I think an assistant to a position coach is more of a helper and learner than a real coach.
Yeah, I don't think it matters that much. Probably Hackett told Mike this was a promising guy who might be a good coach someday.

Well since Hackett is a clown, that is a little concerning.

This guy is just an underling, but how are Jets fans handling Hackett as their OC after that disaster? Very weird hire IMO.

I dont even remember the guy. Darian Thompson who?
He was a relatively high draft pick from Boise I think by the Giants, interesting that we're bringing in so many guys that played so recently as lower level coaches.

Remember that Sharif Floyd was the player who wasn’t quick twitch enough for Marinelli.
Yeah that was one of those first examples of "this is the scouts top guy" but he isn't what the coach wants. Was that the year we traded down and took Frederick? Which yeah moving down from 18 to 31, we got pretty shitty value in the trade. But on the flip side of it we got Frederick who was a better player than Floyd.

Yes, it was also the impetus for McClay taking over the draft process, and I think largely the impetus for Stephen more or less taking over the overall football operation.

Yeah which was a good thing. Despite Frederick being a great pick the rest of that draft kind of blew.

Escobar - Second
Terrance Williams - Third
JJ Wilcox - Third
BW Webb - Fourth
Joseph Randle - Fifth
Hollomon - Sixth

Terrance Williams was a good #2 type for a bit. But for the most part that draft was trash outside of the first. Especially when you consider the extra third round pick.

Yea, we've been one of the best drafting teams since 2014.

Without looking at anything I'd also guess that we've had one of the best regular season records in the NFC over that time as well, despite having that anchor of a HC around our necks for the majority of that time. Of course we all know what's been missing, so hopefully they can get over that hurdle here sometime soon.
