I'm one of those people who wants an offensive minded HC, but after thinking about it, Quinn makes a lot of sense for 2 reasons (IMO):
1) Besides Bowles, he has the best chance of winning over "Rex's guys" that will remain on the team. One of the media guys brought up a good point yesterday saying whoever the Jets bring in will have the challenge of winning the "hearts and minds" of a lot of guys that loved Rex, especially on defense. Well, Quinn is a local guy (NJ I think), spent time in our organization and most importantly, has the clout of having a Super Bowl ring and running a bad a@@ defense.
2) While we all want a more open and explosive offense, you can argue that the offense that has been run in Seattle the past few years is one that our team is the closest to emulate. Granted, we don't have Russel Wilson, but we're built to be a run first team and do have a mobile QB. Granted, I don't want Geno to be our starter next year, but given our draft position and the potential FAs, fact is, he might be. Maybe Quinn can bring in an OC who can run a similar offense and get more out of Geno if we have to roll with him next year.
