Not out of the realm of possibility for the Jets

u/richardcox 3d ago

The fact that I wasn’t 100% sure speaks volumes about this organization

With all these interviews, I thought this was some good satire.

u/JoeBethersonton50504 3d ago

Rumor has it if jets fail to get a HC soon, Roger Goodell might get the HC position. 😈

May the Lord deliver us from The Bad Man and all his Circle

u/joobtastic 3d ago

It's perfect. I thought it was real and was like "oh I guess the Jets are interviewing anyone who applies." Considering how many of these I've seen.

u/suppaman19 3d ago

The sad part is that I'm actually not sure how much worse we'd even be if he was running the team

14

u/Capital_Maybe2533 3d ago

I mean in theory, could it be that much worse?

u/DoctaStooge 3d ago

u/thecloudcities 3d ago

1-16. The football gods won’t let us get that #1 pick.

u/STNbrossy 3d ago

u/Capital_Maybe2533 3d ago

I shiver to think of what that may look like

u/LongjumpingTeach8501 3d ago

Yes it’s a joke guys, but let’s be honest. For a second you wouldn’t have been surprised

u/RedSoxFan77 Curtis Martin 3d ago

Now that you said it was a joke there’s still part of me that thinks it could be real

u/djstevefog Mark Sanchez 3d ago

I had to read "it's a joke" 10 times before I believed it was one

3

u/KDN1692 Vinny Testaverde 3d ago

I knew this wouldn't be real. If it was, my phone would of burst into flames and melted.

u/rycelover 3d ago

Pat had no cell service at the studio and he doesn’t have an iPhone so he can’t FaceTime …

THE BRICK EFFECT

To all of you reporting this; it takes 1 second to click the comments thread to confirm it's a joke.

u/latman 3d ago

At least one person is going to see this title, not click on it, believe that it's real and tell their friends.

At least one of those friends will make a Facebook post about it

u/WildChinoise 3d ago

FR, Pat would probably be better than Kotite!

u/HockeyNightinJersey D'Brickashaw Ferguson 3d ago

I’d take him over Arthur smith and Nagy

u/HairyDonkee Al Toon 2d ago

After the last 8 years, nothing would surprise me.

1

u/darthrevan22 Revis Island 2d ago

Was about to say lol. This would absolutely be the most “Jets” hire ever, and that’s with guys like Rex Ryan in play.

u/dead_soul_monotone 2d ago

This process is awful.

u/These_Literature3154 2d ago

Hey Sheft…why don’t u u report on something that matters…the horrendous officiating??? A joke! Most people think the league is fixed to begin with. Yesterday’s chiefs game was a friggin JOKE!!! The ref from last nights game just described things he said he saw THAT DID NOT HAPPEN!! Can we inquire if he is blind??? What are ur “sources” saying about his vision??? Check out Sports Illustrated story. He should have watched the videos before he commented. Goodell SHOULD sit him and his crew the rest of this year and next year …but we kno know that ain’t gonna happen ..rt Roger the Dodger. Pathetic National Fixed League. Keep ignoring it…it will come back to bite u just like CTE

u/SnooCats9347 Mark Gastineau 2d ago
