This is according to SNY Jets Extra Point Could this mean Idzik is Leaving ? http://www.ganggreennation.com/2014...as-approached-ron-wolf-to-serve-as-consultant -Article includes tweets
Another year behind us almost...all we have to hope for us that we bring in some higher quality decision makers. This move certainly beats hiring a firm to make these decisions...
Just read this on Espn. This is huge news to see Woody finally consulting some savvy football veterans to right this NY Jets ship. Could be some exciting times ahead...
Title is misleading. Title in the article says jets approached wolf. nothing stating wolf will be onboard
Glad to see Woody is finally looking at football guys. Let's just hope he doesn't bring the next general manager in with stipulations such as the ones he gave Idzik which were basically that he's married to Rex and his success and he must trade Revis. That's probably why Woody brought in an independent staffing firm last year to hire his general manager because he needed someone specific to the plan along with being a cap guy. The thing that I don't get about these cap gurus rising to the general manager ranks is that wouldn't you think teams hire capologists alongside their general managers anyway? That's what never made sense about Tannenbaum as good of a job as he did initially; he was the accountant that handled the contracts for Bradway then all of a sudden our owner figured he'd be good at talent evaluation. This coming from a guy who analyzed numbers. It really perplexes me sometimes.
woody Johnson must be some piece of work. dude owns a nfl team for 15 years and he doesn't know anyone to hire but consultants?? I mean come on. I have no problem with Cassidy or wolf, but for crying out loud, get a grip on your team woody. you should have a report on just about everyone in the nfl and college front offices at this stage. man must put his head in the sand and not pay attention to crap. if I owned a team for this long I would know every single coach and scout around and know who I would want to run things and who to stay away from. sell the team woody, you clearly don't have a clue nor give a damn about anything except ripping off your fan base with your ridiculous psl's. the ny jets will be doomed until this bozo sells or pulls a casey johnsons. sorry to say.
I really like Casserly. I've watched him on NFL network and enjoy his insight. He's a bit nutty, but that's probably what I like best. What's interesting is that Casserly is absolutely a fan of Rex Ryan (although he won't have any say in if Rex stays or goes). As for Casserly as GM...I like the idea but also am concerned. Casserly did not have a good run with the Texans, although drafting some good players. Yet this is a guy who drafted Derrick Carr and struggled heavily at QB. I wouldn't want this guy consulting or drafting a QB for the team. (Or maybe trading for Johnny Manziel who he thinks is good). Ron Wolf sounds like a better candidate for GM...although he's probably also just consulting. From everything I'm hearing, these guys have known connections to Norv Turner who could possibly be a HC candidate. I would hate it for Norv Turner to come here. Norv turner is a bum who doesn't have a passion for football and has been stinking it up with his Vikings offensive coordinator job. I don't want a Teddy Bridgewater type at QB either. I know there's not many options out there...but if Harbaugh won't come here...then I would love to see a college coach or even Dan Quinn take the helm. Someone who is a leader, with a good personality, and willing to focus on the offense. Dan Quinn is a defensive coordinator, but I doubt he would neglect the offense like Rex did and still provide brilliant defensive schemes.
How funny would it be if this 'NFL brain trust' Woody is bringing in tells him Rex is the best guy for HC. Then what? haha what a joke this whole thing is and will become.
Jetsruby what makes you think Dan Quinn knows anything about running a balanced offensive attack? If we get Dan Quinn, we will be ground and pound all the way. We will get Seattle's scheme minus their roster. I would hate the hire.
I don't think the scheme will be that different, but I don't think Quinn is the type of Personality to only focus on defense. He gives off a sense of responsibility that I think would greatly benefit the team. I had no problem with Rex Ryan's ground and pound offense...I had problems with his neglect of the Free Agent market, personnel needed, offensive play calling, etc... Quinn has been around Russell Wilson and company and knows what it takes to run a decent offense. If the offense was just a little bit better in 09' and 10', the Jets may be talking about having two super bowl appearances. Not to mention, Quinn was a D-line coach for the Jets in his previous experience. Playing to the strength of the D line is exactly what the team needs. If Dunbar is part of the house cleaning, they will need a solid coach to help the line grow.
It's not solely up to Rex Ryan who they sign and draft, and he never called the plays. We'll agree to disagree. I would hate either Seattle coordinator. In fact, if we can't land Harbaugh, Brian Kelly or Gus Malzahn Id actually want to retain Rex Ryan because I am not intrigued by any other candidates. Just my take. I think Woody is an idiot and will hire Marc Trestman. Lmao
