3. Rich Kotite
Kotite just wasn’t a good coach. His tenure in charge of the Philadelphia Eagles proved that having good players will result in moderate success. But surely Philly will wonder where they could have gone if they had an elite coach. 36 wins in four seasons prompted the Jets to sign him up.
Two years later, they fired him after a shambolic reign. His first season ended 3-13, a weaker showing than the previous year. The Jets should have dropped him then but decided to let him spend big. Keyshawn Johnson, Neil O’Donnell, and Jeff Graham arrived to help the Jets finish 1-15 in 1996. An absolute shambles, Kotite definitely isn’t welcome in Philly.
