Defensive Coach Hunt

There is no good reason for the Jets to not hire Jim Leonard, unless, he has changed his mind about being willing to come here. He accepted an interview which indicates genuine interest. He is not getting hired by any other team. The opinion league wide is that he is a terrific option and by far the best on the Jets list of 8. He is available to sign a contract, right now. If the Jets don't sign him, they should get it done today, they are beyond stupid and that would piss me off to the point where I might finally, after 57 years, say screw this team and stop being a fan.

Did you say good reason & the jets in the same statement?

LOL, yes I did. It hard to believe that those two words could be used in the same sentence based on Jets history but if the Jets don't start right now, this off season, making good sense decisions I can't continue to support them. Woody has decided, I guess, to give Glenn a pass on this horrible excuse of a season. I get that. It's his first time as a head coach. He deserves to be cut some slack. Mouge is a first timer too but at least his decisions have been fairly reasonable. Glenn, not so much. I'm old. I'm running out of patience with this organizations front office and coaching staff. They have turned this team into so much of a mockery that I'm embarrassed to tell anyone that I'm a Jets fan. Wink isn't a bad coach but his football knowledge is stale and he's been out of coaching awhile. Leonhard is current with how football is played today. He excels at coaching and teaching and has shown himself to have a very good defensive mind. He is heads and tails a better, more qualified candidate for a DC position than Wink. Unless the immediate future of the Jets defense looks bright no players, especially QBs, will want to play here. If they pass on Leonard to hire Wink I will have a very hard time seeing that as smart.

First, you just had back to back posts that are too long for @Bigmoe to read

second. I can’t remember second

oh yeah second, if you stop being a fan you’ll be joining the rest of us. The only difference with not being a fan is that while you are watching the game, you are not in any way paying attention to it. You only have it on out of habit

inever know what’s going on in the games anymore. My wife is constantly asking , what happened there or did you see that? And I can only answer, I have no idea. You know I’m not paying attention

Yeah. What with the 2 3 peats in 7 years, the whole nfl and its fans will be tired of them again
The good news is, this will get brady out of retirement to stop all his records from being broken. I hear he has given up on liposuction and bad cosmetic surgery and he’s now looking into bionics in case he needs to return

I know, but he has sort of gotten used to reading my post in stages so he'll be alright. Second. If I stop being a fan I won't waste any time watching games. I will probably still check on you guys from time to time to make sure none of you have taken long walks off short piers because of the utter stupidity of this teams support staff.

I'm back already.............I just read multiple articles claiming that Wink isn't a shoe-in for the DC job, BECAUSE, get this..........Glenn is considering keeping Harris as his DC but calling the plays himself. He couldn't handle the head coaching job last season but now he wants to do both. Unfu***ng believable.

I'm firmly on the fire Glenn train if this turns out to be true.
He did a great job in 24 missing 13 players, but was bad the 3 years prior with a full roster

Why are Jets fans so sold on Jim Leonhard, who has no experience calling an NFL defense? Because he played for the Jets? If that goes as well as it did with Aaron Glenn, fans will want him fired in a week. And now some fans are angry with the idea of replacing Engstrand with Frank Reich as OC? This fan base is absolutely bonkers.

Engstram gone but with no replacement yet. It could be that the deal has already been done with Reich. Glenn is acting like a chicken with his head off,

Basically Leonhard did call defense at the college level but primarily every defense he has worked with improved a lot and each time he left the defenses fell apart. Other teams wanted him but because his team was still playing they couldn't do in person interviews or sign him. They were afraid that if they didn't sign somebody else while they were still available they would not get a decent DC at all. Matt LaFleur actually said that when asked why he didn't wait. He is highly respected in the NFL as a defensive coach.

Here's the thing with Leonhard - convincing Jets fans that a guy who has called plays only in college is ready to be a Jets coordinator would almost always lead to torches and pitchforks. But Leonhard played for the Jets, so it's different. Except it's not different, because Glenn had a more storied playing career with the Jets and the fans gave him a few weeks before wanting him gone.
I really, really, really do not understand this fan base at all.

Gotcha covered. That being said, none of them have NFL experience until they get experience. I understand the Jets fan base completely. They are FRUSTRATED by an organization that just can't seem to get it right.

It’s jus absurdity with this guy
