He wouldn't be my top choice. Do we ever get our top choice?
Among second tier types, he's right up there for me. Defense matters. We've played pretend defense for so long. You'll actually stop some of those late drives with an aggressive mentality. This guy won a playoff game at New England a few weeks after the Jets looked like a Division III school in the same building.
And yes, entertainment also matters. I'm convinced we won't win anything significant in this stadium so I might as well be amused, and uncertain what our coach will say. Marvelous.
Not difficult to guess that we'd also receive more primetime games with Rex Ryan as coach.
Other than Harbaugh my top pick would be someone very young. I may be into my 50s but I'm not biased in favor of my contemporaries. Hardly. Highest upside is with a brilliant 30-something who nobody has taken a chance on yet.
