Agree re the comparison with Kotite, but the local connection could be more important in the decision process than you are allowing.
The Jets have lost a lot of credibility in NYC (where I happen to live). It doesn't help that they play their games in a difficult to access and relatively unattractive part of New Jersey. So, trying to re-affirm the team's connection to the Five Boroughs is an angle that could come into play in the hiring decision, as specious as we both probably agree it might be.
I'm not understanding how where the man was born has anything to do with the quality of the hire.
Unless you are suggesting they are limiting their search to NYC natives, and would rather hire a bad coach from NYC than a good one from somewhere else, which is silly, and has no basis.
Where do you live in NY? My daughter is going to school at Pace U in Manhattan.
