Jets Coaching Situation and more

The Jets are looking for a new coach now. Mangini was fired on Monday and that was a move that needed to be made. There are a lot of people blaming this move on Favre, and certainly he is not without blame, but come on. Mangini made so many questionable decisions that it was blatently obvious that he had to go. We won at least 2 games in spite of him. The first Buffalo game, we stopped the Bills as they were driving. Fourth down, right? Not so fast! There is a holding penalty on the play and Mangini accepts the penalty. Buffalo goes on to get a first down and would have scored if it wasn't for their own ineptitude. Perhaps they were trying to outdue Mangini.



On that note, we should have lost the second Buffalo game if it wasn't for Jauron having a brain cramp and deciding to throw a rollout pass when they could have easily run out the clock.



The second example is against the hated Patriots. We were all over them and Mangini decides to go into the prevent for the entire second half. I can't tell you how many times he rushes 3 men and everyone sits back passively. What a joke. Whoever thinks that Matt Cassel is a good quarterback based on that little league defense needs to have their head examined. His throws were late, and behind wide open receivers. Against anything greater than our Pee Wee Defense he would have been average. Heck, Little Sisters of the Poor could have thrown for at least 300 yards against that scheme, if you want to call it that.



So now, all the whiney Jets fans who hated Mangini down the stretch and began calling for his job last year, feel that he should keep his job because Brett Favre is the problem. Brett was a problem, but he wasn't the one making Matt Cassel, Shaun Hill, Jamarcus Russell, Tyler Thigpen, and Ryan Fitzpatrick look like the second coming of Unitas. Our defense couldn't stop anyone and they couldn't make the adjustments once they got torched. That's neither here nor there though. The Jets fans are already posturing by saying that they don't want Cowher or that we shouldn't have fired Mangini. They're insufferable. No matter what decision the Jets make, it's wrong in their eyes. Now, the owner is dysfunctional, according to this knowledgable fan base. They'll probably blame their pathetic lives on him, also.
