Give Tanny an accounting clerk job in the Jets office if you want Woody get a real football GM

[Bugg]

They already did this with Terry Bradway and it worked so well, why not do it again amirite? That Sanchez extension alone is all the argument you need against keeping the bean counter around unless its to sell hot dogs. Woody needs to stop being cheap and realize HE screwed up extending Trader Mike and cut his losses.

The Jets front office are experts in failing upward.. Bradway is probably in line to become VP/Chief Top Secret Super Scouting Director.

The problem is clearly Woody Johnson. He's a spoiled brat who has a lot of money but has no idsea how to really run anything. Sometimes with abject failure like this sheetshow you have to fire people. He presides over Florham Clown College. Serious people are not going to damage their reputations by going there. Get the sense it's why Pettine is in no rush to stay.

Keepiing Tannenbaum and Bradway sert up the new guy as the next fall guy. Gives these morons another body to fling into the fire when 2 years from now the team is still in the toilet. In 2014 or 2015: " (Insert new GM here) did not fit into our culture."

Great, lets keep Rex around, put all the blame on the accountant.

Yeah, that will turn things around quick!

No lets get a real GM and let him decide what to do with Rex. No side deals, no keeping people around, none of this bull that hasn't worked before (Terry Bradway). Give the GM the power to clean up this filth by allowing him complete control.

Bradway is good in his current position. I've read reports of him lobbying hard for players but ultimately being overruled by Tanny. Russell Wilson is one example.

Yea, Lets go after more smurf QB's clearly that formula has worked for the Jets over the years. Bradway has to go as well.

So perhaps the football guy was overruled by the accountant on draft day. But this is a problem because it means there is nobody accountable. Every draft day decision has built in plausbile deniability. Again the Jets' organizational chart is a total circle jerk.

However, Mike Tannenbaum may still be part of the future. The report says owner Woody Johnson is looking for someone to run the personnel decisions, while keeping Tannenbaum on to manage the salary cap and negotiate contracts. Houston's director of college scouting, Mike Maccagnan, was the only person named.

That partnership may not be palatable for some potential candidates.
"That's totally ridiculous," one league executive said in the report. "Only the Jets."
The report also said that it may come to be that Johnson ultimately will have to fully part ways with Tannenbaum to land the most attractive candidate.

Truly a bunch of idiots being ruled by an MBA-carrying douche who thinks he can just reassign problem employees down the food chain. An NFL front office is not a widget factory on the personnel side. It's a monarchy where success or failure is measured in four year blocks of time, so heads have to roll quickly when necessary.

I don't think their roster is all that talented...

[SouthernJet]

we wont get a premium candidate if Tannebaum allowed to stay. At a minimum, Tanny would have to report to the new GM and not have a dotted line with new GM to Woody.

[faba]

If Woody is as media conscious as we think he is- he has to blow this regime up. the fans and the media are ripping the whole organization no end.

[JOJOTOWNSELL]

how is it that our last 2 GM's (bradway and Mr T) are still going to be employed by Woody??

it really is a bad dream!!

[Bugg]

If he doesn't he will be looking atr a very empty stadium next season. The franchise has to have a single voice. All these people, like the Bradway "leak" or the Tebow mess, could've been avoided if there was one voice and one story. Instead he's setting himself up for more nonsense and leaks. Bringing back this ship of fools is a recipre for disaster.

Maybe not...but Seattle actually had this novel idea of building a stadium and concentrating on the fans and home field. We play in a giant air conditioner that's identical to the old stadium.

I already know several people that have given up their tickets including myself this year . One of my friends the most die hard I know had enough after this year . He has gone all over watching the Jets on the road no more for him

[CTM]

To everyone saying only demote tanny, why? What has he done to merit staying with the organization ??

[Vinny]

If the Jets ever want to make a move towards anything resembling respectability in the next few years, it'll take an entirely new front office in order to accomplish that. I don't know who the new GM should be, but I would echo the opinions that I've read around here that they need to go find an executive in one of the stable, successful organizations in the league such as Pittsburgh to come in and take over the personnel department.
