Has there been any news on who has interviewed so far? I haven't seen anything.
I saw somewhere that Ron Rivera is already done as of Monday and Zimmer as of Tuesday. Durde and Harris probably cover our "minority interview" requirements but not sure if those have been done. I read somewhere that Durde has done an interview but with no real details.

So the confirmed interviews so far are Durde, Rivera, Zimmer and Ryan, with vague bullshit about Martindale thrown out by Broaddus.
Martindale is the one guy who would make me sick. Don't see what that guy has done to even warrant a look. Baltimore sure missed him when he left, right?

He's said a lot of harsh things about the team (mostly fair) on that ESPN morning show. They're resurface if he gets the job.
Would it be cynical enough to suggest that could be why Jerry interviewed him, to sweet talk him so maybe he isn't so harsh to the team?

Thoughts on Rex Ryan as DC? Could be interesting.
I think he's solid and we could do a lot worse.

I'm not really picky about this particular hire because I'm thinking next season is gonna be a wash anyway.

I'd be very surprised if we made the playoffs with the sort of environment we're creating for this team for next season.

I think he's actually an excellent DC, far better than his goofier brother.

In 2009 when we were #2 in scoring defense, his Jets were #1. I mean, you have to be elite defensively to get as far as they did with Mark Sanchez.

But his humongous ego seems like a very bad fit here. I could see him trying to Garrett McCarthy.

I don't care much either for the same reason but Ryan hasn't been in the league for damn near a decade.

A former HC like Zimmer or Rivera is fine and logical given their track records, but a guy who hasn't even been in the league for almost 10 years?

Have some self respect for yourself as a professional football organization.

We're still (barring injury) going to have a good QB, great WR, solid OL, good TE, and probably a decent to good defense.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we make the playoffs again. McCarthy is still a very good coach.

The issue to me is if we can win in the playoffs, which I doubt as of right now.

thats too damned long, you lose traction being away for that long. The game changes too quickly.

As for Rex Ryan, remember in Ghostbusters when they said that they should keep the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper apart, but then they got them together and all hell broke loose?

Keep in mind that Micah admitted to a foot fetish.

Getting those two together could be a disaster of biblical proportions.
