Be interesting to know who picks the assistants. I'd think the HC would have an important if not final say, and yet when PoMo came on board he just went with the assistants who were already there. Does he go with an asst who will inform, broaden and sometimes even challenge his views, or with someone who has already bought into the philosophy/systems that the Jets preach, whatever they are?
I feel like the Jets coaching staff could use a tactical shakeup -- but history suggests that orgs don't typically choose to shake themselves up. Could be a real opportunity for positive change.
Hasn’t Flaherty been here since the start?interesting that the only assistant coach that is still here from the beginning is Huddy. All other assistants have been cycled.
Vincent became Woodcroft
Pearn became Kompton
We are going to be replacing Woodcroft this year.
Can anyone actually tell me why Huddy is still here?

Either one of the assistants from the Moose will get a promotion (Eric Dubois or Marty Johnson), or they won't hire anyone at all. Not a lot of money to spend, these days.
Or try look into offering K Bieksa??I just read on the main board that Mike Kitchen is apparently done with FLA after an incident involving a player. The guy is actually a good coach and been around for a long time with zero issues reported otherwise. Wonder if the Jets take him on, provided they do due diligence and satisfied with what they learn.
I'd take a flyer on Kitchen for sure.

Love to see the team add a new assistant coach, maybe a new PP guy......who has some history as a creative offensive former player, who can relate to these high skill guys and can get more out of them on our PP.
That would be the most TSNE thing ever! When the time comes I'd like to see them go outside the family.Thorbs
Seriously, tho. I wonder if tnse uses this opportunity to bring in an heir for pomo. I can see there be some sort of transition where chevy becomes president of hockey operations and pomo to gm or vice versa. They seem to love these guys.
