Rumored Names: Quinn, Bowles, Cable, Reich, Kubiak

Manish Mehta seems to be going negative pretty fast on Marrone. He is setting himself up to be 1st in line to bash the hire if it happens. His negativity just makes me want Marrone more.

I am not saying he would be a bad hire, but why not interview all the candidates? Like I said, he doesn't have the resume of Bill Parcells at this point in his career, so the Jets should do their homework.

I didn't the Bills offense was anything to great, but you make fair point given their injuries and QB situation.

If you think the press was bad before, Marrone will get KILLED by the local press.

Why? The biggest sports journalism program around is Syracuse, and Marrone left Syracuse for the NFL. Built-in bias. They will try to destroy him.

Mother Theresa would have been destroyed by the Jets media the 1st time she drafted a player who didn't make All Pro as a rookie

You have built in scandal, imperfections, second guessing, and Monday morning quarterbacking with anyone the Jets hire

Tom Cable seems the most likely to be savaged,but they'll all get it. Quinn got credit for Carroll's defense, Bowles is no better qualified than Rex and Jets needed offense, Kubiak is a retread, Reich is a Bill and too inexperienced

Rex Ryan was a joke, both locally and nationally, until the Jets dumped him. Then he became the best coach anyone has ever seen.

It's absolutely ridiculous. It's as if the media, national and local, are just trolls from other teams' fan bases.

Frank Reich reportedly at the top of Bills HC list...makes sense to me!

What about Norv Turner ? He's an offensive genius, loved by his players, and was fired in his last gig with the Chargers after going 14-2. I can't imagine a HC getting fired in the NFL after going 14-2.

Go Jets...Cyborg

Norv is in the middle of working his magic with Bridgewater, I think it's too early for him to jump off this ship yet. Maybe next year.

I could definitely see Reich taking the reins in Buffalo. Good fit.

As a headhunter, I found that 2 things candidates love the most, is to be promoted to the top, and to double their salary demands. I think Turner would bolt Bridgewater & the Vikings in a NY second to be a HC again ? We'll never know unless he's on Casserly or Wolfs buddy list !!!!?

norv turner is a great coordinator, but is not a head coach that will win the title. he's sort of like marty s. good enough to make the playoffs and then flop.

i'd rather some young coach than an old retread like norv.

Cimini, Kimberly A Martin, and I believe Adam Schein all went to Syracuse and love Marrone. Serby of the Post is pushing hard for Marrone as well. Manish might be all alone on this one(well, maybe his buddies Walder & Myers too).

Giant Myers is clearly in Manish's corner.

Not sure how Rex was a joke nationally ... the majority of the national media said Rex shouldn't be fired and was a very good HC... The beat writers locally Mehta and Nationally Cimini are a joke and try to keep the circus in town forever.

Didn't Chitty's dad get canned in the same way?

Those same national media members( Kirwan, Brandt, etc), back in 2013, said Ryan cost the Jets the opportunity at strong gm candidates because none of them wanted to keep him. now, when the Jets fire Ryan, they sing a different tune. It's predictable; whatever the Jets do, most media will take the opposite side.

It's a satire. DeCosta turned down the GM interview with the Jets, and Mehta says we missed out on "the transformation of the organization". It's amazing how these guys can see into the future with assistant GM's. And of course, the Jets lose out again. If only Woody Johnson listened to Manish Mehta more. We'd be an elite franchise.

Manish Mehta is utterly scurrilous. That having been said, I am not going to go all in on Doug Marrone out of pure Mehta spite. I really hope that Woody & Advisors have a process in place that they stick to, and that whatever allowed Idzik to get through the process last time has been amended in the current process. Hire the GM first, let him hire the HC.

I really want us to be patient also. A great coach will likely fall in our lap after we secure our GM. Teams are going to rush and sign Rex, Marone, Bowles, Hamilton, Marrone, etc...and when guys like Quinn, Gase, and Bevell shake free, I think only 1-2 spots are going to be open.

No need to rush! Get the right GM first.

Mehta behaves like a petulant child. And from a personal standpoint, that makes me root for people he's so seemingly adverse to.

But it's been said that the GM/HC search has been simultaneous. Trying to find two people cut from the same cloth, possibly with some history together. I think it's actally a safer approach than putting two people together and hoping it works, based on reputation or first impressions. Taking a HC based on the package deal understanding. If "A" comes, "B" will be right behind.

Bills trying to arrange interview with Frank Reich on Sunday in San Diego before he leaves for his interview at the Jets.

Reich is last on my list of preferred Jets coaches from the rumored short list

I'm a little wary of Reich, too. Not enough time as a coordinator.

I agree with this. Mehta is awful, but I am not sold on Marrone. I think Marrone is an intriguing candidate, and needs to be strongly considered, but he's not the sole candidate of note.

I'd prefer the team went GM first. However, some coaches may get scooped up pretty quickly, and a team may have to jump to get the coach they want. That said, I'd like to think that any potential coaching hire would have the nod of approval from the top list of GM candidates as someone with whom they'd like to work.
