I need a full report on your old offensive coordinator, now the jets coordinator, asap, positives and negatives
He's the old Denver receivers coach. He's awesome. Sad to see him go. He was one of the highlights of the team. Remember last few seasons when McNair was a stud (not so much this season with injuries) That was due to Heimerdinger and his wide open offense. I also got the sense that Fisher held him back at times because Fisher can be very conservative. If he has his way with game plan and coaching he will be a great asset.

You know just going in, he already has a relationship with McCarins and he'll get comfortable with Moss very soon I'd think. He's got a great QB and a fantastic backfield to work with, along with some excellent WR's. There's no reason why they can't excel next season.
Heimerdinger is a hard-nosed, in-your-face type of coach who is detailed oriented and extremely demanding. He coached Jets wide receiver Justin McCareins for three seasons in Tennessee and the pair had a love-hate relationship. Heimerdinger rode McCareins hard and turned him into a better player. McCareins led the Jets in receptions this season with 56
"Mike's not a real outgoing guy, at first. You kind of have to gain the respect of Mike Heimerdinger," O'Donnell said. "He's a demanding coach, as Justin McCareins will tell you."
After McCareins -- who occasionally clashed with his coordinator -- was traded last year from the Titans to the Jets, his former teammates taped a picture of Heimerdinger in the receiver's old locker.
From that point on, the players would move the photo to the locker of whoever was currently residing in Heimerdinger's doghouse

From what I heard he and McCarins didn't get along very well when they were both in TN.
I've never heard that.
reading is fundamental

Ok. I've heard that. But I took your comment to mean that McCareins HATED Heimerdinger. He's just a tough coach who pushes you to succeed. I think McCareins might not like that but respects it.
