Right? I'd rather have Saleh over Kellen Moore or Witten. Hell hire Witten as an assistant and let him learn the ropes of coaching big time and see if he can work himself up. Don't just toss him into the big time.
The Rams would have to grant permission for a lateral move if he’s still under contract.
many don't like Saleh but I tend to agree with you. I don't think many can succeed in NYC, so I'm willing to give him a Mulligan. The guy didn't suddenly forget how to lead men and coach. Would he take the DC position if Zimmer retires? What if we can hire Glenn as HC with Saleh as DC? Then the question would be, whose the oc?
Never had a QB in New York hard to win without one !
yep and the culture THERE was horrible. The players in NYC never trusted their HC and became indifferent to the HC because of the owner/GM and the way the front office is ran. No coach has a chance in that scenario. Too many chiefs , not enough Indians there. In Dallas, at least if we get the right HC in, we can right the ship for a time. Even if its just 3 years. I feel like Saleh MIGHT come in here and shock us.
I really can't see this happening. I think it would be more realistic to be:
Very true, but people here expected us to carry on and win playoff games with Cooper Rush and/or Trey Lance.
I thought that at first, but he's saying HC and OC similar to MM calling plays I guess. Who knows. I don't see it happening.
Its time for a defensive minded head coach
I agree with the bolded part. The Jets are one of those organizations that take people that seem to have a lot of potential and turn them into nothing. No one has been able to be successful there in a long time. Honestly, I don't know a whole lot about Saleh as far as his personality, moreso just what he has done coaching. I'd be fine with him as HC as long as we get a good OC to go with him as I'm sure he'd be much more focused on the defensive side of things...which I'd rather have a guy who could oversee both but those types seem to be becoming more and more rare.
and what are the qualifications for being "all in"
Not so sure about this analysis. One of the reasons why Saleh was fired from the Jets was because of his on-going disaffection with the owner's wishes. Reportedly he wanted David Carr and not Aaron Rodgers. However, as Garrett recently quipped...there is no changing Jerry Jones:
possibly making him the assistant head coach could get him
With his WC Fields like nose, he definitely hits the liquor store.
Give him play calling responsibility and he can leave. McVay calls the plays with the Rams.
