How the hell is Jay Cross still in this organization or Bradway for that matter if accountability was the issue?
You're insane. Last year's record has bought Mangini at least 3 losing seasons before a firing is even considered.
They're paying Bradway until the end of the year anyway based on his contract, and I'm sure that Tannebaum wanted to keep him around once the pecking order had been reversed. There's a lot of accountability that's going to have to happen by the end of the season and if the Jets continue to crumble it will sweep the decks of many long-standing fixtures.
He'd have to throw in, pissing on Woody's Green jets cap during the Christmas party to have a shot at getting the Ax. Realistically, For better or for worse, we're stuck with him until the new stadium is going to be opened (in 2010). If there is no turn-around by then, I expect to see a new Coach and GM simply to renew interest in the new stadium.
