lol! If Woody Johnson wants to know how the Steelers operate, all he has to do is pick up the phone and call Art II or Dan Rooney and ask. We're not the freaking Patriots. There's no secret sauce.
SOJ? hardly, it's common sense, you prepare in advance when you know there's going to be a vacancy, and belive me the team knew several weeks ago there were going to be vacancies. good teams prepare in advance, bad teams react on the spur of the moment and throw everything together at the last minute. Good teams have identified their candidates in advance and quickly move to the interview stage, 2 weeks or so later and the jets still just starting to request contact permission from people after boats have sailed. That's just common business sense. But if you want to equivlate the lack of common business sense as being SOJ then yep, SOJ.
God I wish Eric DeCosta would just wake up one day and say, "I'd be nice to be the GM of the New York Jets"
LOL??? Woody is better off talking to the actual members of the front office. This is a good opportunity for Woody to look at other organizations.
Well considering that the first GM appointment was around Tuesday or so, and it's Thursday, we're not in bad shape...
My question is when GM candidates do actual come in to be interviewed,,,,,who is in that room asking the questions ? Who is doing the interviewing ?
Caldwell fired Mularkey in Jax. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8831771/mike-mularkey-jacksonville-jaguars-fired-2-14-season Thought this was a telling quote: "However, I must do what I believe is best for the Jacksonville Jaguars and immediately explore every avenue possible to turn our football team around. For that to happen as seamlessly as we want, and as quickly as our fans deserve, I feel it is in everyone's best interests for an immediate and clean restart."
The point is, he was hired by an organization that gave him the ability to keep or fire the existing coach. I'm sure that wasn't the only reason he chose them, but being forced to keep Rex has to be a deal breaker for at least some of these potential GM's. I hate to see the potential field narrowed for that reason. It could mean the difference between getting and not getting the best candidate. Hopefully it will ultimately work out for the best.
And caldwell apparently has brian schottenheimer and mike nolan on his short list. Call me crazy but I'd much rather have rex than either of those guys. We also don't know if rex even played a part in his decision. I mean malarchy is trash.
