Ron Rivera to the Jets? 🤦‍♂️

[skinzplay]

The media in that NY market would eat RR alive. Can't possibly be anything more than a courtesy nod, merely for public consumption. If Johnson's Jets are in bad shape now, just hire RR and watch him work his magic.

Getting the Rooney Rule out of the way early.

Ron is a really bad gm...questionable HC...but a really good person

I wish him luck. He probably doesnt need the money anymore. Would he make a better coordinator or pos coach?

Yeah, I would be stunned if they hired Rivera. Ryan? Maybe, although I think he would find out quickly that the NFL has changed a lot since the last time he's been on the sidelines. If I were the Jet's owner, I'd be cruising the hotshot young college coaching ranks looking for the next big thing. Because it's doubtful a retread can rescue that mess of a franchise. And the ones that might be able to aren't going to want to deal with that owner or Aaron Rodgers.

Stunned for sure. I think Rex can probably still coach and lead, but I agree that there's been so much change since he was last on the sidelines. One good thing about Ryan is he can put together a very strong staff, which would help tremendously. For the sake of Jets fans, I hope they move on from Rodgers.

As Chris mentioned, Rooney rule hurdle cleared.

Rivera has made it clear: he wants to coach in ANY capacity; head coach OR DC. Rex Ryan (the other RR?) - I think he is too arrogant to go for DC right now? Not sure. Anyway, it could be double-horrible RRs in play for NYJ. Stay tuned as they find more creative ways to not field good teams. I am not a fan of Rex Ryan - I actually don't think he is a horrible head coach, but I don't like the guy and I also don't see him able to win the Super Bowl. I think he did OK with his personnel before, but not great, and his enormous ego combined with limited analytical skills will always bias me to being a huge doubter.
