Quote from: DaveBrown74 on January 25, 2024, 11:50:04 AMWithout doing a major deep dive into this, I like the sound of this hire a lot. Those ST rankings are good considering the Jets overall talent level and general leadership in the past several years. I appreciate he wasn't the actual coordinator, but he surely had influence in his role. The Jets have also had good special teams people in the past, so there may be a bit of a tradition there. Mike Westhoff was one of the best in the business, and he was with them for over a decade.
I also suspect that the Giants have pretty good intel into the Jets' coaching staff due to mutual local contacts. So they probably know a lot about this guy and his abilities/potential.
Without being unnecessarily unkind, I'll also just say that almost anyone reasonably competent will be an improvement over our previous situation, and I'll leave it at that.
And this guy may well be more promising than just "reasonably competent."
I think it's hard to assess these sorts of hires. I suspect a lot of the hiring is based on the interview, which we are not privy to.
