unnamed sources? mike francessa and brian basset have both named pettine as a source of information for mehta. basset has reported that the jets have monitored his phone calls once before because of this problem, and even says he was slapped. pretty strong case.
which is why i think it might be dennis thurman or karl dunbar that would get the nod. thurman has done a great job with the dbs and we all know who dunbar is, and our d-line has been one of the bright spots of the team this season.
Seems like a good hire if true. Rex knows he is his boss. I'm sure he will demand that Rex become a HC not a coordinator. A big mouth works well in motivating players both positive and negative. I think Rex is too close to some of the players. He has to step back and supervise his coaches on both sides of the ball and let the players know they answer to him when they mess up.
Around these parts 16/16 with a 58% are decent numbers. I think he is the logical move at QB, must address the skill positions.
Also, several teams are thinking about interviewing 49ers defensive line coach Jim Tomsula, league sources said, and if 49ers personnel exec Tom Gamble lands a GM gig, he may end up looking long and hard at Tomsula for the head coaching job there. And, there is still a possibility that Carolina and Jacksonville part with their head coaches pending the outcome of their GM searches. http://www.cbssports.com/columns/st...k-at-best-coaching-gm-options-as-smoke-clears
@MikeGarafolo: Jets' GM interviews end early next week. Buzz is Gamble's the guy but won't be official this wknd. @BrianCoz: Source just said the Jets have not offered the job to Gamble or anyone else yet. #nyj @BrianCoz: Giants director of college scouting Marc Ross will interview with the Jets for their GM job on Monday, according to a source. #nyj @RichCimini: Told at start of GM search that new GM wouldn't be in place by Rex/Woody presser on Tuesday. Nothing has changed. #Jets
Now all of the beat writers come out and say that he wasn't offered the job...not to mention the fact that Rich is trying his best to not be proven wrong on his earlier prediction. I think the only hold up is the fact that we're doing customary interviews to Ross and a few others on Monday. After that, I bet Gamble will have the job Tuesday.
Don't we have to interview and African American candidate before we hire anyone? Edit: Marc Ross is our guy. Makes sense.
As many have noted for a while now, Tom Gamble (SF) well positioned to be Jets GM. By this time in 2014 Jim Tomsula (SF) could be his coach https://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/287640848420724737
Take it for what it's worth, but Incarcerated Bob is reporting that Gamble will have the power to fire Rex if he chooses to. I know that the guy is a clown, but IB has been pretty spot on so far with GM/Head Coaching rumors.
And considering all the drama they had with MJD this past season, I've got the feeling MJD is looking to get out of there.
Fatso is still standing out there as the only one of "everybody" who knew it was Pettine. Basset mentioned the phone calls but specifically said he could not confirm Fatso's fabrication. Nor has anybody else of "everybody" in the nearly two weeks since Fatso broke this "scoop" Even his subservient FAN lackey Schwartz wouldn't confirm it when Fatso demanded that he do so
http://forums.theganggreen.com/showpost.php?p=2681404&postcount=11 I've wanted Gamble for a while.........I'd clearly endorse this move.
