Jets History: Our Coaches Win Loss Records

by oneg82 on Feb 9, 2012 5:12 PM EST

Did anyone sit down and think it may not be our players that are causing us not to win another SB. I was just thinking about how many wins some of our past coaches have. So I am going to let you know our coaches Win/Loss records since the franchise inception.

Rex Ryan: 28-20 (2009-Present);

Eric Mangini: 23-25 (2006- 2008)
Herm Edwards: 39-41 (2001-2005)
Al Groh: 9-7 (2000)
Bill Parcells: 29-19 (1997-1999)
Rich Kotite: 4-28 (1995-1996)
Pete Carroll: 6-10 (1994)
Bruce Coslet: 26-38 (1990-1993)
Joe Walton: 53-57 (1983-1989)
Walt Michaels: 33-47 (1977-1982)
Lou Holtz: 3-10 (1976)
Mike Holovak: 0-1 (1976)
Ken Shipp: 1-4 (1975)
Charley Winner: 9-14 (1974-1975)
Weeb Ewbank:71-77 (1963-1973)
Bulldog Turner: 5-9 (1962)
Sammy Baugh: 14-14 (1960-1961)

NOTE: I left out ties.

This opened my eyes. We only had 4 winning head coaches in our history (Baugh, Ryan, Parcells, and Groh). Possibly 3 if we start to tank over the next year or two. Not even Ewbank has a winning record with us even though he has the most rings (1). Ewbank is the only one to bring us a SB.

One good note though, we only had 3 losing seasons since 1997. We have been to 3 AFCCG's since 1997. Since 1997, we had 3 coaches that have a winning record. Rex Ryan, our current coach is 6th all time on the list for wins. This year alone he is striking distance to reach third place in wins for the franchise. Its just his 4th year.

I don't want to talk about the coach with the worst record. Utter embarrassment. I hate mentioning his name. Please look at the list and take a moment of silence to pray that no one ever mention his name.

Now here's an poll that can be tricky!!!

Eric Mangini doesn't PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.

MARK SANCHEZ HAD BETTER STATS THAN TEBOW.

So either Sanchez is better than " second coming " or you have to admit that Tebow is no good.

I think we have some good things coming with rex

we just need to get our offense on track, and get a little younger on defense, we can do it.

I feel like the team was held back by Hess

It may sound callous, but I believe it to be true. The franchise has been loads better since Johnson became the owner.

Definitely!!!!

I hate to speak ill of the dead, but the truth is that Leon Hess was a doofus. With professional teams it all starts with the owner. It goes from the top down. Woody seems to be only marginally better. Until the Jets hire a football man as President to oversee the football operation, it will always be a struggle for this franchise.

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.

Hess started to get it at the end

He had been more or less quoted, by I forget who, as saying “Why do I have to do anything more for this team, the stadium is already sold out.” In the end, he hired Parcells to try to turn the organization around but died before he could see it through.

Yes, BUT

What did Hess really do? That’s his legacy that the stadium is sold out? What a dumbass!!! Did he build us a home? Did he hire someone who knew what he was doing to run the team and build a winner? No!!!! Then when he was getting older and supposedly saw the error of his ways, he hired a mercenary SOB who only cares about himself. Most people knew that Parcells wouldn’t stay long term and get the job done right. He bolted and left the team with Groh and Bradway. Eff Parcells and eff Leon Hess.

I wouldn't say doofus as much as just ignorant

Hess preferred to let his football guys do the football work, and that’s just not a good idea. An owner should be an active participant in the day-to-day operations of the team.

I’m 80 years old, I want results now!

-Hess, at the Kotite hiring press conference. Oof.

Incorrect

You missed the point. He didn’t have a football man making the decisions. HE did. He hired the GM and gave approval for the HC hirings or made them himself, rather than having a football man/mind that he trusted and respected making those decisions and doing the hiring.

Maybe “doofus” is too strong for you and for others, but not for me. I don’t know what else to call someone that would hire RK without even interviewing other candidates, especially when there were very good candidates available at the time and RK was already known to be a boob. What else do you call a man who didn’t run his franchise the way every other owner did (by hiring a football man as President and allowing him to make the decisions), and instead kept making the hirings himself, and hired one incompetent boob after another as both GM and HC? He never learned from his mistakes. He was arrogant and stupid, and I despise him.

but in all fairness.....

RK previously coaching in Philly had to give him a certain amount of…….what’s that football word I’m looking for….oh yeah…."cache’ "….short for cashiered. Christ you have to be a Jets fan to love the pure irony of a doofus hiring a doofus……but only topped by signing a doofus…….what was that Steelers QB that we signed after he lost the Super Bowl to Dallas with some great pics……..gawd….he brought those throws with him to town before he got hurt. 1 – 15 My favourite year as a Jet…….lol..well till this year’s edition.

Totally Depressing

I’ve seen that list before and it is dreadful and a disgrace. As far as I know, the team has never had a football man in charge of the operation,. Leon had Jim Kensil who was a developer and business man. Owners as a rule don’t know squat about the game or how to build or operate a team. They need someone with knowledge of the game to handle things for them. In Woody’s case, I don’t know if there is a team president, but he basically has Tanny as his advisor, and Tanny is no football man.

Leon was responsible for Holtz, Michaels, Walton, Coslet, Carroll, He who shall not be mentioned and Parcells. So his legacy was a drunk, a bunch of morons and an asswipe who screwed the franchise over. Woody’s record isn’t much better. I think he’s responsible for Groh, then Herm “I Play to Win” Edwards, Eric “Mangenious” Mangini, and Rex. At least Rex is supremely gifted in one area and there’s hope. Rex needs help, however. He needs a football man overseeing the job that Tanny is doing (or not doing). I’m convinced that Tanny needs a kick in the butt from someone who knows what they’re doing or to be fired, but don’t think Woody has sense enough to do either.

So true..

about having a football man as President. I think if Groh was giving a chance we could been a better team but he had only 1 year. I honestly that Rex is going to be the best coach ever for us if Tanny and Woody doesn’t screw it up.
