Maybe JI knows something we don't. Maybe our savings from this year are setting us up for a half-century of dominance. Somehow. Maybe. Blahahahahahaa.
I think it should be both. But between the two Rex at his best is better than anything Idzik has shown as a GM.
I would really dislike seeing the GM go after 2 years and the HC staying. I think Rex goes but Idzik stays. Think that's what Woody does
Call me crazy, but I think both guys stay on. I don't see Woody paying Rex to coach another team and I don't see Woody firing a man that saved him $20mil in salary. The idiot fans will show up next year, buy the PSL's and the swag no matter what.
I don't see that happening unless this team goes better than 8-8. Or wins the AFC East with a sub .500 record. Idzik stays because firing your GM after 2 years is pushing the reset button after pushing it two years ago. Rex goes because you missed the playoffs 4 years in a row. Unless the players and everyone goes and tells Woody to keep him, I see Woody reluctantly sending him out the door. I don't think Woody keeps that 2o million and Rapport reported earlier today Woody didn't have any handcuffs on Idzik telling him to do that
My preference would be for both to stay. If Rex is fired this year, that's on Izdik (You can't know for sure how Rex would have faired if our cap space had been utilized). If we suck next year, that's on both of them, and they should both go, no questions asked.
So you're saying that Idzik rat holed that $20mil to impress his new boss AND have a huge warchest for his handpicked next coach? If so, I will have found a new respect for Idzik as the Machiavelli of our times.
what the point of firing Rex? the problem is with the talent on the team - or the clear lack thereof - nobody could coach this team to success.
This team is screaming for a new direction that's why. Rex could probably use a change of scenery as well. Sometimes, things just run their course and you have to move on. For better or worse, the status quo has go.
No I did not say that. My guess at Idzik's plan is not to overpay for the middle tier of players. That's what he tried to do this offseason. He didn't wan to saddle the Jets with large contracts on players who couldn't live up to it. We will see how that strategy pays off this coming offseason by a) if he keeps his job b) who he drafts/signs.
I feel that on defense Rex scaled back his pass rush and it was a lot more effective than in previous weeks with some of his predictable insane blitz packages that other teams had figured out. It gave the team a better chance to win today. As for firing him you have to give him the remainder of the season. It accomplishes nothing to fire him now. But to me he has to go.
I don't understand how firing idzik would be "resetting". At this point, what plan does Idzik have in place? He hasn't done anything but skimp the free agency market and draft untalented " character" players (save for Richardson and Amaro - and everyone knows Richardson was Rex's pick). There is no plan. In two years Idzik has done nothing for this team but sit on his hands.
He is. But I think if Rex takes another HC job he forfeits it. I think all coaching contracts are like that for equivalent positions.
Rex needed to go in 2012. Idzik needs to go now. Get Bill Pollian to be the GM and Mike Westhoff to be the HC.
I would love to have Westoff as HC of the Jets, he's so knowledgeable and understands the game. Do you think he would come out of retirement to helm Gang Green?
Next season we have over 20 free agents and I heard we are gonna have 78 mill in cap space,Woody should fire Idzik and Rex and bring someone in to spend all that money and do some good in the draft
