Before ranting, let me say that the quality of your comments here today is terrific. I’ve seen a lot of garbage on this site and a lot of nonsensical and childish posts. But, you guys are true fans who have exhibited smart, sensible opinions in a time of great change.
Although it’s a black day, I’m proud to be a Jets’ fan. That said, I’d like to comment on the firing of Mangini. The downside is obvious.
1) We’re certainly going to have to lose the players’ training that comes from the consistency of a team’s leadership over time. 2) We’re letting go of a promising young coach who may well be successful in the future. 3) We may not compete next year because of changes that a new coach will feel are essential.
4) We might pick another Rich Kotite. 5) We might not get the fan favorite, Bill Cowher, and we may have to pick a guy who is young and untested. That might put us three more years behind if he’s the wrong guy.
The upside is also obvious. 1) We might get Cowher or a great, young ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
