List of New York Jets head coaches
This list is based off of List of Chicago Bears head coaches and List of New York Giants head coaches, which are both featured lists. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 03:24, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Support All my concerns have been addressed, great list!  « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @  '' 01:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Just like the similar featured lists, I don't see why not. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  ( talk  / contribs ) 01:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I think there is scope for more information to be given as prose, not necessarily just as a lead section. For example, Bill Parcells' tenure overlaps with other coaches. Why is this? More background could be included to give the reader a greater understanding of the topic. An example of what I mean by this is given by List of Manchester United F.C. managers.

 * This was brought up in a previous FLC. Milk's Favorite Cookie created a separate article "History of xx coaches". I can do the same if you wish. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 17:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support, looks really good. GreenJoe 23:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support I can't see anything wrong. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Me either, although all the other head coach FLs also use a Colour along with the asterisk to highlight the Hall of Fame people. Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 07:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, WP:COLOR doesn't state that you need to show something in both color and an asterisk as an indicator. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 16:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * True, but other FLs within the same scope have set a consensus-by-silence precedence for using colour. If you know what I mean. Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 05:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Color-sighted people notice colors quicker than asterisks, so adding colors would benefit them a lot.-- Crzycheetah 08:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I have added the colors, but what scientific evidence do you have to back up said claim? Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 16:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Link, granted it's not a WP:RS, but you're not going to cite it anyway. ;) -- Crzycheetah 19:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support now the color's been added. Can't see a thing wrong with anything else. Nice work. Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 01:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Support, but ...
 * "Twice in Jets history has there been an "interim" head coach." Word order a little forced.
 * Any suggestions? I was thinking "There has been an "interim" head coach twice in Jets history". That seemed a little off to me, though. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "The team began as the New York Titans in the American Football League in 1960, but was renamed the New York Jets three years later." Why "but"? "And" is needed here.
 * Fixed. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * One "also" needs weeding out.
 * Removed first one. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * W–L but spaced en dash equivalent ...
 * So it should be W – L? Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Suggestion: Why not move the pic up to the "Key" section so the horrid squashy text in the "Awards" column can be given space to breath?
 * Done. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "2006–Present": why cap P? And why not "since 2006" (so much nicer)?
 * Well, I'm trying to keep the date range (XXXX–XXXX) format consistent. Is there any reason not to capitalize the "P"? Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You sure leading zeros are customary for the averages?  TONY   (talk)  13:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I was meaning to remove these in one of head coach lists I was previously reviewing. I'll go ahead and remove the 0. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
