Unless Jags leaked it, but I thought someone on here said that didn't happen.<BR/><BR/>The interview was simply a resume builder--he wasn't getting the job--but I don't think Jags handled it well at all. <BR/><BR/>Don't think either side came out of that clean. <BR/><BR/>With the Favre/Jags link, maybe the DeFilippo's are plotting their revenge on the Jets. You know, like convincing Favre to play another year. <BR/><BR/>To the original point, I'm not a fan of the "coach in waiting" concept, either. It probably only works in unique circumstances, for well established coaches who acknowledge their tenure is ending. Didn't realize Friedgen fit into that category.CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783098791522341665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-18880265248688993902009-02-07T13:05:00.000-05:002009-02-07T13:05:00.000-05:00John DeFilippo and GM Mike Tannenbaum may disagre...John DeFilippo and GM Mike Tannenbaum may disagree with the direction of the Jets program.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852682232912278307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-30359222692491583792009-02-07T10:50:00.000-05:002009-02-07T10:50:00.000-05:00CT--Do you think he'd lie to the Jets and schedule...CT--<BR/><BR/>Do you think he'd lie to the Jets and schedule the interview behind their back, after promising to stay for several years to the Jets' brass?<BR/><BR/>That would be ironic...BCMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259278849389650910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-59799146085560236502009-02-06T18:47:00.000-05:002009-02-06T18:47:00.000-05:00I hope GD's son isn't tempted to interview for a j...I hope GD's son isn't tempted to interview for a job at BC. <BR/><BR/>I love irony.CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783098791522341665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-8690842441310102222009-02-06T15:53:00.000-05:002009-02-06T15:53:00.000-05:00I hate the coach in waiting.

"Get rid of Friedgen, let's get Franklin going!!" etc. Its not like the human race is going to stop knowing how to coach football and you can't find somebody just as good as your "coach in waiting" next time you need a coach.<BR/><BR/>It can help assure recruits that they'll know their staff, but it's not a situation I like for any program I have an interest in.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852682232912278307noreply@blogger.com
