Ron as DC

I believe any DC candidate should be a strong with HC experience.   No reason to settle for less. One that is capable of coaching any scheme.  

Ron does fit those requirements,  although so do others. 

Ron wouldn't be a bad choice, although the search, if there is to be one,  needs to be fair and thorough,  and let the best candidate win the position.  

It's going to come down to whoever they can convince to take it. It's the same situation they faced with trying to find a headcoach.

I'm not buying Peyton and Harbaugh wanted the job here.

Word has it that the Jets will give him the first crack of the HC job for them. Just leave that here...

Good for Ron. He won't change the Jets but Ron will get a nice retirement package out of it. Sucks he has to live in New York though.

Ron’s strength is a culture builder, perfect for stopping a disaster of an org and get them close to normal. Then someone else will have to take over to take them from normalized to good. Ron is not a bad choice for the Jets, but I’m not sure they have the patience to start doing things the right way.

I think we’ll have a decent chance to get Saleh as he’s friends with Canales, good change of scenery for him, and turning around the disaster of a defense that is the Panthers would set him up for a future second chance at a HC job. And he would get paid really well.

Here’s a breakdown of Saleh’s defensive approach: https://jetsxfactor.com/2023/08/15/ny-jets-pros-cons-saleh-defense/

Side note, a friend who is a 49ers fan was always underwhelmed by Saleh and felt he was mostly a rah rah guy, and not much of a tactician.

That picture gets me every time. Like George Costanza with the hairpiece.

I agree with you though.

Maybe Harbaugh. I think the drive to get back into the NFL was probably fairly strong. Also the challenge presented here would satisfy that competitive edge on him.

I would be in agreement about Peyton.

I would be a little surprised if we have a well-known DC. It will take someone looking for a particular challenge, or someone looking for their big break.

I think he used Tepper to get the Chargers gig.

Very likely. I mean he is back on the West Coast. He went to a team that had some pieces in place but had underachieved. On the other hand, it's all just speculation since he was never really considered here, or offered the job, as far as we know.

He was out as soon as he heard about the Monday morning meetings.

100%.  You got a trainwreck? Well, you hire a Fox, Ron, etc type.  You want over the hump? You replace those types.  Often you can't just jump to the over the hump types because they often aren't good with the pooshow.   Wilks is an example of that mold as well.  

there are some unicorns.  I think Dan Campbell might be an example but rare.

It would be no established HC's first choice, unless that coach just wants to truly rebuild a franchise.

Nice guy. Not as nice coach. Also, I don’t believe Canales has any real connection with him and if we are moving on from Evero, a guy like Saleh makes far more sense.
