John Dorsey turned down opportunities to interview with the Colts and Bears last year. Ted Thompson has 2 more years on his contract. He will 61 at the end of his contract. Thompson is rumored to be looking at retirement when the contract ends. Looks like Dorsey is the heir apparent in Green Bay.

This thread is to look forward, not back. Got comments on Tanny put it in the Tanny thead. This thread, in my mind, is for looking at who may be the new GM, who we want as a GM, what changes are coming to the coaching staff and who would be good fits.

Big changes are coming, lets discuss who would be good fills for the front office and coaching staff. Assume noone is safe, including Ryan despite what Woody said this morning.

Make your cases for people, not based on who was here, but what the people your supporting can bring to the team.


I'm not up to speed on who to bring in as GM or even scouting...so I'll remain silent there for now.

But I believe that even if Ryan stays the entire coaching staff will get a shake up.

Offensive co-ordinator: In my opinion Norv Turner is the choice here. There are a couple of OC's out there that I would prefer more but if they leave thier current position as OC it will be because they were offered a HC job. In my opinion you can question Norv as a Head Coach, But the man has a great offensive mind. He's not going to get a HC offere this year, but he is going to be highly in demand.

QB Coach. I think a good choice here would be Jim Fassel. As a HC and OC I don't believe he's a good choice, but he understands QB's and has shown a knack for developing young QB's. He's really my second choice. My first choice would be Doug Marrone, but I don't believe he'd leave his current position for anything less than a HC or OC position in the NFL.

Defensive Co-Ordinator-I would have no problem with Mike Pettine staying, but I think he'll be let to sign elsewhere. My choice here will raise some eyebrows, Romeo Crennel. He's not going to get offered another HC job, but he's a very solid Defensive co-ordinator. He was handed a trainwreck offense to try to coach, but as a DC before becoming HC he coached a Chiefs defense that was consistantly good, despite how god awful the offense was. It's worth noting that when he became HC instead of DC the chiefs defense fell from the #11 defense to the #20 defense. If the Jets do truly keep Ryan I think that Crennel would be a great compliment to Ryan.

Currently I have no opinion on the OL Coach, DL, LB, DB coaches, or special teams coach. I currently have no opinion on new GM, or who should head up the scouting department. The only comment I have at this time on the GM is that it has to be a football guy with a background in assessing talent.

My pick is Jim Kensil

50-50 shot Jets get it wrong again. After Joe Walsh was fired the Jets asked 49ers coach extraordinaire Bill Walsh for recommendation. He suggested two of his assistants Bruce Coslet and Mike Holmgren. Holmgren didn't want the limelight of the big city so the Jets took Coslet and the rest is history.

Yes, that's how I see it. Dorsey is not going anywhere.
