I get it - we're Jets fans. But what if the next thing we hear from the Jets is that XX and ZZ have signed as GM and HC of the NY Jets? Yeah, some will love it; more will hate it and some will just shrug and say "show me" when they get through the draft and onto the field. One thing is certain - unless the secret number one choices are held up in the playoffs, the sooner the better.
Out of all the candidates - GM and HC - I'm only really drawn towards Halaby. I have reservations about everyone else. I just think Halaby represents something we've never had - a guy who actually looks at football in a modern way. He's not just going to regurgitate antiquated talking points that aren't backed up by data. He'd also help us land the right type of HC candidate if he's offered the GM job first. I'll be truly shocked if we hire Halaby though. He's the total antithesis of what we usually look for in GMs and HCs (which is why he'd likely be a good hire).
If Halaby even interviewed here, Woody would say something really dumb in the interview, Halaby would tell him that's dumb, and Woody wouldn't give him the job. The reason is Halaby knows he'll get other offers, so he doesn't have to kiss Woody's ass. Which means the Jets will end up with someone who's incompetent but will kiss Woody's ass.
