Rex Ryan will try to hire many of his Jets assts--Thurman, Dunbar, Weeks, McDonald, Lee, maybe Sparano Jr and, possibly, Lynn, per sources.

Defensive Coordinator Dennis Thurman
Defensive Line coach Karl Dunbar
Asst. DL Coach and LB Jeff Weeks
Defensive Backs Coach Tim McDonald
Quarterbacks QB David Lee
Offensive Assistant Tony Sparano Jr.
RB Coach and Assistant Head Coach Anthony Lynn

Not sure about these assistant hires if they come to fruition.

[Mr. Pink]

Not surprising.

It's who he's comfortable working with.

[Don't Panic]

Not surprising.

It's who he's comfortable working with.

I don't want who he's comfortable with on offense... I want who Roman's comfortable with.

[Skooby]

I don't want who he's comfortable with on offense... I want who Roman's comfortable with.

True enough.

[Mr. Miyagi]

David Lee? Didn't he have a tour with us before under Gailey?

[BleedinGreenNC]

Take them all!

[DraftBoy]

David Lee? Didn't he have a tour with us before under Gailey?

Yes he was fired in 2012.

[YardRat]

Not liking this at all.

Ughh. Let Roman make the decisions on O.

[BleedinGreenNC]

Ughh. Let Roman make the decisions on O.

Oh he will, Rex doesnt even know what offense is.

[justasportsfan]

Anyone see Geno? What is David Lee going to do with Ej?

Pray.

[paladin warrior]

With all that . W.T.F .

[imbondz]

I seriously don't understand how anyone is excited about this other than Jets fans laughing

[HAMMER]

Sheeple.

[Mr. Pink]

I don't want who he's comfortable with on offense... I want who Roman's comfortable with.

This is what all coaches do, they hire the guys they've worked with and trust.

They tend to bring players they know too...

So it won't surprise me if David Harris, Jermaine Cunningham, Kenrick Ellis and Dawan Landry are on the roster next season.

[Night Train]

I'm sure Roman will have a say on some of those O selections. He may have some folks he wishes to bring in.

Twitter is speculation.

[swiper]

Hey great news. Can we get Geno Smith and Michael Vick too?

[YardRat]

lol...The one coaching staff in our division that was actually worse than our cluster****, and we're going to load up on them. What a hoot.

[Buddo]

As Schwartz is going, it was always likely that Ryan would bring in his own defensive coaches. I see no real problem with that tbh.
Lee hasn't worked with EJ before, and you never know, he might actually be able to do some good with his mechanics/accuracy. EJ isn't the same guy as Geno, and is probably way more likely to actually listen, and try and do things that Lee wants him to do, and continue to work on them, on his own. Geno probably doesn't know the meaning of working on his own.

As to offensive assistants, then son of Sparano is probably a guy who breaks down tape, or something, so that's no big deal. RBs coach I'm undecided about. The Jest have got some decent production out of some of their RBs over the years, and they weren't necessarily big name guys either. If Roman is ok with it, then it shouldn't be a problem. Fred doesn't need any coaching anyway, he just needs to learn whatever system they will install.
