The WORST Wide Receiver Move in New York Jets HISTORY | Webster Slaughter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- 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.

Rich Kotite (head coach)
Leon Hess (owner)
If you ever encounter a moment where someone asks, “what was Rich Kotite thinking,” the only correct reply should be, “he wasn’t.”
"Nothing" is more succint.
"Which is worse than if he spiked the ball into the ground on every play"
Take away the 'what'.
"Rich Kotite"
That's all I needed to hear.
Lol, I thought exactly the same thing.
When I hear his name, I respond, "Say less."
Yeah…anything after the one two words is fair game
A lot of Jets fans feel Adam Gase was worse. At least Rich Kotite didn't ruin Sam Darnold.
Rich Kotite was the best coach for the Philadelphia Eagles that the Cowboys ever had...lol
Do you remember the press conference the JETS (A.K.A Just End The Season) when they announced that Rich Kotite was the new coach? The owner said something to the fact that he wanted to win a SB before he died and Rich K was the right coach to give him one. The reporters LAUGHED at this statement. I vividly remember watching the debacle press conference on ESPN.
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.
30 years and still has not won the Super Bowl they were close in 98 but that was the closest
During that era, it was worth watching Jets games just to see exactly how they were going to lose. It was like Dan Marino cast an infernal curse on the Jets with the fake spike play in '94 and they completely fell to pieces for the next few seasons.
Kotite’s roles as coach and GM is the most puzzling aspect of his career
Yes, but somehow Kotite had some success as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. The best explanation I ever heard for that was because Kotite was taking over a solid roster, built by former coach Buddy Ryan.
@@67marlins81 exactly
@@67marlins81 I don't think losing 7 straight to blow a 7-2 start can be considered as a "success".
@@iamhungey12345 hey getting to that start to begin with is still something some teams would crave for *cough* Detroit *cough* Jacksonville *cough*
@@farhanatashiga3721 Not losing 7 straight however, as much as I hate the Eagles that team had no business blowing that start.
Webster Slaughter was a very good receiver in his day, but he was never going to be good enough for the Jets to overcome having Rich Kotite as coach. They could have brought in Jerry Rice and it still wouldn't have overcome Kotite's stench on the field.
Oh, I remember this one so well. It was a really bad situation from every angle. That was just an incredibly bad decision...but there were many of those in the Kotite era. Great video--Excellent context
I read this comment and e was expecting it to be a troll comment. But it wasn’t. And now I’m questioning life and existence itself.
Just think. They gave up on Pete Carroll for this trash.
Rob Moore was my favorite player and I absolutely HATED that they traded him. They also had Terance Mathis on their receiving corps for three years and never utilized him. All the Jets have done my entire life is torture me.
J-E-S-T, Jest, Jest, Jest, Jest!
How long you been a jets fan?
@@antimike11 Since Bruce Coslet’s first season in 1990 when I was nine years old.
@@justinjoseph6966 ok, I been since 2000 when we had Al Groh
Rob Moore Chris Burkett Al Toon Terrance Mathis....quite the squad they had on paper in 90
There were two things that Rich Kotite did well for the New York Jets: Wayne Chrebet and lose.
Chrebet was damn good on his day
@@deathtowrestling2518 As a Bills fan, I always had massive respect for Wayne Chrebet. He got the nickname "Green Lantern," the one thing a Green Lantern needs is will power. Wayne Chrebet has that in abundance. How else to you go from being a UFA from Hofstra, who got cut from a CFL team after one day, was held up at the gate of the Jets' training facility because the guard didn't believe he was a football player and battled through injuries to have an 11-year career with the Jets.
When Chrebet made the Jets, he was the first Hofstra alum to play in the NFL in 30 years; and he'll probably be the last as Hofstra no longer has a football team.
@@tygrkhat4087 - Wayne Chrebet was pretty fearless in his day. He wasn't scared to run routes up the middle of the field where a linebacker or safety was potentially waiting to have his ribs for dinner.
@@tygrkhat4087 eh, didn't Marques Colston go to Hofstra?
@@Phateagle262 So he did. Wayne is second last.
Moves such as this one are why Kotite is the worst head coach the Jets ever hired. Even Slaughter back in 1994 would've made their passing attack decent. If you're gonna get rid of Art Monk and Rob Moore, you had better have some capable replacements lined up, but Kotite was gonna Kotite.
"Kotite's gonna Kotite." Gotta add that to the lexicon, along with "Holy Favre!" and "What the Martz?"
This isn’t the worst thing that Kotite has done in an Official Jaguar Gator 9 video.
That oilers offense was stellar on Super Tecmo Bowl.
Also in real life.
I liked Tecmo Bowl!
When they had Ernest Givens, Haywood Jefferies, Curtis Duncan with the run n shoot, deadly.
kotite had no business being a head coach or a GM. kotite does not deserve a capital letter. Likely Slaughter showed leadership qualities in their conversation, and kotite wanted no part of what he would percieve as a troublemaker. That would be kotite
I need a “how Rich Kotite got hired” to explain what people saw in him. I assume there was some point where he looked ok.
Leon Hess fired Pete Carroll and immediately hired Kotite because he wanted to see another Jets championship in his lifetime, and he was getting old. Seriously, that's what he said.
@@fredaaron762 Now if Rich Kotite had taken a team to the Super Bowl I could understand the thinking. I am correct in thinking he has not done so (at least as head coach).
@@TNTITAN exactly! While he had a winning record with the Eagles, he wasn't winning divisions and playoff games. Yet, Leon Hess looked at him like he was a cross between Vince Lombardi & Don Shula, and fired a talented young coach in Pete Carroll after a decent rookie season. One of the worst ownership decisions in Jets history, and there were plenty of those!
Kotite also was the Jets offensive coordinator during a period of relative offensive success for the team, 1985-1989, and built a good personal relationship with Hess during that time. Kotite didn't look great coaching the Eagles, but he didn't look like an incompetent buffoon.
@@billslocum9819 That what I was looking for. I image at some point he looked promising.
Also, I remember a joke about this team by the late, great Don Rickles. It was on a 1978 Dean Martin Celebrity Roast that Joe Namath was part of. While introducing Broadway Joe, Don says, "The Jets had a great season this year. They finished the season." Never before have I heard such a simple phrase get so much laughter. Then again, I've never seen a franchise get so much, either...
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.
As a Browns fan. I loved Slaughter, Langhorne, and Brennan. Hated to see Slaughter in a Oilers jersey.
Rich Kottite was a terrible coach/GM.
That really was a good group of wideouts. Good team, just couldn't beat Elway. R.I.P., Marty.
And ozzie newsome. And kevin mack was my dude too. And eric metcalf
The worst move by Rich Kotite happened before he even coached a game with the Jets. In the 1995 Draft they had a chance to draft Warren Sapp, but instead picked TE Kyle Brady. Tight End was not a position they had a address, but they did anyways. That right there set the tone of the Rich Kotite error!
Cheap ass Jets didn't want to pay sapp's salary demands-pre rookie cap-so they passed on him. Same thing with marino. Yet they wasted all of those $$$'s on neil o'donnell.
Slaughter had the 434 yd and 32 receptions despite playing only 10 game
I remember the Kotite debacle in NY very well....every week the NY Post and Daily News had great headlines covering the Jets' blunders....
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.
The problem with Kyle Brady was that he had to leave New York for Jacksonville in order for him to flourish as a player. Kotite will go to his grave being reminded that he should have taken Warren Sapp.
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.
Pronounced "Ko-Tight" he was our coach in Philly for a few years...
If there was a worst head coach who got way, way to many opportunities in the NFL, it was Rich Kotite! How/why he ever got a job I can't help feel had to include naked photos and probably a goat or other such live stock. Only thing that would make sense to me at least.
As a die hard, life long Jets fan, I have to say this doesn't even crack the top 50 idiotic moves they have made.
LOL 😆
lol....exactly
Signing o Donnell for 25 million has to be number one. He was a product of good Steelers organization just like lev bell.
Agreed, Slaughter would've made no difference on that team.
@@holdenmcgroin9774 that still pisses off college buddies of mine who are still Jets fans.
8:52 explains everything you need to know about the Jets
TBH I'd just have signed him for that epic name, everything else was a bonus.
Possible future topic: the "pathetic-ness" of the 1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. 7 offense touchdowns all season (2 wins, 12 losses). Only 4 offensive touchdowns through their first 12 games.
Even as a longtime Bucs fan, I think I could grit my teeth long enough to watch that one...maybe.
Shut out 6 times and before they dropped 33 on the Saints in their first ever win, they had scored 53 points in 12 games with 23 of those coming in 1 game meaning they scored 30 points combined in 11 of 12 games. Of course they beat my beloved Cards. Fun Fact, though. 2 seasons later they were 10 points away from the Super Bowl.
what do you expect with the washed up old ball coach himself as qb? And john mcvay's undersized slow wr son he brought with him from usc as a wr? And parnell dickerson was no upgrade as qb. nfl #kd succs when they came in.
@@stevenbauer4799 Steve Spurrier was not on the 1977 Buccaneers. He had retired following the 0-14 1976 season. Parnell Dickinson was on the roster of the 1977 Bucs, but did not throw a pass all season. Parnell did see some limited action at QB in 1976 for the Bucs. The QBs of the 1977 Bucs who saw action were Gary Huff, Randy Hedberg, and Jeb Blount. John McVay was never with the Bucs. In 1977, McVay was head coach of the New York Giants. John MC KAY (a very similar name to McVay) was the Bucs coach from 1976 to 1984, having previously been head coach at Southern California. John McKay, Jr., also known as J.K. McKay, was the son of head coach John McKay. J.K.. was with the Bucs from 1976 to 1978, never catching more than 20 passes in a season, and scored only 2 TD's receiving in his career (none in 1977).
@@williamhild1793 Oops I misread the '77 part of it. Could have been about the '76 succs as well who scored the fewest pts. in a season in which both spurrier, MCKAY, as well as mckay jr. were all a part of the team. And both the '76 and '77 succs sucked and had saints and cards not overestimated succs thinking they would win easily they would have gone 0-16 as well. And notice the part where i said 'MCKAY's son who he brought with him from usc' was a direct reference to the former usc coach john mckay not john mcvay the one time g man coach not to be confused with sean mcvay the ram coach who could have been related to john mcvay the giant coach but not john mckay succ coach or mckay jr. the son/wr. And jeb blount was mel blount's brother too. Very confusing...smart ass.
Can we talk about the 1995 KC Chiefs. I was only 7 and am shocked to realize that was literally Steve Bono's only full season...and he was 33
I loved watching Webster Slaughter play for Cleveland.
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.
Funny, I don't follow the Jets. But as soon as film of the Jets coach came up..."Is that Rich Kotite?" A name I hadn't heard in 25 years
Crazy Eyes Gase can always blame the moves made by two GMs for his lack of success. Richie Can't Coach Right has only himself to blame.
Webster Slaughter is one of the most badass names I’ve ever heard
Rich Kotite almost killed Randall Cunningham's career.
To be fair, Buddy Ryan had a hand in almost getting Randall Cunningham killed too. Buddy Ryan was a genius on defense. Not so much on offense and didn't have an inkling of a clue as to how to develop Cunningham as a pocket passer.
Just a reminder that the Jets already had a coach worse than Adam Gase.
Robert Saleh
@@mrpapagiorgio3620 Kotite is still the worst coach the Jets ever had
I truly believe that Kotite was one of the worst coaches in the entire history of the NFL. And lord knows the jets have had more than one of them lmao
after watchin this team the last few years....the Kotite years feel like the Lombardi years in Jet Fan Life
Notice how all of Kosar’s passes are all on the money!!
Webster slaughter was a beast
Loved that browns team, pains me to say that as a steelers fan
Kosar mack slaughter,
Even their backups were good back then.
Reggie Langhorne, Brian Brennan...
Don't forget Byner... Newsome, and then later Metcalf and Hoard.
Good lord. Hoard.
Heh
Thankfully it all fell apart when they got rid of Marty and the Steelers were able to catch them on the series...
I remember them trailing like 41-31 in total wins (or maybe it was 51-31?)... now they past them.
Kosar, Mack, Byner , Slaughter, Langhorne, Brennan, Metcalf, great group of players.
They made the original browns exciting to watch
There was some great players on that defense too. The team was stacked. Should have had at least 1 SB win.
@@mrHoppedupford Nah, those were the years that the NFC powerhouses were VASTLY superior to any team the AFC could put in the SB. The Browns couldn't even get by the Broncos who then went on to get their asses kicked regularly. Same would've happened to Cleveland.
I believe Wayne Chrebet emerged out of nowhere that season.
Jets will jets
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.
@@eugenedenbrook322 - To be fair, the Eagles could have beaten the Bears in the 1988 playoff game known as the Fog Bowl if the fog didn't help the Bears that day.
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.
Proof that Rich not only LOOKED like a butt-fumble, but THOUGHT like one, too.
Saints fans: we need WRs, TEs, LBs, or DBs
Saints front office: go draft that o/d lineman
I love following the Jets circus. The Football Gods are still angry about the fixed Super Bowl III
Future Dumb Decisions idea: Bill Parcells, 1989 Rams/Giants playoff. Giants lead late in the first half, under a minute to go, instead of taking a knee and going to halftime with a lead, he decides to gamble. Simms get picked off, Rams score a touchdown just before the end of the half.
Webster Slaughter, the man who cost the Browns the 1987 AFC Championship Game.
You mentioned the Jets drafted Keyshawn Johnson the next year. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about how the Jets used Johnson to get two of their four first round picks in 2000.
Was it worth it? (I thought KJ was above average but not worth it in the long run)
Him watching that Byner run instead of trying to block Castille who was his man still bugs me now. That play was the first thing I thought of when I saw this video title.
Did Bubby Brister play for every NFL team?
He definitely tried to 😂😂😂😂
Bubby brister the bucked tooth bomber.
All jets coaches outside of weeb and parcells SUCK. bb is their third best coach ever and he was jet coach for just one day.
Joe Walton was an OK coach for the Jets back in the 1980's. He did get the Jets into the playoffs a couple of times in spite of having an injury prone Ken O'Brien as their QB.
d@@davester1970 yep. walton would be just after walt michaels. 3a and 3b.
Herm Edwards
@@stevenbauer4799 - Of course the Jets did have a couple of good years with Rex Ryan before he became a walking punch line.
One of the better players that came out of San Diego State. Pretty underrated career.
I think you misplaced your punctuation. The period came three words early. It makes more sense as "there is a free agent veteran wide receiver on the market who is a really good player and openly expressed interest in joining the Jest for some reason."
Hard to believe someone actually wanted to play for the Jets.
They had work available. Sometimes when you're an NFL player, you can't be choosy.
Those spikes that Webster was doing after touchdowns near players. Are called taunting now.
The New York Jets should just SPIKE the football into the ground on EVERY SINGLE OFFENSIVE PLAY!!!!
I'm just here for the Kotite bashing.
This move was similar to when back in 2005 NBA free agent Erick Dampier expressed interest in playing for the Memphis Grizzlies on numerous occasions. The Grizzlies management at time, in which the GM was NBA legend Jerry West made a "blockbuster free agent signing" as the FOX13 news here in Memphis hyped it up to be. As it turned out, it wasn't Dampier they signed, they signed Brian Cardinal, who was a garbage journeyman
I don't remember seeing this back in the day, but this blunder is such a Kotite move. I bet Boomer wanted to strangle Kotite.
He should have strangled Kotite for not giving him any O-line help. As good of a receiver Webster Slaughter was back in the day, he was never on his best day good enough to overcome having Rich Kotite as coach and GM. Not even Jerry Rice would have made the Jets under Kotite winners.
Kotite being hired as a coach and GM is an example of someone failing upwards until even that turns out to have limits too.
Or an example of the "Peter Principle" in action, that people reis to the level of their incompetence.
@@billdang3953 Actually the guy has signs of incompetence with the Eagles as well.
One thing you have to factor in as well boomer was a lefty. Slaughter was probably used to a right handed qbs for 9 seasons. Makes a difference
The Jets and Lions should just be relegated to the CFL. They probably wouldn't win many games there either.
Beng Canadian, the CFL would give the polite answer of, "Thank you, no." All the time they're thinking "Are you out of your fucking minds?"
"We left it all out on the field?"
- Rich Kotite
3:57 Damn, nice catch!
There's nothing more I like than to hear someone talk while eating food.....
Eagles fan here and Rich Kotite was our worst coach too. He wrecked a decent Eagles team got fired and immediately landed the Jets job and blew them up completely.
The only way the '95 Jets passing game could've been any worse was if they had spiked the ball to the ground every single play.
During the 1995 season, I was thinking that replacing Carrol with Kotite was inexcusable.
the mark sanchez offensive lineman ass sack and fumble is one of if not the absolute best fail play ever.
Idk what's worse, being considered the worst coach 2 franchises ever had, or a team hiring him after seeing how terrible he could be with a different team and still signing him.
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).
I remember Boomer Esiason appearing on Mike and the Mad Dog after every game in 95 and repeating the phrase: "Nobody said it was going to be easy."

JETS! JETS! JETS!
Amazing ineptitude pretty much describes Rich Kotite.
Oh Rich Kotite. You should do a video about the wet play chart.
Red Foreman: "Dumbass!"
How did Kotite go from a semi-genius with the Eagles to the hated, mocked coach of the Jets?
Good lord you could do your whole channel on stupid things the Jets have done. Add in a dash of Kotite and you're gold.
Kotite and bad decisions are like halloween and candy corn
So basically this is an example of the Jets 'cheaping-out', and paying another high price......
It's the Jets, that's a sufficient reason for any number of boneheaded decisions.
Can you find the video where QB Richard Todd threw the football and tagged the guy in the back of the head? It wasn’t a bad pass that Todd threw, Todd took the ball after it was placed on the line of scrimmage by the refs and threw it at a DL. If you could find this, that would be cool!!
As a Philadelphia Eagles fan I can tell you that Rich Kotite was the biggest baffoon NFL history.
You mean besides drafting Keyshawn Johnson 1st overall?
Moore, monk, keyshawn, slaughter, and wayne crebet would be a cool passing attack. Boomer throwing of course too
Kotite actually said the reason he traded Rob Moore and went with Anderson/Yarborough was the year before, when he was HC of the Eagles, Anderson and Yarborough torched the Eagles secondary when the teams practiced together in the pre-season. The comment went something like "Our guys Bobby Taylor and Mark McMillian couldn't cover these guys in 7 on 7"
Wait a minute, the RB had 17 catches? LOL, were they just playing him at WR?
I doubt Slaughter would've made a damn difference with that Jets team, they had a terrible team and coach. Slaughter really sucked in Kansas City and he was done anyways.
wow how much of a disaster was Rich Kotite, truly terrible, worse even than Barry Switzer, and that is saying something because Switzer was horrendous
The biggest hole on this team was at head coach.
We can knock Kotite all we want but he may have been one of the smartest coaches in NFL history.
I would love to have UrinatingTree's take on Rich Kotite and how many buttfumbles this guy buttfumbled.
Kotite can relax. He’s no longer the worse ever. Thanks j0e.
Someone needs to bring back the spike between the legs after a td
Why would you assume Rich Kotite was ever thinking?
26 Years Ago
Passing on Slaughter wasn't as bad as not passing on Stephen Hill or Devin Smith or Denzel Mims...
Webster Slaughter. Dynamite name.
It's Rich Kotite. What else were you expecting?
Joe Douglas.....is Kotite in drag
Contract dispute was with Browns HC Bill Belichick.
All you had to say was two words: Rich Kotite. Lol. We Eagles fans remember him too . . .
