1. Jim Leonard plz

2. Wink or leohnard

3. Jim Leonard would be awesome

4. Idk why Raheem Morris isn’t on the list

5. Jimmy!!!!! Gimmy Jimmy!!!!

6. Was listening to The Athletic Football Show the other day and they gave Durante Jones a nod as one of the up and coming assistants they’d like to see get a crack at being a coordinator.

7. They did 8 interviews and people on here were saying they didnt announce interviews because they had no plan

8. A lot of Jim Leonard as Giants DC talks out there.

9. Makes sense to go along with the virtual defense

10. They interviewed Leonard?? He took the interview?? Good! Hope it’s Jim.

    But I figure we’ll end up with Wink. He’ll play the Gregg Williams role next season.

11. Dude, Jim was a general on that field. His IQ was high and it elevated everyone. I had no idea he was a DC tho but Im not surprised. Please get that man in here!!

12. O’Neil is one of the worst coaches in football at any level. Absolutely horrifying he was interviewed

13. Seeing Jim Leonhard on this list gave me goosebumps

14. Wink would be such a lazy hire. Leonard all the way baby bring him back to the Jets.

15. Stop naming who you want them to go with!

    You know it will be the one with the least fan support.

16. RIP to whichever one hitches their wagon to Aaron Glenn 🪦

17. Mike Francesa for d coordinator

18. Glad to hear that they are doing them. I was worried when I wasn’t hearing much.

19. I don’t know any of them except my safety Jim Leonard. And he was good so I’m rolling with him.

20. I’d narrow the list to Chris Harris, Wink Martindale, and Jim Leonhard.

21. Virtual?? Covid’s over! Better narrow down to four then make them real interviews.

    Then make it Leonard, who’s not just a defense passing coach but also an Asst HC. HIM!!!

22. if it’s not Jim Leonhard, I’m out

23. Daronte jones, leonhard, or wink. Those are the guys

24. I don’t understand the Wink hate. He’s by far the safest hire on this list

25. Ho hum

26. THEY INTERVIEWED #36 LETS FUCKING GO

27. As a Michigan fan, please NOT Wink. We weren’t sad to lose him after his defense fell apart against teams with solid offenses.

28. Letting leonhard go would be a mistake. Dude’s entire MO in the league was that his physical assets weren’t great but his football IQ was off the charts. Crushed it at wisco and is already an assistant HC in Denver

29. Absolutely hysterical that they kept all these interviews quiet. It’s really interesting how air tight this regime is. 

    Honestly, outside of Jim and Wink nobody knows anything about these dudes lol. I like that they mostly lean young. Jim won’t take this job when there are really good opportunities out there for him and his career. I’d prefer somebody other than Wink, but if AG wants to continue to set it and forget it, he’s probably the guy. 

30. Jim Leonard or Wink, please
