If possible, can a moderator make a Vcash thing to see whether or not the new GM would keep Rex? I think a lot of people will say that he will, and I can see it happening.
Let say your dream job is to become a GM? The owner tells u I want to hire u but I'm keeping Rex as my HC. How many of them are going to turn the job down for that reason? I'll tell you none will do that.
Actually, yes, more than a few will. It's just like when coaches are approached by respective teams. Some coaches want complete control over personnel, and if the owner won't give them that, they say "screw that" and decline the job.
I truly hope for the sake of the Jets franchise stability that you're right. However the answer lies in how good of a GM hire they make.
Really? Show me where a guy offered his first GM job and turn it down. Look at the Bears last off season. They hired a new GM and telling him Smith stays as the HC. He fired him today but gave him a year and I think that what Woody is doing.
woody may be following the steelers example. the owner hires the gm and coach separately. both report to him. the gm handles personnel, and the coach sticks to coaching.
they arent offering the job to you or me, they would hopefully be offering it to a qualified individual. and nobody gets to that point having the most important underling appointed for them. sure you may get a guy to bite on it, but thats not really the type of gm i would want as he doesnt even have an image that he can begin to mold. he is still trying to do the whole ground and pound bullshit from the last 4 years. then what happens after next year?
This is a recipe for stability because when you are forced to make a change you aren't creating ripples throughout the entire organization. If the GM goes the coach is still in place. If the coach needs to go it is no reflection on the GM. Two-thirds of the organization is always stable. The owner, who controls the process, and whichever of the two operational groups is not affected by the change. The method requires a very involved owner who is also fairly hands off on decisions not related to replacing the two guys he has running the football operation.
Speaking of coaching staff, a quick question: what happened to that alleged Rex "get talent or fire me" leak, the one that Fatcessa claimed was from DC Mike Pettine (Manis Metha's supposed 'unnamed source')?
Probably because the GM is going to review the entire coaching staff to make a decision on who is/isn't retained. It also means that Rex is still on thin ice no matter what the owner has said. Coaches that don't have the authority to fire/hire their own staff will not be around long.
Better question is how does M. Cavanaugh still have a job? He is our qb coach I think he deserves some blame....
None except those with other options, thats read good GM candidates. Joe schmoo off the street wouldn't turn it down, people with no other options wouldn't turn it down, but are those the guys you really want as GM?
I'm not talking about "Joe Schmoo". Plus I think they would turn the job down quicker because of our cap problems more then Rex being the coach.
The Jets kept Schotty at the end of last season but he didn't last through the offseason. What's the issue?
this I never understood all the hate for Sparano, I didn't scrutinize everything he did but nothing stands out. If you asked the same question of Rex I could give you a laundry list of fire able offenses. My take is the offense sucked but it sucked before he got here. To me it would be like hiring a midget and then later firing him because he is too short. Sparano like Tebow was a known quantity Rex didn't seem to have a problem with him, well only until his neck is on the line and he needed a scape goat. It's not that I oppose the idea of bringing in OC who's known for more innovative explosive style, but why didn't they do this in the first place?
