Jets Likely to Hire OL Coach Dave DeGuglielmo

PrintArmando Salguero, a columnist for the Miami Herald, is reporting that the Jets have all but signed former Dolphin's offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo to replace Bill Callahan. Rich Cimini is reporting that the Jets are still very interested in signing former Dolphins offensive coordinator Brian Daboll as the quarterbacks coach.
I find this move to be quite upsetting, personally. Salguero's argument is that "One failure does not make you a failure," in terms of the Jets hiring failed Miami coaches. I'm not happy though that the Jets are seemingly trying to create Miami North, a mirror image team of our southern rivals. The problem with that logic is that the Dolphins are not a good team. I could understand if they were trying to mirror say, the Packers, but it's not like the Dolphins are really doing much that's worth emulating. They're not very good. So why are we taking their coaches and likely their players?
In any case, DeGuglielmo has been a line coach his entire career, working for Boston College, Boston University, Connecticut, South Carolina, the Giants, and most recently the Dolphins.

He was actually the o-line coach for the giants when they won the SB
so i guess that’s a plus. I can kinda understand this since it could help with emulating sparano’s system, but why Daboll? why Daboll? Whyyyyyyyy?
He was?
Everything that I can find online indicates that he’s been with the Miami organization since 2005.
This year, his line gave up 52 sacks, third most in the league. For a point of reference, the Jets gave up 40 sacks, 13th most in the league. If you thought that Sanchez was running for his life last season, this move certainly won’t help out.

Oh, and the Miami o-line in the past few years has never been better than mediocre.

But with all that said, I'd give him a chance. He was pretty good before coming to the Dolphins and he wasn't working with much in Miami
& Sorry for the triple post!

Is he responsible for developing Jake Long? or is that all Sporano, or did Long not need developing.
this is an honest question.
My guess is Long didn't need developing.
He was playing at a ridiculously high level in his rookie year.
"The problem with that logic is that the Dolphins are not a good team."
That’s all that needs to be said. This team is not going in the right direction. If Rex wants to coach in Miami so bad he should negotiate out of his contract and go there. He doesn’t need to bring their garbage here. Miami’s line has been garbage for the last 10 years, just more failure spiraling these Jets out of control.
Just because the team sucks, doesn’t mean the coaching staff is bad. Bill Belchick sucked in Cleveland, mike shanahan doesn’t look to good in Washington and so on and so on.

"and so on and so on" after two examples?
The question is, Do you want the coaching staff of the 2011 Dolphin’s? It looks like it’s coming down to that.
Great. More Miami leftovers
Why do I get the feeling he isn’t going to be the last Miami castoff hire?
Love with a LEO is like a drug.. One taste and your addicted!
DeGuglielmo I like, highly regarded offensive line coach. Just because he coached the Dolphins while they were poor doesn’t mean he is a bad coach. He was decent at Boston College and good with the Giants. Daboll on the other hand…..no thanks.

unfortunately
We’re probably gonna end up with Daboll anyway. I think Mark’s mature enough though to know what some of his flaws are and how to fix him, so all isn’t lost yet.
Would you rather have Cav or Daboll?
Oh yes that's right, I'm a Jets fan.

Daboll.
Cav + Sanchez is a KNOWN fail.
Daboll + Sanchez? We dunno, but it’s better than a known outcome.

Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
Personally...
I tend to think a lot of success in the NFL (and in football in general) is about the right combinations. Sometimes someone who is a success in one place won’t work at all elsewhere.
I really don’t mind the Miami pickups as such, Maybe it’ll click with this crew. Miami’s dysfunctional front office has plenty of blame for Miami’s problems. I like the Sparano hire—I’m cautiously optimistic anyway.
I tend to think that, as silly as the FO is from time to time, they know more than I do. (Although sometimes… I gotta wonder. Haha.)
Me too but I dont even know that something like this would interest Chad
Think he is trying the TV thing.

well u do know where Daboll learned His trade at?
He and Rex;s brother were together with NE!!!..when Mangini Left He followed Mangini to Cleveland!!!…..Daboll dint do well with Cleveland nor with “fins”
I think Miamis main issues on the O-line was the constant shuffling they were doing with their personal

I think Miami's problems in general the past few seasons were more personell related than anything
They were quite good when Pennington started a whole season for them. Then Chad Henne became the starter and the offense just didn’t seem to work out at all past that point.
The great thing about becoming a mediocre team like the Dolphins
is that Rex’s master plan to make himself the center of all attention and put all the pressure on himself (yeah, apparently that is the great plan that comes out of reflecting what went wrong this season) is all but insured.
Game after game he can say: “It is all my fault! I’m going to fix it.” As we suck into oblivion.
One way of looking like a genius is surrounding yourself with underachievers. Like the girl who gets prettier by going out with less than average looking friends. The other way is by surrounding yourself with brilliant people who’s work you get credit for, but I guess Rex isn’t going that path.
Just like Louis XIV
he gets all this credit for being a great king when really all his financial ideas were from Colbert. And he was so into being an absolute monarch and enforcing the idea that he was #1 in the country by surrounding himself with idiots. that’s why Louis XIV looks like a great king because his assistants were idiots.
So maybe thats what rex is doing. His goal is to be known as one of the greatest coaches ever by pulling a Louis XIV surrounding yourself with idiots.
(Sorry I’m studying for my EHAP midterm so its on my mind)
lol.
Well, that is an interesting analogy. The problem is that he also accomplished that by removing himself from Paris and making everyone in the country come to him. Not sure Rex is doing that. Tho, there is a weird sense of debauchery going on in Jet land, lots of elevated talk, lots of detachment from what is really going on. Lots of Sun King bs.
I really like Rex. But the idea he has that HE alone was the problem, and that if he fixes himself he’ll fix the team is ridiculous. These crazy Miami hires smell of the same bull of trusting his lieutenants endlessly (letting them run the show with all their friends) but putting the spotlight on himself. Yes Rex needs to change himself, but the problems were much, much deeper than that and raiding the Dolphins braintrust isn’t the answer.

See that was rex's problem
He couldn’t bring the team to his Versailles (Cortlandt) hence the downfall of the Jets
Wait, then according to this analogy, who is Colbert?
I think you’re distinguishing between Louis XIV’s advisers and the nobles, but I’m a few years away from that exam, so I don’t quite remember.

yea i think might have gotten them confused.
Colbert was the Financial Adviser, but im pretty sure Louis also surrounded himself with dumb advisers in order to look smarter. I’m not sure though
Well, is this the part where we all kinda just go crazy?
I do wonder what exactly the FO is thinking however.
Rex
is just slitting his own throat. If all those Miami coaches fail in 2012 and the Jets don’t improve or get worse, Rex won’t be the HC of the Jets in 2014.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years." Alexander Tyler
Eh...
I’m fine with the hire…Miami usually has a pretty good run game, which the o-line coach has a great ammount of influence on. The Jets have better players on the o-line, so let’s see what this guy can do with 3 pro bowlers.
Now as for the O Coordinator coming in to mentor Mark? Hell no…
I'm gonna attempt to put together a reason for these Miami coaches coming here
Maybe these are coaches that just didn’t really seem to work with what Miami wanted to do, therefore, there wasn’t much conjunction between the players, coaches and ownership. The Jets, however, feel that these coaches would be a better fit over here based on what the team wants to do and what they bring to the table. That’s my best reasoning, what do u guys think?
The Jets are switching to what Miami was doing since their old HC is becoming our OC
If they don’t fit in the old Miami system (now our new system) they won’t fit here.
I'm just talking about with overall team philosophy
and Personnel, maybe that’s why Sparano got the can in the first place and why they weren’t that good. Again, just a theory.
here is my 2 cents
Saprano was Fins Head Coach.Has never been a OC…been a OL Coach But never a OC…I see Saprano being a safety Valve in a way if REX falters…Jets will have a “Former HC” all ready on staff….I mean How many former HC have u seen join another Team and come in as a different type Coach?..not many HC drop down to a lower level!!!!!
I also think REX is wrong He is NOT the cause of the Inner-team Problems.well maybe His failure to CONTROL a LOCKER-ROOM but there is where ur so-called TEAM Captains are suppose to BE the HC representative…and we all know that 2 Captains of the OFF. didnt get along(Sanchez and Holmes)
Now if I was a Rec; on jets and had a clause in My contract for certain amt;s of pass;s and didnt see those Goals over a QB, In-abilities I too would be mad/upset!!!
No way......
I prefer panic, mindless extrapolation, Louis XVI analogies etc etc.
Eh, I like the quote above but I see it differently.
One failure, doesn’t mean he’s a total failure. We mock Schotty cause his system was confusing and completely bs nonsense, but there is something valid in there. Something that did work for all its confusion, a new place a fresh start and who knows Schotty could be leading a great offense with the right environment. Likewise, Sparano despite being the HC of a crappy team wasn’t the playcaller of the crappy team, now he will be. So for all the Fist Pumping for Field Goal jokes means nothing until we get to game day. Just like this hire, Dave could be just like Bill, hell maybe Dave has that one thing that could make Hunter not be Hunter. I mean for ffs no one could have fixed Colombo down there in Miami he was worse than Hunter.
And the home of the .... JETS!!!
Now lets get a G-D snack!!!
"You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, f**k it, I don't care what you think."-Roy McDonald
Here we go again.
Lets all forget about the fact that this guy has been coaching his craft exclusively at one O-line Coaching position after another since 1991. One of the longer tenures in the league for an OL coach btw.
Forget that ring he’s got on his finger from the giants in ‘08. Dat don’t mean nothin.
Nevermind all the times this guys line ran the train on our defense with Miami the last few years
Lets also all forget that the performance on our line has been lacking and in need of direction from a coach EXACTLY LIKE THIS which makes him perfect for this job. This is a guy the hogs will instantly respect and love to play for.
Lets forget all that meaningless junk and focus on the fact that he had a little grey Dolphin on his cap the last few years and thus- he sucks without any further inspection.
Lets try to be objective here folks.
In all honesty I like this move better than any other we have made in a long while and I will probably like it more than any other we decide to make in the near future.
Great move by the Jets.
His lines rushing #‘s with the giants were very consistant between 4.5- 5.0 ypc.
I’m really looking forward to seeing this guy get his hands on some of our young guys like Vlad and also doing an honest assesment of our RT position.
Another positive to me is this. Bill Callahan has bounced back and fourth between OL and OC jobs his entire career. Where is Bill’s focus for his career? He doesn’t want to be OL coach the rest of his life. This guy is a lineman coach through and through. He’s a trench guy and thats probably all he ever will be. He will be totally focused on making this line the best it can be and nothing else.

Isn’t this the sign of a guy who can’t get a promotion and take a bigger coaching role on a team?
Hey, this guy has been waterboy for 10 years straight, he must be the best waterboy in the league!
#joking #kinda
If you want to look at it like that thats fine.
But I choose to look at it like this guy is settled into what he was ment to do. He doesn’t have the mentality to coach an entire offense. I would like to look at it as if he’s totally focused on his craft and position he holds because it’s his best fit.
Would Mike Westoff make a good OC just because he’s the best SP coach in the league? No. It’s what he does and all he ever will do because it’s what he’s good at.
It is really more than this though. It isn’t how great a coach he is or isn’t. It is more that it is just clear that the Offense is going to be a carbon copy of what was attempted in Miami. All the parts are being assembled. There will be no thinking out of the box. There will be no creativity. We are buying the whole thing, instead of an OC.
And this is also a sign that Rex is just going to turn the whole offense over to another OC, making it completely autonomous, just the thing he said he wasn’t going to do. Bringing in an OC and all the coaches that are good-ol-boys with him will give Sparono a huge coaching presence.
I don't want Rex to have anything to do with this offense.
I don’t trust him. Let him play with his defense all he wants it’s what he’s good at.
Like I said. Coaches should know their place and unfortunately he’s not good enough to be sticking his nose in offensive meetings.
Thats all fine with me to be honest.
Were you saying that when Rex was saying “we need to ground and pound” and we end up throwing 59 passes?
Were you saying that when Rex was completely oblivious that the Sanchize and the star FA and Captain WR wanted to absolutely kill each other.
Yeah, let’s have more detached Rex Ryan #not
He can say it all he wants.
He didn’t get it done.
I’m realistic. I have serious reservations if Rex can balance his team or if the front office has to do it for him with coaching changes.
So far, I don’t like what I see in that respect.
I like his mentality but he has alot to learn about coaching an offense before I start seeing him as a blanced coach who can direct both sides of the ball.
And when you really think about it.
The hiring of Tony Sparano could be looked at as an aknowledgement of that fact.
This team didn’t exactly hire a follower in Tony. He was an opinionated HC who is going to have total control of this offense.
It’s a total indictment on Rex and I agree with it.
I didn't say anything about Shottenheimer.
I’m talking about the Saprano hire.
If the FO thought Rex could handle both offensive and defensive responsibilities the team wouldn’t have hired such a prominent personality. Tony is here to execute Rex’s offensive direction and take over the offense. Thats all I’m saying.
I have played for both types of guys honestly.
Guys who have always been OLCoaches stick with the hogs all the way. Coaches who bounce from Line to OC to QB coach never sit still. They are always yacking with the head coach saying “We should do this, you gotta do that”.
It’s great to have a coach who knows his place.
Obviously I don’t know either coach but I can make a decent assumption from exp.
So that must mean .....
Westhoff who has always been a Special teams coach must be a loser?
no. Special Teams are comprehensive. Offensive line play is part of Offensive scheming in general.

Ok, let me get this straight
We have three division opponents. I believe they were all heated rivalries. So that’s the first violation, bringing in the enemy The second, so instead of pilfering the Pats staff, we take coaches from the dolphins who have finished behind up for the last three years. Could be worse, we could had brought in ex-bills coaches.
We are starting to look like the Yankees
If they keep you from winning a championship just make them you. (This is in reference to the Yankees signing Carl Pavono of the Marlins who had just beat them in the World Series)
(and then later on AJ Burnett although it took a few years)
(and scary thought look at how both of those turned out)
AJ did have one good year helping them win the world series before he started to degress
I’d be very happy if Sporano could do that for the Jets
That is true, but I really would prefer sustained success
Anybody can win one, y’know? I’d like for us to be the team of the 2010s.
Lets get the first one before we start thinking dynasty
Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
I just seriously don't see the attraction of bringing in Miami coaches at all
It’s literally like Rex and co. were like “hey they ran the ball mainly and they’ve beaten us a bunch lately, so obviously they’re PERFECT for us!” So like maybe we’ll start beating… uh… I dunno, who else has Miami been beating lately? Anyone at all? I don’t think so… well… crap
For what it is worth, a Football Outsiders of OLs the last 3 years
Interestingly enough, it was only 2009 when Miami had a better statistical OL. Despite the idea that the Jets OL has actually declined, it was the Miami OL that really has dropped off the statistical map.

No offense but I think these are stats worth looking a little deeper at.
The Jets have been lucky with Line health in the last 3 years. The Fins are constantly fighting injuries to their best players and have been for the last few years.
Just throwing them out there. Making no judgements.
But if you think that the Pro-bowler Brick had a good year this year, or that our RT was even an average player at that position, we have a serious difference of opinion.
Of course.
But thoes statements also read as negatively on coaching as it does players.
With exception of an early injury to Nick we were again healthy as can be yet we still saw a down year at almost every position.
We could go back and fourth with that tho couldn’t we. I guess we’ll just have to see if things get better.
Your acting like I have a problem with what your saying. I don't at all.
It’s all good conversation to me. You make great points. I’m just trying to make counter points.
That's interesting
It suggests the OL didn’t decline as much as everybody is saying. If Hunter was that much worse than Woody, and D’Brickshaw had an off-year, and Baxter was a huge drop-off from Mangold for those three games (and I’m not saying any of those things aren’t true), then how come the line was still top-10 in rushing, and average in pass protection, and generally better than it was two years ago?

And burned the vaunted Jet Defense which couldn’t stop a nose bleed, basically ending their season before anyone realized it.
It was a VERY gutty draft choice. Easy to choose in the late rounds, not where he was taken.
Are you serious, he had one good drive the whole game it just so happened to come at the end of the game. If the jets offense was 10% better that game and this season you would have no point. If you really blame the defense for that game being on the field all game your a fool.

What kind of insider stuff can you tell us about this guy?
Anything from players? Something other than just the general stuff? I get the feeling this guy could have been a player favorite. Was he liked by the players or was he hit or miss like Tony?
Did the fans feel he needed to go?
Many fans thought he had to go because our OL never really did much outside of Long and Pouncey.
I haven’t heard the players talk about him so I can’t speak about how he was viewed in the locker room. Miami’s coaches have never really been made available to the media so there was little info about him.

Lousy Fans
When I first started visiting this site a few years back it was because I found it to be more of a rational discussion about the Jets than Jetsinsider which had become full of miserable winers that are never happy or content with anything that the Jets do.
Now this site has become pretty much a carbon copy of Jetsinsider. It’s embarrassing to read every post that hounds ever player, coach and decision made by the team. No one ever celebrates anything this team does or tries to see the good in any decision both on and off field.
Maybe its the nature of these fan sites and the over-mediation of sports in general but I love the Jets and have been a fan since 67 and this continued crapping on the Jets is tiring and just bullshit.
It’s one thing to be critical of the team or want desperately to cheer on the team to win a championship but the petty abuse that the Jets fans continually dump on them makes me wonder if this is actually a Patriots fan site masquerading as a Jets site.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but
We went 8-8, our cross town rivals and division rivals are fighting for their 4th Super Bowl win, our Coach looks like a buffoon, our star franchise QB who was going to lead us to the promised land might not be what we think he is, and none of our good players are getting any younger. People have a right to be a little upset in Jetsland.

Stupid move
why are we hiring the staff of a team with an offense every bit as bad as ours. These offensive hires will be what causes Rex to lose his job when we dont make the playoffs again next year.
Instead of trying to emulate good offenses like Green Bay and New Orleans we are copying the Dolphins. This tells me that our organization is full of clowns from ownership on down to Rex.
