Dorsey and DeCosta are the guys and I hate it when people think they wouldn't want to come to the biggest media market in the freaking world, like who honestly aspires to be a GM for the fucking Jaguars or another small market team. What guys are scared of the media? Shut up, New York is the place everyone and anyone wants to be, if you turn around one of the league's most powerful franchises, you will get a statue made for you, I think they get the top GM candidates, the Jets GM position is an in demand job, your crazy if you think people wouldn't want to work in New York
Depends on if they are ego driven or not. While GB and Baltimore may not be NY, they have something that NY needs: Football Owners who know their place. Who would you rather work for?
So, you'd uproot your 1 and 3 year old from the small town you'd lived in for most of the last two decades to leave a company you loved working for and had good prospects in to come to work for a misfiring company that was under media siege in a big city that was as polar opposite from the life you've made for your family as possible? Really?
Why would those guys just want to wait around for Ozzie Newsome and Ted Thompson, when they can become the main in the big city and get paid extremely well, I don't think there will be a short list of candidates for this job
The main objective of life is: a. To make as much money as possible and get as rich as you can be. b. To enjoy your life and work a job that you like in a place that you call home. Could John Dorsey throw it all up in the air and move from rural Wisconsin to suburban NJ? I guess so, but why would he want too?
That would be a perfect time to move your kids, but that's a different point, and if he does a good job then he won't encounter that, and anyway he can't do much worse than Tannenbaum did, he will be viewed as a savior from day one, living in New York, the New guy always looks 50x better than the old one, and maybe he wants to make a name for himself and stop being another guys assistant.
It's human nature to be the best you can be, I don't know why they would object to a bigger and better job where they get more money, and I get he likes small town Green Bay, but come on this is New York
Dorsey is revered in Green Bay. He played for the Packers. He's one of the few player personnel directors that people recognize on the street. He's going to be Packers GM some day, probably some day soon. Why would he throw that up in the air to come be head ringmaster at the Big Apple Circus? It just makes no sense.
This is New York is not a selling point for a lot of people out there. It's a run screaming into the parking lot point.
I am a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan, and I look at the Jets as similar to the Leafs, although the Leafs have been worse, Toronto always gets the guys they want, because it's the Leafs, they are the most powerful franchise in hockey and it's always an honor to represent the mecca of the hockey universe, btw the media coverage for the Leafs is about the same if not more so than for the Jets
I think your nuts if you think that, New York is like no place in the world it is without a doubt a selling point, and I get the guy is loyal I'm just saying most guys would do that, but if this guy is this loyal, I show him a lot of respect, I'm just saying that a New York Job as big as this doesn't come around all the time
And the Maple Leafs haven't won a Cup since 1967, so maybe we shouldn't be following their blueprint.
Why? It's the 5th biggest city in North America and the Greater Toronto area is home to 7 million people. Its economic pull is bigger than every US market outside of NY an LA
I'm not saying follow their blueprint, never said that, I'm saying there is a certain allure to being apart of a big market organization like that. BTW sorry for ranting guys, this season pissed us all off and I am venting a bit
Okay? I don't get your point... Are you trolling me here because I am canadian or something? I lived in Toronto for 10 years and New York for 10, they aren't that different, except New York has double the people
My comparison was that working for a big market team like the New York Jets is equivalent to the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs, where they have guys lined up for job interviews. The Market's power and the idea of being a big name in a big city is alluring to people
If there's a flaw in the comparison, it's really that the pressure is much higher on the Maple Leafs than the Jets. They're the flagship franchise of the national sport. We're the junior varsity team in our own city.
No, I'm trolling you because you put the Jets and the Toronto Maple Leafs together and suggested that something that has significance in Toronto means anything at all in the NY metro market. Even then this is the wrong argument. John Dorsey is most likely not going to come to NY because he likes rural Wisconsin. Even Seattle was too big city for him.
