If the Jets fire Maurice, it would be a catastrophe if they brought in a coach that coddled Laine and didn't expect players to at least come to camp in top shape and work at their game.
I think a lot of Jets' fans don't realize how most top coaches would deal with a player like Laine, who publicly threw Little under the bus and hasn't come to camp in top condition once (I know that because I've watched all of the on-ice fitness tests, and Laine struggled badly every year).
This is the part Laine owns. He said he wants to be the best in the world well if so then he needs to work harder in the off season on his fitness. If your not competing for the fittest guy in camp then you are not trying to be the best in the world.
I know it sounds like I am Tothing this by being on both sides of the debate but that’s because both sides have not brought their best version to the challenge.
