 9 points

That’s a slap on the wrist for them

uncoolaidman • 16 points

Sam Darnold wins the Super Bowl this year, and next year we get a Titans-Cardinals Super Bowl matchup, with Zach Wilson as the Cards QB, Garrett Wilson traded to the Titans and has a career year.

byronicbluez • 22 points

Saleh wanted Darnald and pretty much wanted to build the modern Seahawks in NY. Wilson, Hackett, and Rodgers were all forced on him.

rocketboi10 • 5 points

Early on maybe but Lafleur sold him on Wilson

Naganosupreme • 1 points

MLF banged on the table for Zach wtf are you talking about lol. That was Saleh’s OC hire and he went with what his OC wanted

GamingTatertot • 16 points

Dang now we need an Adam Gase redemption too

LuPeachemm • 48 points

They stopped teaching Critical Gase Theory

SiphenPrax • 11 points

Nah he’s basically the new Rich Kotite. All-time horrifically bad Jets season and then completely ran out of the league never to be heard from ever again.

RichAbbreviations966 • 2 points

Fuck that guy, complete freak in the most disturbing way possible. Genuinely creepy human being

fathertitojones • 13 points

Bearish on this hire, but I think Saleh will work out. I think most people agree he was fired unfairly and having seen the reports on his NYJ tenure, it actually seems like a miracle he won seven games. I think his arc may look just like Vrabel’s.

Aenjeprekemaluci • 9 points

Staff hires look good so far. Jets arent a metric of judging someone

What can McBae do for you?

ColtCallahan • 99 points

Sean McVay could get anyone hired.

NotNick_Foles • 36 points

His last name probably helps a little too

uggsandstarbux • 9 points

I mean all things considered, he was not incompetent with the Jets. Just had Zach Wilson as his QB

rocketboi10 • 4 points

He got super predictable towards the end of the 2022 season but that’s expected as a young guy. Still a good play designer just needs an experienced offensive coach on the staff to keep him on the rails

ColtCallahan • 20 points

It’s the McVay orbit. Scheelhaase getting interviews shows you that anyone around McVay can get interviews.

Kitchen_Catch3183 • 8 points

9 teams hired head coaches. None of them were from the Rams. Not single assistant coach was hired off the Rams this year for any position. The dumpster fire of the Cardinals are hiring a LaFleur while Shula stays for his third year as DC of the Rams.

EvaporatingOlaf • 23 points

A lot of failed Jets finding success once they leave

Jussttjustin • 6 points

Tbh someone should have given Engstrand a HC job. Just shorten the cycle a bit we can all see the pattern.
