Coaching decision coming for Jets
Tomorrow, the New York Jets will begin a series of interviews, seeking to replace former head coach Herman Edwards.
On tap for the Jets: extensive conversations with New England Patriots defensive coordinator Eric Mangini and former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice.
So far, Mangini appears to be the favorite. That's a good choice. Even though he's only 35, Mangini's relatively young age should not be considered a negative. In my view, the Jets players should be able to relate more with a younger coach. Also, I don't think Mangini will scalp Super Bowl tickets as Tice did.
The Jets often generate negative publicity with their less-than-stellar play on the field. They don't need their coach to make headlines for the wrong reasons.
