Home > The Way We Hear It > Whispers June 22, 2008 ~ ~ ~ Despite a recent reshuffling of the Jets? front office, word we?re hearing is that for all intents and purposes, coach Eric Mangini and GM Mike Tannenbaum will remain as the final voices when it comes to player personnel. cheers ~ ~ ~ > http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+Way+We+Hear+It/Whispers/2008/whispers062208.htm
Surprise, Surprise. These guys have a long-term and good relationship. Mangini was impressive when he took Tannenbaum's advice and interviewed Bill Callahan for Offensive Line Coach. He liked him well enough to also give him the title "Assistant Head Coach". This shows that Tangini is a real collaboration. Now let's see where this takes us...
Callahan provides insurance if Mangini needs to go and Cohen provides insurance if both Mangini and Tannenbaum get the boot. Obviously it would take a terrible start by the Jets similar to last year's 1-7 to make either of those scenarios likely. It's starting to look like Woody's ownership style leans towards replacing from within and keeping continuity by having the replaced people stay in the building somehow. I would see this as a positive thing on a good team but I think it's probably not on the Jets.
Kelly posts common knowledge, bradwaysux twists said common knowledge into a statement about our inescapable doom, and someone ignores anything to do with the thread and fixates on Kelly. Thank god there are a few things one can depend on in this crazy, mixed up world.
Actually I was the sunniest kid in the classes that worked and one of the surliest in the classes where the teacher was incompetent and lost control of the room. I got myself transferred out of my 3rd grade class to the one across the hall because the teacher, who was fired a couple of years later, was letting a few screwups take up 90% of her time and the rest of us sat around twiddling our thumbs while Johny did his "to the principal's office on a yo-yo string" thing with the teacher. If the Jets were a successful franchise I'd be the happiest guy in the room. In fact I wouldn't even be in the room because I have better things to do with my time than post about my football team. This is my venting at the Jet's incompetence.
It truly is sad and pathetic that you think you are so perfect. So you were a dick in the third grade too? That's really no surprise.
Is the only way you can get it , bore us with pictures of this chick and then show here you posted this crap. And BTW, PHISH SUCKS and so does your post
Ugh certainly hope you are not correct that Callahan is our HC in waiting. He may turn out to be a terrific line coach but for sure he has already proven he is a horrorific HC JMHO
The Jets have gone out of their way to layer in a fallback level for the upcoming season with Callahan and Cohen. Makes me think that Woody is not going to sit on his hands if the Jets get off to a really bad start and near mid-season without turning it around. All the talk from him about Mangini and Tannenbaum being safe no matter what the Jets do this year sounds like a vote of confidence to me.
Huh? You really think if Mangini tanked that Bill friggin Callahan would be his ideal replacement? Seriously? How did they even go out of their way here?
B.C. is in a good place - he will probably be quite successful as an assistant again. Happy he's with the Jets and no longer with the (my) Huskers that he tanked during the last 4 years - did not seem to understand the college game or psyche.
DWare, Mangini and Tannenbaum must have sold management on a five year plan to get these investments and moves done this year. By the time Callahan proves his worth he will have paid off for Tangini with great line play that reinforces Mangini and Tannenbaum's five year plan. People who are willing to go through coaches and GMs like popcorn deserve the perennial losers this kind of impatient ignorance breeds in NFL franchises that are victimized by frivolous, incompetent ownership. Sticking with a regime "too long" may actually be long enough to win a Super Bowl -- just ask the Tisches and the Maras why they fail to be moved by their more fickle fans.
