This is pretty strange, they wanted him back but basically pretended they didn't and then had no backup plan beyond that. My guess is Mike wanted nothing to do with Jerry and Stephen anymore.

1. Ochoa is an odd fellow to me with some frequency.

2. Evaluating the field, they didn't see an obviously better option, so of course they didn't look to formulate a back-up plan.

3. Evaluating the field and the time constraints, the lack of said plan has objectively, tangibly, empirically not hurt them. They've lost out on Vrabel, but it's a hard sell that Vrabel was absolutely the best of the Plan Bs, and that, even after you account for the fact that the Pats were the odds-on favorite to land him regardless.

4. The very fact that all of us fans are so divided about what a Plan B should look like... ie, that there's no automatically-smart-move to be had... kinda makes Ochoa's headline impotent.

It's just too easy for these bloggers to beat up on the Joneses and expect clicks. Gets silly sometimes.

These guys are not playing Chess.

Hell, even checkers requires you to think a move or two ahead, which these guys aren't doing.

These guys are playing wack-a-mole.

But like, drunk wack-a-mole, and only kinda sorta.

Yes we know

 

[Rayman70]

IF TRUE, this would be stunning and over the top, even for the Jones bunch. I guess its a glimpse into the mind of 2 arrogant and delusional guys that simply don't have a clue. I still think Jerry and Stephen had to know this was coming.

having a plan B implies there was a plan A.

I am sure this is how it went down. I am sure Jerry was yelling, "Mike, come back here!! Mike, I am not gonna say it again!!" Wouldnt be surprised if Mike gave him the bird on the way out.

Mike popped a squat lol....THEN said your welcome and ba bye.

Jerry is so arrogant, he couldn't comprehend a coach wouldn't bow down, kiss the ring, and beg to come back to serve in his kingdom at any price.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Ok I get how these "reports" come out we are suppose to believe them and they may be true but....this team didn't act like someone who wanted him back. Dating back to last offseason...I don't know this is odd.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Do you really need a backup plan though? Coach leaves....you go and find another one. This stuff happens. Not having any plan though is the issue.

Can you believe that this franchise run in this crap manner is the most valuable franchise on the planet? How?
