hopefully they will bring in a new gm who will be allowed to decide on the head coach, who will then decide on his staff. thats how it should work at least.
It's hard to fire other people when the GM is getting let go. They'll sort the rest out as the org chart comes into clearer focus in the week or two ahead. The Jets are going to have to hire somebody at GM fairly quickly so that they can resolve the other stuff and so that they are not left picking through the leftovers if other teams snap up the prime coaches.
TJB suggested they may try to reassign Sparano because they owe him 2 more years of contract. Maybe have him take DeGuglielmo's job. Makes sense with no GM hire. However, could screw Sparano over if he's fired after other teams fill a lot of their staffs.
He's probably still testing out his 40 time as we speak. Dude not only fist pumps but he has a hell of a make up speed. Eric Smith take lessons... For real, I think Woody is just trying to "own" the sources(Schefter) who called firing Sparano before yesterday's game and to try and make their sources(AKA The Jets Leak) look stupid in the process. Doesn't accomplish much but whatever....its a win for Woody in his mind against the Jets leak.
I hear he is there washing players cars and shit,One report even said he offered to babysit Cromarties kids in the offseason. No they are waiting to sign the new GM first
babysitting cromarties kids is a full time job. they are all over the place. maybe he can help learn their names.
Dude thats not happening, If Rex was gonna be fired it would have happened already, Get over it Rex isn't going anywhere deal with it . The new GM isn't gonna have the power to fire Rex if Woody want's Rex, This isn't a black and white picture theres a grey area to this nobody seems to realize
If Sparano is here during the draft, you might as well call it a season. And I know people will say that's just overreacting, but it really isn't. The guy is that bad. He's really that bad.
so you dont think the owner would like to get his number 1 guy in place before he decides about number 2? thats just not even sensible. the gm is responsible for the team, he makes the decisions on the personnel and the head coach the head coach makes the decisions on the coaching staff. there is nothing to get over, if its NOT done this way it is being done incorrectly. to force a coach onto the next gm is stupid. there are many gms out there who will not even touch a job where they have the coach forced on them. do you think the jets gm job is such a sweet deal that nobody would ever say no? you would think woody would have learned long ago that forcing guys onto their superiors is foolish. see schottenheimer and rex.
How is the coach forced on the new GM? Any smart GM with a brain will realize that Rex is on a short leash. Especially if for some ungodly reason, he sticks with Sanchez. The new GM has to assemble talent first. He has to get a front office. He has to get people out there to the NFL combine, senior bowl, all that jazz...do you really want him to have to search for a new head coach? Don't forget; he'll have to search for a new OC, a new offensive staff (including a new QB coach) and probably a new DC.... Do you think he'll have time to do all of this before the draft? Rex is good enough that he gets one more year here (unlike some other teams that fired both coach and GM).
Yep, I mentioned this earlier today in another thread. If Woody is insisting to any new GM that Rex must stay then that will definitely impede the number of quality GM candidates looking at the Jets. Let's hope Woody is smarter than this but there's no reason to think he is. Hopefully this Jed Hughes guy is lol
It sounds good in theory but do you really think a GM comes into any job and says "Hey I got lucky, I already have a HC here, one less thing to worry about." Seriously, the point of a GM is to construct an organization in his image. The head coach is probably the biggest extension of that GM's image. If a GM comes in and wants to shake up scouting, the OC and all the other stuff, you better be sure as hell that he wants to take a critical evaluation about the most important member of his new administration which is the Head Coach. I wish I could but I just can't buy this logic that the new GM is going to be relieved that he doesn't need to find a head coach. The new GM is going to most likely want to hire a new coach unless the incumbent is the spitting image of what the new GM is looking for. Maybe the GM comes in under the auspices of Rex being a one year trial like you say. I just don't see a GM agreeing to those terms.
Then he wouldn't be the right GM for us. It's going to be 'damned if we do, damned if we don't' by most fans on here and the media. Personally, a qualified GM should realize that Rex can be a very successful coach and his failures THIS year had something to do with the practice squad talent that Tannenbaum insisted could be equated to Victor Cruz.
