Herm Edwards, Mangini, Ryan - We had decent, fun to watch teams with all three of them. Yes, we fell short - Herm had a tendency to make mistakes late game, Mangini should have continued coaching if not for Brett Farve's injury and Ryan just could never get the offense going enough. Yet, those were GOOD years for the jets.
I have been a manager several times in my life, most notably as a officer in the Navy. In none of those positions did I have to directly manage more than ten people. It is a tough job to do well, and besides being a manager you always have more things that the job calls for. An NFL head coach has to over see a team of 56 people. Has a crew of other coaches. I think this is underestimated in the hiring process. I think the Jets need someone who can lead. He needs to know enough about the different parts team to be able to hire the right people. If those two things happen other aspects of being a successful team should start to fall into place.
