What's the difference between the 5-2-1 @Giants and the 2-7 @nyjets? John Harbaugh. It's that simple. The overall rosters are pretty close. Bum Phillips used to say of Don Shula: "He can take his'n and beat your'n and take your'n and beat his'n." There's no doubt the Jets would be in playoff contention if they had Harbaugh. That's why Jets need to put full court press on Mike Tomlin assuming Aaron Glenn is fired after the season. Tomlin will immediately change the culture just as Harbaugh has done with the Giants.
Three key issues:
1. Does Tomlin have the desire to coach again? He seems to love working for NBC.
2. If he wants to coach, will he work for Woody Johnson? Harbaugh, Andy Reid and Sean Payton are each making $20 million a year, the most in the four major sports. Woody should offer Tomlin $25 million-$30 million a year. Johnson can afford it. He bought the Jets for $635 million in 2000 and they are now valued at $10.35 billion. Also give Tomlin final say on personnel.
3. Tomlin must hire a state-of-the-art offensive coordinator to work with the QB the Jets will take in the first round in April.
@Dr_Smay21 Mestermaker has question marks... experience, school, errant throws....
I am inclined towards Carr + Stewart/Simmons + Moore and a DT at #38...
... that would be a franchise altering draft
Probably wiser for the Jets than putting chips in 1 guy
@paffdaddy9 All these teams play each other...
Miami in a clear tank, Jets will win a couple and screw themselves as always ...
Colts is our best hope ...
Chargers could easily trade down...
Not sure how badly Mougey wants Mestermaker, sb fun
Jets fans... get ready towatch the Jets eff up their draft pos yet again by winning a couple meaningless games #Jets we have got to be the worst franchise ever
@RealGiants And one of Reese's 4.5 sacks of which 3 I believe came vs Peewee league Milton... was without a defender...
Reese literally has not really sacked the QB
Sacking Milton... hardly counts
