OT: 2025 NY Jets Off Season Thread

Can’t even speculate about the draft until the GM and coach are in place. My guess is Mayo got fired because Vrabel is a lock to NE…which just sucks. Really wanted him coaching the Jets.
 
Contingent Vrabel goes to NE would like to see Ben Johnson coach Jets.

He ll be highly coveted and hopefully offensive weapons like Garrett Wilson / Breece Hall can entice him.
 
Johnson would love Rex.
Rex pretty much said the last time that he's not interested in offense (which we all knew).
Sounds like a Johnson hire right there

Ben Johnson has his pick of any job that opens. It isn’t likely he picks the Jets dysfunctional organization.

Would like to see Johnson but Woody seems to like hires from the defense side of the ball. Edwards, Mangini, Ryan, Bowles and Saleh.
The exception was the "QB Whisperer" Adam Gase and that didn't work out so well.

Johnson is going to be very picky about which job he takes, and with several other openings at teams that have a young QB to work with the Jets wouldn’t be at the top of anyone’s list.

It’s amazing that the Jets could be so inept to base an idea that all OCs won’t work on their experience of hiring a former OC who had just failed at another team.

The Jets draft at 6 with a loss today, 8 with a win.
Even with their win, they are drafting 7. It came down to the tiebreaker math with Carolina, which in turn came down to last night's Detroit-Minnesota game. The Jets needed the Vikings (whom they had played) to lose, this weakening the Jets overall strength of schedule enough to eke ahead of the Panthers.

Conceptually, it's an interesting tiebreaker. When two sucky teams have the same record, which sucked worse? The NFL's answer is that the one who sucked against the suckier schedule sucked worse.

My awful Raiders are picking 6th. They had the #1 pick locked up until those losers won two games. :)
 
Has there been any word on the physical progress of Jordan Travis??? Will this guy ever suit up for an NFL game?
Answer to your first question is that his recovery is taking longer than expected. Whether he will be ready for OTA's in May is uncertain.

Answer to your second question is God only knows.

Our old friend Aditi K, who now works for CBS, went on record that Vrabel interviewed with the Jets to get Kraft's attention, and impel him to open up the Patriots job, which he did.
 
I would try to get an experienced , more fundamental HC for the Jets. The biggest problem this year was a poorly coached team which made mistakes in crucial situations, lacked mental discipline and toughness. They lost 5 games holding a lead going into the 4th Q. Too many dumb penalties which were repeated, no accountability. Don’t think they have any shot at Vrabel. Even though Pete Carrol is older, he is a youthful 73. Think he could settle the waters. They need a good GM and should get the prospective HC’s input. The less WJ is involved, the better.
 
Carrol round 2? Has anyone ever coached for the same team, 30 years apart?

Carrol was prematurely fired by Leon Hess -- who then doubled down on that mistake by bringing in Rich Kotite. Just shows the Jets have been a mess for most of our lifetimes.

Jets are a top example of why owners matter.
The owners who actually love football really shine compared to the football as hobby/investment crowd
 
Jets are at a crossroads. This was a team constructed to win now. They did not. So now what? Run it back? Blow it up? Some combination of the two? Does Woody even understand the questions? Will be interesting. Probably in the "may you live in interesting times" sense.
 
In the likely circumstance, Ben Johnson lands elsewhere :

How about Kingsbury?

Did a great job with Jayden Daniels.

Maybe Gruden?

Rizzi started his coaching career in 1993 as a graduate assistant at Colgate, working his way up to head coach at the University of New Haven from 1998-2001 before coming back home to be the Rutgers' special teams coordinator from 2002-07.
 
Dan Graziano, Jets beat reporter for ESPN, reports that at this time the Jets have three favorites - Mike Vrabel, Aaron Glenn, and Brian Flores.

Problem is, Vrabel is close to being a Patriots lock, and Glenn is considered a Saints lean. Flores has interest from both Bears and Jaguars. Jets could get shut out on all three.

Well there's always Rex, whom no one else seems to want.

I would be good with Flores. I thought he did a good job at Miami and kind of got screwed. He would bring toughness and accountability, he’s a NY guy and wouldn’t put up with nonsense.

It sounded like Flores’ interpersonal skills needed some work based on how he was perceived in MIA, but he was absolute right in pushing back on the idea of betting the team’s future on Tua.

Think Flores will be a good coach, but no matter how much he's learned / improved, I'd still hesitate to pair him with a rookie QB.

I wouldn’t want him to have much to do with the offense except for “managing” the overall team. The OC hire will be inportant with any of these defensive guys mentioned.
