Texansfan713 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Mullen overrated so it makes sense the Jets would hire him. I rank the NFL HC job openings 1. Jags 2. Texans 3. Jets 4. Lions 5.

Based on what I've heard read from people around JAX there's serious issues/a rift between Mullen and the elites at Florida. Sounds like he's trying to move on.

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Wink Martindale would be a great head coach for someone who needs a culture change or has no locker room culture at all. He won’t singlehandedly build you a super bowl team but he will help you build a good tight-knit group of guys and calls a high-IQ defence. Total players coach but still old school and hard nosed but respected by and respectful with players in a way guys like Matt Patricia weren’t. DCs are a hard sell for head coach but Harbaugh was a specials guy so maybe Wink has learned a thing or two about team and game management as well as playcalling in a way some guys don’t experience Edited January 4, 2021 by ThatJaxxenGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob close with NYJ for me, maybe higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvadorsDeli Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The Jags messaging that they wanted someone with HC experience seems like an indication they already know who their guy is - a lot of the speculation on that is focused on Urban Meyer but I could see that being the Dan Mullen fit as well.

Sounds like that may be overblown. Urban is probably near the top but Daboll appears to be high on our list atm as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Caldwell coming in as a transition coach for a few years would be a good get IMO, but I don’t know if they will be that patient in their approach.

Mullen seems like a guy that could be a PITA to deal with too.. A good chunk of the fanbase is furious. I don't know about the admin. Mullen is a brilliant offensive mind and a great QB developer, but he doesn't hold his assistants accountable. He refuses to fire the garbage DC who cost us a chance to play for a NC this year, and many of the fans are absolutely irate over it. (I would bet the boosters are too.) Instead, he scapegoated one of the best assistant coaches on the team (Torrian Gray) to save Grantham's worthless butt. And that's the tip of the iceberg (fans are also fed up with the OL Coach Hevesy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans 3. Jets 4. Lions 5. Falcons If Chargers available then they are 2. JAgs - Shad Khan having player personnel control is a big no no for me. Texans - Easterby is a horrible influence there Jets - Just a cluster, but could be better. Solid GM to work with and owners are willing to put the money into the product Lions - Solid overall situation Falcons - Owner cares and will give you everything you need to succeed. Has future HOF QB and WR, solid overall roster of guys and is less pieces away than the other spots outside of Houston. IF I was to rank them: 1) NY Jets 2) Falcons 3) Lions 4) Jags 5) Texans The Shad Khan wanting player personnel control would be a huge turn off for me.

Wanting to be in the fold when a contract is given out and up to date with moves is what most owners do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rank the jobs like this: 1) Jags - best draft capital, best overall set of assets to work with 2) NY Jets - owners will dump money in 3) Falcons - see Jets, but with a tough cap situation, but closer than most to playoff contention. 2-9 in 1 score games this year due to coaching more than anything else. 4) Lions 5) Chargers 6) Texans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Buzz Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Chargers are legit attractive due to Herbert, but that ownership situation is an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
