  • Entering the 1995 NFL season, the New York Jets were decimated at the wide receiver position, and head coach Rich Kotite said as much. With that, he said that the team needed a veteran wide receiver. And when Webster Slaughter, a veteran wide receiver who checked every box possible for what Kotite and the Jets were looking for, expressed interest in playing for the team, Kotite inexplicably declined the offer. Let's just say the 1995 Jets passing attack was about as bad as you'd expect.

      I recall. I am an Eagles fan and I didn't want the Jets to hire Kotite. Kotite began well a s an Eagle, but that was because he had a good amount of talent left from Buddy Ryan's team. But in 1993 and 1994, all four tires fell off The Eagles. Hess hired him because he was Jewish and felt compelled to hire him solely on that.

    Webster Slaughter is the reason why The Fumble happened against the Broncos in the 88 AFC Championship game. He was supposed to run to the endzone corner and block . It would have gotten the corner who was playing man coverage to run with him making the draw play to Byner an easy touchdown to tie the game. Instead Slaughter cut his route short and "watched" the play. It gave the corner a chance to break on the ball and strip Byner causing Denver to recover the ball. Webster Slaughter was notorious for taking plays off.

    The atrocious depth of the Jets WR core is what allowed Wayne Chrebet to make the team and have a solid career. He became their best receiver in '95 primarily because they're was no one else good enough to turn to.
    Going into the season the Jets had high hopes for Yarborough, who was a 2nd round pick in '94, but he was a bust.
    Also, the Jets selected Kyle Brady as their first round pick in '95. Kotite was very high on him, but he was just another solid player.

      Then again, Warren Sapp should send gifts and birthday cards to Rich Kotite every year on his birthday thanking him for NOT taking him in the 1995 draft. Who knows if he would have developed into the player he became with the Bucs.

    I love your channel and have a fun story, on something that ruined the Jets.
    In 1979 my Bills drafted a WR, Jerry Butler out of Clemson.
    On Sept 23, 1979, a track meet was held, and Jerry Butler got the gold medal.
    The Jets came into town, and took a 17-6, and then the excitement began. Jerry Butler caught 3 passes, and turned all three in touchdowns ... a 75 yarder, a 74 yearder and a 9 yarder. I was there, nice and close to the field and he figuratively ran like a greyhound chased by plow horses.
    Anyway, the Jets traded away a lot of draft capital to pick second overall in the 1980 draft and took Johnny "Lam" Jones, who had a poor career. The Bill theory was they lusted for a receiver like Jerry Butler, and got burned.
    That could be a story.

    I see this title and laugh because Rich Kotite was an atrocious coach, and the face that the Jets hired himand gave him all that power in the beginning was up there in bad moves by the Jets. I'm a long time Eagles fan and remember when he was head coach, and the team was 7-2 and Kotite wanted a new contract at that time, and then he proceded to lose ever other game that season. This was a man where he kicked a field goal on 3rd down when there was still time left on the clock to run a play, and his answer was "we just wanted to put points on the board"... sigh. Kotite to this day is the punch line for when coaches do really dumb decisions in my family, as he was just a very bad bad coach. So when I listen to this video I can say why he did these things, he's Rich Kotite and that explains it if you. The fact he had any success in Philly before his inevitible collapse there speaks to how much talent those teams had then, and not Kotite's ability but despite it. You could do a number of videos on just the legendary stupidity of this man. Among my bros he's still the punchline to jokes when talking about stupid decisions coaches make. I csn remember well when he performed epicly bad in New York we'd laugh because what did you think would happen you have Kotite as your coach and GM so unless you have tons of talent around him you have less than no shot. In closing I feel your pain over Rich Kotite.

      To his credit, he won a playoff game in Philly, while Buddy did not. That does not speak well of Buddy, especially since he started there when Dallas was garbage.
      Good ol' Richie Kotite. Tough Brooklyn boy, and it's a good thing, because a lesser man couldn't have survived being so stupid, for so long.

      If you thought Buddy Ryan's tenure in Philly was mediocre, try Buddy Ryan's tenure as Arizona's coach. The problem with Buddy Ryan is that he was a much better defensive coordinator than he ever was a head coach. He had no clue as to develop Randall Cunningham's presence as a QB in the pocket.

    I have no idea what Rich Kotite was thinking when assembling that 1995 wide receiver corp; everyone knew that looked bad on paper, and lived up to the billing in presentation (at least Wayne Chrebet was a find, and I give Kotite credit for that move; Chrebet is Kotite's one positive note in his two seasons).
    Yeah, Slaughter was having contract issues with the Browns for a few seasons, and also had a problem with the offense (he made it clear that he wanted more touches).
    Odd that the Jets went from a WR unit in 1991 that featured Al Toon, Rob Moore, Terance Mathis, & Chris Burkett to absolutely not much at all by 1995 except Chrebet.
    The 1996 wideout unit for the Jets was much improved, but awfully undisciplined (much like the rest of the team that season).
