I just thought that with all the shade you throw at Gase, you'd have an opinion about a better coach.
They can only lock up one guy as General Manager or Director of Football Operations. It doesn't matter what title they hang on him because there can only be one guy from each team with the ultimate control.
I'm assuming the Jets did take both Fitterer and Fontenot to dinner, but it's funny that the articles I've seen don't mention that, but they all mention taking Douglas to dinner tonight. Maybe they just ordered in from Jimmy John's or Subway for Fitterer and Fontenot! LOL
It’s far more common for executives to leave their teams to advance than the opposite. Decosta was willing to wait his turn and take over once Newsome stepped down, that is pretty rare for the position. Plus the Eagles do want to keep Douglas but if he wants to leave and run his own team which reports seem to suggest there isn’t a damn thing the Eagles can do to keep him.
Based on how everything has played out so far, and that Douglass certainly has interest in the job or else he wouldn't have taken the interview, I'd say he'll be the next GM by tomorrow, unless the Jets get cheap at the last minute.
You might have to copy and paste your Post a few times NC....that is until the Darksiders get it ahaha A lot of talent on the Jets for sure!...plus good opportunity for management I anticipate a post challenging me on the talent level here..just watch
The new GM will need to hit the ground running. We have holes on both sides of the ball and little depth. Hopefully he's savvy enough to pick up some good players as they come available.
so... do ya'll think we could see an announcement as early as Tuesday or Wednesday? if they are interviewing the bears guy today, that means they won't announce a hiring yet. But once that interview is over, all of the candidates the media has ID'd as targets will have been interviewed. Since there is no reason to drag it out, I'm just thinking it will be wrapped up quickly
this is a point that people keep missing about gase and the '18 dolphins. they had a bottom quarter of the league roster. looking back further, they went 10-6 in '16 with tannehill missing the last month or so of the season with a partially torn acl then tannehill decided to rehab instead of getting surgery and he ends up fully tearing his acl in '17 training camp. they then had to scramble to find a qb and, understandably, went 6-10. people who describe his tenure with the dolphins as a failure are mistaken, imo
Its hard to make that argument when it was Gase who created that roster. he failed in Miami. No excuses. It doesn't mean he will fail here, maybe he learned something, maybe not, we will see
Gase did not create that roster. They had 3 men in charge of building that. Gase, Grier and Tannenbaum.
