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.
The Jets had better be closing the deal with Halaby right now. If they START second round of GM interview next week, it would mean utter stupidity and incompetence at its worst. You already fucking talked to all good candidates in person and started this search MONTHS before anyone else. Get off your fucking ass, and close the deal before in person HC interviews start Monday so you have Halaby there from the get go. It cannot be that hard. Titans just got a really good candidate (#2 on my list) and they fired their GM like two weeks ago and don't even need to find a new coach. For us it is much more critical to have GM in place by Monday. We've been looking for months and the time is up. Get Halaby in NOW and have him interview HCs on Monday.
All I know is we need a good GM in place by Monday, ideally Halaby, so he can start interviewing the HCs in person. Anything short of that is utter failure. I mean I am all for getting more data for the new GM and HC, but not at the expense of prolonging GM process and losing good candidates, and wasting an opportunity for a GM to interview coaches in person. I would much rather have GM in place ready for in person coach interviews than spend time interviewing likes of Hafley, Ulbrich, Locksley and other pathetic scrubs. If you can do this while getting Halaby signed up before Monday, amazing. Otherwise, why the fuck are you wasting time? Again, we need a GM before first in person interview with the NFL team's HC. Halaby had better be here soon. Otherwise, what the fuck are we doing?
that ship has sailed. It is Friday evening, almost Saturday. they aren’t going to have Halaby or any GM in office Monday morning
I know, but somehow I still keep hope alive they are not as incompetent as it certainly looks like. I mean you started GM search months ago. GM can be hired any time and Titans already hired a great GM candidate. Monday you can interview NFL teams' coaches for a HC position in person. So by when does it make sense to hire a GM ? Truly this is not rocket science. I am willing to give them 3 more days to do the obvious and get a Halaby in by Monday, but if does not happen by then, it will be hard to digest this idiocy.
