Its true with a lot of coaches... but it worries me with him. Much like Bienamy without his guys. This is an added reason I like Daboll. I think we have more talent now then when Saleh first got to SF - look at what he does with players. Look at Jason Verrett I'm honestly not worried about that at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less points your opponent scores the better. Yeah 25th and 28th those first two seasons taking over the league's worst defense. I imagine it takes a year or two to fix the NFL's worst unit. So you don't care about yards at all? Even though points could be skewed by special teams TDs, pick 6's, etc. Plus finishing this season 17th with all the injuries they had is pretty damn impressive to me. Guess we just interpret "above average" a bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't thorough at all unless every other candidate bombed and Saleh had an amazing interview it just doesn't make sense. Like I'd be happy with Saleh too but I'd feel like we rushed. I don’t think it’s rushed for a couple reasons. 1. In JD’s words he did cast a wide net and interviewed I believe 7 candidates. So it’s not like he wasn’t thorough in that regard. 2. After the initial interviews if you know who you want you go for it before someone else does. You don’t want someone to act too slowly and patient and not get the person they want and are forced to settle. I trust JD and would love the Sallah hire if it’s true and that’s the way they go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we just interpret "above average" a bit different. Yards is often times a function of the distance a team has travel so if you have good special teams or bad special teams it plays a role. Rex's defenses suffered points wise because of offenses couldn't move the ball so teams didn't have to go the length of the field to score so our defensive ranking in terms of yards was low but we couldn't stop teams from scoring. Pick 6s dont count towards points against your defense Above average is league average, thats how I interpret it. I think he's a good coach but using the talent argument his first two years contradicts a lot of people who criticized other coaches for not succeeding with less talent as well.

I would give Daboll, Staley and Bieniemy shots to prove themselves this weekend and really stand out. A huge part of the reason Saleh is a top candidate is the SB run the 49ers made and if a lot of teams had been patient he might have been hired last off-season.

JetsandI Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) The reason media thought Jets' HC was Saleh's to take tonight is Daboll, Staley and Bieniemy can't meet with Jets in person until their respective team is actually done playing football game. Waiting for those guys may be problematic for someone who worries about assembling staffs (Earliest hire better gathering staffs) Eberflus and Smith are no slouch so Jets have no reason to skip in person meeting with both unless JD is already sold on Saleh. That part we certainly don't know yet. Edited January 12, 2021 by JetsandI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good search sometimes takes a couple weeks doing several interviews with multiple guys. Really making sure you get a guy your on the same page with and you trust. JD won’t rush a hire Bc of rumors and with pretty much everyone he’s interviewed (might be everyone) still available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvez is a fairly well respected co-host with Gil Brandt, Polian and several others on the SeriusXM NFL Network. I've listened to him for years. Well reasoned and well informed. Not a gossip type. He's into wrestling. I know some very smart, reasonable people who love that stuff. Not my thing, but not any reason to cast doubt on sources here.

NJC33 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 2 hours ago, KingOfNewYork said: How do you guys feel about Saleh only coaching one above average defense in his 4 years as a coordinator? Worth noting, but I feel like Saleh is better suited to be a HC. Just a hunch, nothing objective to back it up, but the guy just seems like that CEO type I want cultivated a culture here.

You know how Jets fans are. If they sign him tonight, it will be no doubt: "JD in a state of panic! too soon! SOJ!" and those will be the polite bashings. If Saleh is driven back to Morristown Airport and ends up signing somewhere else in the next 2 days it will be "blew the best opportunity! Too chicken to pull trigger. Sniped by the Lions... " and on and on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it rushed? We interviewed like 12 candidates. Who else are we waiting on? Other teams are going to start offering positions to guys so if you love a guy why not go get him. What more can you learn about the guys you interviewed by waiting. JD obviously has a good feel for all of the candidates and may have it down to a few favorites.

Yup because ever since this news broke fans have been all over Saleh so if we dont get him then we missed the board and blew it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would assume after the first round of interviews they would narrow it down to a few guys they really like not just one guy. Thats the part that feels rushed. I have more faith in JD to do it so maybe its just the PTSD in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
