That certainly puts a damper on this win, he is one of the best ST coaches in the game. Although with Leon and Miller we should be good but he has turned Wallace Wright into one of the best ST cover guys in the league.
He's been a premier ST coach for a long time. i hope he gets to enjoy his retirement in the best health possible under the circumstances.
Aw fuck. Shit. Hell. Damnit. We should've given him the HC position instead of Herm. I wish him the best, anyway. This season he couldn't even stay on the sidelines all practice or game with his cane without sitting down and he was relegated to booth duty one time due to health concerns. It's been a damn good run.
I appreciate him making us watchable for those 5 or so plays a game where his responsibility took the field.
You had to know he was approaching the end sooner rather than later but it still sucks. Our best coach over the last 6 seasons. Best of luck buddy.
First we stumble our way out of a top 5 draft pick,then our best coach retires. What's next? Mangini pouring sugar down our gas tanks while anally raping our grandmothers?
Yeah I just became aware of it yesterday from the NY Times. Here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/29/sports/football/29jets.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
