Too cheap to fly in candidates pretty much tells you Arniel has the job.

normally they have more then just 1 interview, this could very well be the 1st... if it goes well then he could be flown into winnipeg, there is also the fact that he is interviewing with other potential teams as well as us interviewing other potential canidates and zoom ended up being the best option available, this has nothing to do with being "cheap" at all...

This is just the 15 min pre-screen with Pinnacle to see if he's worthy of meeting with the big dogs face to face.

If you are aggressively pursuing him you do just that.

so why interview him at all if were just handing the job to arneil?

Due diligence has to done or you are negligent in your duties.

 

[gojetsgo]

or maybe, just maybe they actually are doing a coaching search and aren't just handing the job to arneil

If there is no intention of even considering anyone outside of Arniel, a Zoom call with someone else isn't really "due diligence", is it?

Of course they are doing a search.

 

[gojetsgo]

Of course they are doing a search.

but you said arneil is getting the job?

Doing nothing would be worse. Hey Berude may not even be interested but at least he is listening.

 

[DRW204]

It may eventually come that he will be the next head coach, but why didn't they just announce it when Bowmess retired, if that was going to always be the end goal? it's not as complicated or nefarious as people suggest it is. Don't promise people jobs. He should have to re-interview for it. Do it right. Don't be left holding the bag like the last time when you were Trotz or bust.

They wanted the focus of the day to be on Bowness retiring

How can you fly here with no airport?

 

[Orrrules]

but you said arneil is getting the job?

Do you disagree.

what did I miss

 

[gojetsgo]

Do you disagree.

I think he's an option but don't think he is guaranteed the job... I don't think not flying a guy in is because they are cheap and means they aren't even considering anyone else as it isn't even an expensive thing to do

I think he is guaranteed the job.

 

[abax44]

Didn't sound like Arniel thought it was guaranteed when they spoke to him. Do I think he gets the job - likely. Do I think it's 100% in the bag - no.

 

[gojetsgo]

I think he is guaranteed the job.

then why not just have hired him already? interviewing others with no intention of hiring them does nothing at all

It's tricking us fans into believing they tried to get someone "better".

It's easy to make that claim because if you're wrong you just say, "oh, good job Jets!" and that's that. If you're right though, you get to be all "see, I told you guys! SEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

The organization is of course going to follow a process. It's their job to find the right guy for the job. They will conduct a search. But Arniel has the job unless someone comes along and somehow "knocks it outta the park" so to speak. What that would entail is anybody's guess, and probably isn't going to happen anyway.

The coach in his interview would have to say "This is a playoff team and once you get in you have a chance. Its a process" That might knock it out of the park for Chevy.

 

[MarkWheeler]

I mean, realistically it’s gotta be tempting to go coach somewhere you basically have your job long as you want, until you just decide you’ve had enough.

 

[WaveRaven]

I'm disappointed that nobody has pointed out Chevy is at the cottage so of course its a zoom interview.

 

[bustamente]

Do I think Berube will be the Jets next coach, doubtful. Do I think Arniel will be the next Jets coach, probably. Still think that's a mistake though, then again I think it's time to move on from Chevy

Another thought I had, but how often does promoting the assistant work? They are two different roles and often involve different types of relationships with the players. I guess it worked for Bones in Dallas, but it didn't work for the Islanders or the Capitals.

I don't have an issue giving Arniel a chance but are we setting him up for success moving him from assistant to head coach.

Arniel is the safe play, he knows the organization and players maybe that's good maybe that's bad.
